Default ASM Practice Exams

I am currently working through the ASM practice exams and am not having much of a problem getting the correct answers. Are the later practice exams (4 and 5) harder than the first ones? I am trying to use the hardest problems to gauge my knowledge of the subject matter and don't want to waste my time on easier questions.

I thought that 4 and 5 were easier. In fact, I got something like 28 or 29 on number 5. In my opinion, numbers 2 and 3 were harder than 4 and 5. Then again, maybe I was just getting the hang of it by the time 4 and 5 rolled around (let's hope so).

If you want harder questions, go to the questions of the week at the top of the forum. They come in documents with only one question, so if you want them to be in a test format, you will have to compile them beforehand. They're tougher, plus they're free!

You are right, Dr. Ostaszewski's questions are definately harder than any other questions.

Good luck
