Default Best Study Manual for MFE?

Which is the best study manual for MFE?

If you could comment of the clarity of the topics and the complexity of the sample questions. Do the manual have sample questions for each section and are there sample exams included in the study manual.

Thanks for your comments.

I learned all the material for MFE with the ASM study guide within 6 weeks. The material is clearly presented, especially the last 3 sections where the textbooks rambling explanations confused me. There are more than enough sample questions to adequately prepare for the exam.

Only 2 problems, is that as a first editions there were a lot of small mistakes, so you'll need a copy of the errata with you. No biggie. Also the sample exams are sold seperately, which is a bummer, but if you order both at the same time it isn't too bad.

I am also using the ASM, it is very clear and concise. I also have the Mahler guide, which I find to have WAY too much extraneous information and is generally terrible.

Sounds like ASM is the one that I will buy.
Thanks for the input.
