    Dr. O's book for FM?

    What is the link to get his book for FM? Does he have one for MFE too? I liked his P book a lot so if his style is the same in the others with lots of practice exams, I will get both. Can anyone comment on this? I noticed the actual ASM book is by another author.

    Hi,

    When you say book, I am assuming you are talking about manual, if that is the case here are the couple links to get Dr. Ostaszewski's manual. Yes, he has lot of practice exams in his FM maual and as far as I know, he does not have a manaual for MFE yet. If I am wrong please correct me, because I am also waiting for his MFE manual.

    You can use either link to order his manual.

    Goodluck

    Do you think I should go with the Dr. O manual or should I get the ASM manual by Harold Cherry? I loved Dr. O's P manual, but since this one doesn't seem to be the official ASM one, I am not sure if I should stick with the author or ASM. I am confused. Which is better quality? I prefer a more difficult manual and lots of practice exams.

    Well, for me Dr. O's manual is the best. I cannot suggest anything else apart from this. Defiantely his manual is harder and he has lot of practice exams, if I am not wrong I think he has 13 practice exams with each of 30 questions. I do not have the latest one, so that's why I am not sure. I appreciate if someone can correct me.

    Goodluck

    Yes the most recent edition of Dr. O's manual has 12 practice exams with 30 questions, with a comperehensive review of all the materials covered on the exams (including some derivatives stuff). I definitely like his manual because it clearly explains all the solutions and there are so many practice questions.
