How many hours did it take you to read the whole book and do all the exercises that you did? I am reading it too, so far I’ve spent somewhere between 12 and 22 hours and I’m at exercises 2.A. Also I recommend watching https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYO_jab_esuFRV4b17AJtAw/playlists Linear Algebra Essence playlist to get (or remind yourself of) some geometric intuitions.
I spent 3 hours tops per set of ~20 exercises (allowing myself the hint schedule I detailed), but my overall time was somewhat lower than the 84 hours that implies. On average, my pace was one section + exercises / day.
The hint schedule meant that at first, I was pretty bad and needed help liberally, but that went away quickly. Some exercises took me half an hour or more, but for most I had a proof outline within a minute.
I also was familiar with the content of the first three chapters from my linear algebra course in college.
