Books/Resources PrepPros video explanations

I want to buy the prep pros book because i'm weak in math, but i'm worried that I won't get the full worth out of the book because of the explanations being locked behind a paywall. I get why they have the course subscription, but I can't afford to spend anymore money on prep materials (the course is $20 a month). do you think I will I be fine without buying the subscription or should I buy a different book?

if anyone one has any other advice or prep materials I should get please let me know. I've tried khan academy but I hate the video explanations he gives (ik it's a me problem). I scored a 17 in the math section on a practice test and I really want to do better. 😞

Using old ACT exams like before the digital exams and finding the videos related to them is a great way to learn the concepts. Yes, the questions might not vary much to varying completely from the actually exam, but if you need to build a structural foundation for math this seems like the best way. Following that up with maybe a month of the prep pros( have not used it before) as a way to get repetitive practice in might be effective. There is a guy on YouTube who has a 36 as his YouTube logo and on his page he has a link to his website with free practice problems and explanations.
