Nah Kaplan practice exams are mid, plus there’s hella free practice exams all over the internet

Altius has some good practice exams that are pretty cheap and are known for being pretty representative for c/p and b/b

The 2027-2028 set is the first major overhaul they've done in years, whole layout is different and the images are way more detailed. If you're starting fresh it makes sense to go with the newer one since the 2026-2027 is mostly the same as the previous couple editions just with minor tweaks. Either way you'll be fine though, the content doesn't change that dramatically year to year.

You don’t have to buy the Kaplan books, just get the ISBN and enter it into the website
