Kaplan CFA Level 1 study package

I'm a junior in college (major in finance/minor in accounting) taking the CFA level 1 in December 2018 as a senior and I am looking to invest in a Kaplan Study package that will benefit me the most. I don't have a lot of disposable income so i want to make sure i choose the right package. Is the 'Essential' package (SchweserNotes volumes 1-5 books, Qbank, Quicksheet of formulas, study calendar, instructor office hours, 6 full length tests in Practice Exams volume 1 &2) the go-to? Or is it enough just purchasing the SchweserNotes volumes 1-5 books alone? I apologize if this post is redundant but i am conflicted due to the major difference in price and amount of material in each package. Thanks.
