Cook,
The entire concept is that the publisher McGraw-Hill (for ex.) wisely decided to fashion a course from their existing book inventory. This shouldn't be a surprise since the online supplements to the books these days are very thorough. So the SL courses follows the book exactly. You go chapter by chapter and take end of chapter quizzes, (which in many cases closely resemble the existing online quizzes for that particular book). Then you have 4 or so exams that cover four chapters. The best resourses for the course are the exact book and/or the online supplement to the book, since the course follows a particular McGraw-Hill book. For Macro and Micro start here and make your way to the student edition info for each book. I bought these books used for my son for under $25 each. Even if you don't buy the books then use the online student edition resourses. It is all there.
