Additional Resources For Your Success
We strongly recommend and request you use one of the online question pool resources to drill the question pool and take practice tests!
There are many (many!) good resources on the web to help you study, take practice tests, and prepare for class. For example, we recommend - HamStudy.org.
There are also quite a few great books published by ARRL and other authors.

No Nonsense Tech Study Guide available from kb6nu.com.
Another take on the question pool with explanations intermixed with the questions. Many find this format with background material an aid to their understanding and success. (In class we use only the Q&A and discuss the explanations interactively.)
