Aaah the study buddy. That's a useful tool and its free so keep doing it.
I get tired of paper materials and the online stuff, so when I did my private some years ago I would get up before dawn and watch a couple hours of Sporty's Private Pilot dvds. They are a quality item and I learned a lot.
Your CFI should have you using a textbook like Jeppeson Private Pilot. Bear in mind you need a variety sources and if ASA is all you have, I think you need some more material. I like ASA and do use them, but I do not think they are as high quality as some others in terms of completeness, production, and appeal.
King stuff is good but a lot more expensive. I really like their commercial pilot dvd as it was the only dvd I could find showing how to actually fly comm. manuevers.
If you are into getting very high scores the Gleim testbank only costs $15 and has a lot of questions to try. I would save it to the end before taking the written as a final touches kind of thing. Good luck!

Use the Gleim Test Prep software. It helps you with study sessions and simulates test sessions as well, both cats and laser grade. I used Gleim for all of my test's, private through cfII. I will tell you they are the best, never scored lower than 93 on any of them. And honestly, the tests are rather easy, assuming you study. Good Luck!

Obtain a private pilot knowledge test question bank book. Every question that could possibly show up on your exam (maybe 1,000 or so) are in there. Do a certain amount per day (20 or so). Check the answers to see if you got it right. If you did not get it right, go back to your books and review that.
By the time you get to the test, you will have seen all the questions on your test. I would just see the first three words of the question, and circle the answer, because it looked so familiar. Got a 98% so it must have worked.
