I've been comparing the main study guides and I'm confused about which one to get. There are at least 4 options and the reviews on Amazon are all over the place.

Books I'm considering:
  • The official publisher guide (~$55)
  • Barron's equivalent if there is one
  • Cheaper third-party study guide on Amazon
  • Going book-free and only using online practice tests

I've been doing the free practice questions at https://practicetestgeeks.com/usps-error-detection-test and honestly they've been more useful than I expected. Part of me wonders if I even need a book at this point.

What did you use? Was a book essential or can you get by without one?
 
I just finished my USPS - Error Detection Test last month and my experience was almost identical. The exam day tips section especially — I showed up without two forms of ID the first time and nearly couldn't sit for it.
