Any German workbook for Grammar
a B1 Book such as The Little Prince
Extra German: Cheesy sitcom aimed at high school students
That's basically what I did except for Spanish
I used to teach 1001-2001 at a major university in the US.
You're having trouble learning in the classroom? Are you spending at least three hours outside of class for every hour spent in class? That's the recommended amount of homework/ review work to do well in any college-level class.
Here are some other tips.
No matter what you do, make a point of doing this every day. I have an Austrian friend whose mom is a moderately famous Slovakian-born author who writes in German. Her (=the Mom's) German was admittedly lousy when she moved to Austria. However, every day, she made a point of watching a cooking show she liked and learned a ton of German from that. If you hate cooking shows, don't watch them. : ) In this case, the cooking show was helpful because there are a lot of repetitive actions and very useful nouns and verbs - food words are really important! : )
ETA - Reddit automatically changed my numbering. The stinkers! : P
Highly recommended if you're willing to spend a few bucks (and if you're willing to put in hundreds of hours of your time this is a good investment)

Look at the two-star and three-star reviews of "The Everything Learning German Book" on Amazon. They suggest that the book is poorly organized and that the CD isn't well integrated with the text. I'd stay away from that one, if I were you.
Whatever book you buy should depend on your language study plan. If you're going to use Duolingo as the core of your program, you can probably buy a grammar outline like Schaum's. This is what I'd recommend, personally.
On the other hand, if you really do want an integrated course, I see that Ultimate German and Complete German both got good reviews.
If you have a specific goal for the language, I might recommend something different. For example, if you are going to Germany in three months and just want "survival German" or if you're an academic and simply want to be able to read papers in German. If you have a linguistic background, I might suggest something more sophisticated than Schaum's. But from the info you gave, I think Duolingo plus Schaum's will give you the best result.
Best of luck!
Schaum's Outlines has exactly what you're looking for. They did wonders for my proficiency in the language. There's explanations of grammatical concepts (first book) or vocabulary (second book) followed by exercises, whose answers are in the back.
Viel Glück!

Not sure if this is exactly what you want, but in my intermediate class we're using Schaum's Outline of German Grammar, it is mostly exercises, with answers in the back.
