I used a blend of this and the book. I immediately started taking the tests to see what I knew and didn't know. Get the answer, and if it was logical then I remembered it. If I didn't have a clue as to why then I went back to read in the book until I understood. I took the L&H twice, passed both (license lapsed for a couple years) and passed the P&C on first try as well. Was much faster and more effective learning for me than reading the book cover to cover. Remember the test tries to confuse you more than question your knowledge so go slow and read the questions carefully.

Just schedule the test. Once you have a "due by date" you will automatically study more efficiently. It forces you to focus because the other way it is simply too dry of material to tolerate. IMO.

Read the Kaplan study material, completed the practice tests. Spent somewhere around 30 hours studying, scored an 80.
Do you remember where you got your flashcards? I'm taking the Florida 220 exam in a month and I'm very nervous.

Please note, I am not an agent, nor do I hold an insurance license.
I purchased an old examFx book, and separately, a set of examFx flash cards on eBay in order to attempt some basic familiarity with insurance vocabulary and concepts. I am most interested in Health ins and can't make any comments beyond that area.
I found the link below by searching for examFx flash cards:

I don't know how complete this is in relation to your needs, or what other online resources you might find with searching.
agent2011 that posted above has indicated in the past that he has online materials, including flashcards, available. You would have to speak with him about Texas vs your state's orientation of the materials.
From all the reading I have done in forum threads about the exam, I think that many who have successfully passed the exam believe that xrac's post above, backed up to some extent by donamese's more in depth study steps, shows the most direct route to passing the exam.
Best of luck with the test.

How many chapters or sections are in your study guide? I tried to read the entire book of course work and then test questions and found my eyes wandering after an hour or so. I set upon reading one chapter or section, taking the test, and leaving the books closed for the rest of the day. I found myself allocating about 2 hours per day and acing the tests. Good Luck
