It is true that many of the puzzles in CT-ART are mate, but many are not. I wouldn't discount it all as queen sacrifices, either. There are many themes and they may be just been in one that you didn't find benifitial.
emrald.net, also known as chess tactics server, is also a great resource. It is more geared towards speed chess, as they give you onl ...[text shortened]... more difficult puzzles, often requiring several minutes to solve. Many are unsolvable for me.
I've done over 900 of the positions, although admittedly 300 of them many times over.
If so many of them are Q sacs for mate that chap must have a different version to mine.
I also struggle on many of the studies with difficulty level 40 & up.
P.S
To get back on topic I'm going through some of the later chapters of A First Book of Morphy setting the games up with an analysis board.
