My advice : These materials are not enough to get a good score . you have to study from your textbooks and review the whole subject.
Yeah, it's kindof like practicing for a PhD qualifying exam:

There is a list of textbook references in the last page of the Titanium Bits study guide. One must gain a wide yet detailed knowledge and test well among top people in CS, so one cannot solve too many textbook problems.
