prep book

Test readiness manual

A prep book is a study guide designed to help someone prepare for a standardized test or exam: She bought a prep book for the SAT, I'm working through a GRE prep book.

These books typically contain practice questions, test-taking strategies, and review material.

The term is short for "preparation book" and is especially common in educational contexts around college admissions tests.
