Question Sporty's Learn To Fly Course (Online)

I purchased Sporty's Learn To Fly Course (Online Study) about 3-4 months ago because I wanted to get some studying in as fast as possible for my FAA PPL Written.

I would come home from work and try to study...sometimes falling asleep while watching the videos and growing rather weary while reading the text material lol, however you could say I got in about 2-3 weeks of so-so studying before I did my written and what do you know? I barely passed with 70% (Although I was scoring in my 80's before I was actually endorsed)

Anyhow the real question is: Do you think I should order a physical kit or any other study materials to add to this (Online Course)? I can always buy whichever books I need from amazon separately.

N.B I also used some King School PPL Videos (which were way better than Sporty's IMO)

I would suggest that you pick your course materials in consultation with your instructor, if you have one already. If not, The FAA books are available on the FAA website in PDF format for free. The Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge is a good place to start.
