Studying for the written was worse than the actual test.  The first time, I had the videos plus the unofficial master question book, and it took a month to get through both prior to the test.  The next time was for my commercial, multi, and instrument upgrades, and I took a 1 day prep class where we went over the applicable paragraphs and all of the known questions for those tests.  I preferred the class approach by far :)
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

You could've missed 4 more questions and still done just fine.
