Yes, it is possible as long as there haven't been any major re-writes. I've used previous and later editions of texts for other classes that weren't the same year, and I found the majority of the text stays the same. However, for the Straighterline business courses they now offer the ebook included for an additional $10. I found it much easier than trying to source copies myself.
One thing I have noticed though in some of my more recent SL tests is that the wording has been updated. It's not exactly the same as the text, a few words have been changed, so searching the ebook became a bit more challenging if you didn't remember where that section was.
