Thanks childplease. I think I will put ASM practice and ASM solution for released exams first, then after ASM, I will move TIA if have time left, and will see if I am confident at that point.

infinitely many. I'm not sure about the end-of-chapter exercises but I know for certain that there are 10 Practice Exams which consist of 35 questions each. So let N be the total number of questions in ASM manual, then {N:N>=350} xD

ASM Manual at actexmadriver.com

"The manual has about 1350 pages, about 250 examples, 67 in-lesson exercises, and about 1200 end-of-lesson exercises, including both original and old exam questions, many of them taken from pre-2000 exams, which are not easily available, all with worked out solutions. In addition to these exercises, there are ten full-length (35-question) practice exams."

I, on the other hand, am behind. Still trying to get through ASM for the first time

You have enough time if you really work at it from now on. I'm sitting at about the same spot in the ASM, starting 45 tonight. I'm hoping to finish up the manual by the end of the week. I've done most the end of lesson exercises 2/3 to all for the first half the manual and have stopped at half in the last half. Hopefully things will stick well enough. Review is going to be two days to run through end of lesson questions that I starred and some ones I didn't do. Figure I should be able to crack 120 off a day. This will give me two questions from each lesson for two days to refresh my memory. Then I'll be doing the PE's, one a day during the week and two a day on the weekend. That should leave me with about a week to learn anything that I'm still having issues with. I've been going back and and trying keep up with memorization for about a week and a half now so I'm doing good there. EEEEEEEK! The exam is 20 days away!!!! Feeling a little screwed right now. Summer studying is the sucks! Good luck everyone! Keep up the hard work!

I know!... I feel so far behind right now though. I was planning on having a month to review and summer kinda took over and I ended up behind. Now, I'll have to kick my own butt to pull off a pass. Figure get up early have a cup of joe and take a test... mark... review a couple topics.. break for a few hours maybe get some excersise and eat supper then take an exam in the evening. Repeat.

Worst part is waiting for results, figure I'll take off 3-4 weeks and start studying again in case I have to write again in Nov. Hopefully this will be wasted time and I can move on to studying for AFE... now that one I'm really, really not looking forward to.
