Do I buy prep materials for Series 63?

Hi all, I just passed the SIE exam today after studying for about two weeks and didn't use Kaplan/STC. I was wondering if it was significantly harder to pass the 63 without any help either. For reference I am a college senior trying to get the SIE/63 out of the way before training so I don't have to deal with it, yet I don't want to buy the prep material. Can I fly by with just public quizlets, youtube videos, and free practice tests? Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
