If you scroll down to the end of this webpage (similar forum topics) you will see this topic has been discussed before. No one can give you a clear cut answer because everyone studies differently, what works for one person doesn't necessarily mean it will work for you. Some people have studied only kaplan and passed, others did only goljan and also passed, and some others did both and felt that's what helped them pass.....so it all depends from person to person. So check up on those discussions to help you reach a decision.

Bottomline, if you think that after reading kaplan you are able to answer the practice questions adequately without any confusion, then kaplan just might be enough for you, otherwise if you have access to goljan then read through it and see if you need it. One last thing that you also have to consider is, do you have time to study from all these different books? Depends what your schedule is like...
