Books for mains+adv

Hi i'm a 2026 jee aspirant. I am genuinely confused of how to start my preparation, even though i go to my coaching classes and complete all my modules, am still not satisfied with preparation for every upcoming mock test, on the other side my friends are solving so many books: cengage series, hc verma etc i have hc verma and dc pandey for physics neeraj kumar for physical chemistry Please suggest any good pyq book for inorganic chemistry Is cengage for math preferred? Also please help me with math trigonometry, i usually take a lot of time to understand a basic concept.

do only one book and complete it fully, then move to other books. Im good at phy so id say HCV if you want to really make your basics strong, DCP only if you want to practice good level + good variety of sums. Like Aman said the best advice only your teacher can give you but yeah this is my input :))

Do not go for any books instead do topicwise practice upto advance level @√-1

na i strongly feel differently about this. :D no one provides 'advanced level' questions. it is always a miss cos it is hard to make questions at the advanced level, it is usually flicked from a good book so, go study from that source/good book directly is what was suggested in the .chem thingy

Ghostyy has 490 rank in advanced he was my batch mate I agree coaching books have good advanced level questions Except for some parts coaching makes them exceptionally hard for mind building so I don't think k those are

haan and most students aren't able to differentiate between them and fall into a trap. cos you will be able to get to a solution by yourself. most students will need a bit of handholding, which almost never happens unless you are in a top batch

Yeah therefore advanced level questions can be sought out mostly the hard ones are asked in tests pyqs are the way to go I think so Yea that's tru .cengage

For maths go with blackbook But make sure to keep a maths teacher handy for doubts For trigonometry I suggest you to remember the formulae and find different type of questions and store them @√-1
