'With,' 'by,' or 'at'?

Which preposition should I use? Are all these prepositions acceptable?

I was amazed (with, by, at) the result of my examination.

Amazed is adjectival in your sentence. I would only use at. CB

The ngram in the link below shows that "amazed with" is very unusual; "amazed at" is certainly the one I would prefer too, but I don't find "amazed by" unacceptable.
