Any accountants out there...?

Hello! I know this is kind of odd but I have a question for any accountants that are willing to give advice! I'm currently studying accounting and plan to sit for the CPA exam next fall. I have been saving all of my accounting textbooks but am now wondering if it's necessary considering I'm going to take a review course before the exam...? Any thoughts? Also, since you are already here, any additional advise on taking the CPA? Thanks!
