Yes it is the books listed in the exam content guides. If you want to double check you can always go to the Excelsior College bookstore online. Then click on the Exams link and then click the box for the specific exam you want. The next page will show you the "required" books (that's what you're looking for) and the "recommended" texts. I would not buy them on that site however because they are overpriced and you don't need the most current edition.
*I just wanted to add that I am active-duty military so the EC exams are free for me. So, in my case, it makes sense to shell out $20 or $30 for a used textbook or two to ensure a really good grade on those exams.
