Hi my dear friend................

I can give the preparation for MAT books..............and websites.............

Clear you basic Maths Concepts. The best way to start is the text books for Class 10, 12th or some study material provided by a coaching institute. Learn as many formulas as possible and find some shortcuts. Also practice as many sums as possible..........

Work on your Vocabulary and English by reading newspapers, magazines. Also watch news channels and see how a word can be used in different ways.

Practice a lot and take as many model test papers as possible and see which section is taking how much of your time. This will help you to gauge your strengths and weaknesses.........

BOOKS...........

R. S. Aggarwal – Maths XI & XII

S.L. Loni – Plane Trigonometry Part I

S.L. Loni – Co-ordinate Geometry

Hall & Knight – Higher Algebra

Arihant publications

R.s. Agarwal - reasoning.

Thank you...................
