The 11th edition has over 1250 pages, over 1200 end-of-lesson exercises, including about 400 original exercises and 800 old exam questions, plus about 280 examples and 100 in-lesson exercises. In addition to these exercises, there are 10 full-length (25 question) practice exams.

Many students have found this manual adequate by itself for exam preparation, but references to the textbooks are provided in each lesson if you wish to use them.
