How to choose one standard book per subject
A long reading list slows you down. One good book read three times is better than five read once.
- Ask toppers, teachers and seniors which book they used and why.
- Check that the book matches the latest syllabus.
- Read a sample chapter to see if the language suits you.
- Avoid switching books in the middle of a subject.
Use additional sources only to fill gaps that you identify.
