I have a question, it says in the bonus resource book to have all the exercises completed at 92 beats per minute. But I tried doing the finger pattern #1 exercise 3 in the bonus resource book and WOW that is so fast.

I don't even know if it is possible to move my fingers that fast. 

So I guess my question is, do we need to be able to complete that exercise at 92 bpm to move on?

I am thinking you are either not counting your beats correctly or setting your metronome wrong? 

Try going back to Steve's lesson to find a drill using a metronome. That may help. 

92 bpm is fast but not insanely so. Good luck and keep practicing.

I think the exercise you are referring to contains 16th notes. 16th notes at 92 bpm is fast. I've been playing (or attempting to play) fingerstyle guitar for years and I can't play that fast. My advice is to move on to the next exercise.
