As soon as we reach class 12th, there is so much of hustle and bustle going on in our minds and being CBSE students it creates more jitters to us. When I reached class 12th, i too had encountered with the same problems as you all must be facing right now over the selection of the most suitable books for you, as a lot of alternatives are available.
We take so much of pressure that we go to our teachers, seniors and other fellow students for recommendations of some good books, but what we end up with is again in the state of dilemmas as every one has a different opinion for the book.
If one is telling all the positive points about the book then it doesn’t mean that the other person will also have the same thoughts. We cannot say that they are wrong or right, it is their perspective for the book, some of them find it very easy to understand, whereas some did not get it. So, it is just building understanding with the book.
Best Reference Books For Class 12 CBSE Physics NCERT 2023
As this is your course book then of course it should be your first choice as at last you are going to find that questions are framed from this book only.
It will tell you exactly what all topics are going to be covered. So, it is my personal suggestion to you that first go with NCERT book of physics and see what all topics are there. Practice all the questions that are there in the book.
As every book has its pros and cons, so let us discuss that also as nothing should be left to know.
Pros: This is the main book so question paper will finally be set from this book. Exact syllabus is given in the book that what all you have to study from your examination point of view. Provide you with exercise questions once the chapter is over, so if you solve those questions, half of your problem is solved and for those who completely rely on NCERT, 80 – 90% marks they can easily score if they study only this book thoroughly.
Cons: NCERT although is sufficient, but when we talk about detailed explanation of the topic, there it lags behind, although book has covered every single topic, but it needs deep understanding with the book, that somewhere we are unable to build. So, therefore reference books are must if you want to study more and more questions.
How to Score Good Marks in Exam
Reference Books:
We are providing you with a complete list of some good reference books that will surely help you to prepare for your boards as well as competitive level examinations, so that you can clear your exam in the very first chance only.
But let me tell you only buying the good reference book is not going to help you, you will have to work really very hard, practice all the questions that are there in the book thoroughly, read all the theory portion with complete dedication and understand all the derivations, do not just mug them up, i have seen a lot students who are in the habit of mugging up and during the time of examination they simply forget what they mugged up.
So, be patient, it will take time to understand everything but go on, do not give up easily and you will definitely get success.
So, let’s discuss some of the good reference books, that will help you a lot.
Pradeep’s Fundamental Physics:
You must had noticed mostly every one recommend us to purchase Pradeep’s, as seriously it is a very helpful book to all the board aspirants and not only boards, it will help you for your competitive examinations.
If you have Pradeep’s Publication book which is written by K.L. Gomber and K.K. Gogia for Physics, trust me you do not need to buy any other book, as it is enough with NCERT book to make your concepts clear.
Pros: Okay, so if we talk about the positive sides of the book then the list is very long, but let me any how tell you all the positive points of the book. You just need to understand every single thing of the book thoroughly.
The book not only will help you to understand NCERT’s concepts, but it is a complete bank of all the questions that have great chances that you will see them in your physics question papers, so it makes your preparations for boards very easy, not only this but there are a lot of other questions given too for practice, NCERT exemplar questions are also there, HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills) questions are there, not only this but you can also prepare for your competitive examinations from this book.
Cons: It is very difficult to figure out negative point from a book providing with a complete package of study material, but if we have to talk about this, then there is just one thing that i can say if you preparing just for your boards with great understanding of NCERT’s concepts and have no such plans of appearing for competitive examinations then don’t buy this book, as book is full of questions and thus it will become hectic for you that which questions has to be given more preference and which not. So, in that situation you can avoid buying the book and pay your full attention towards NCERT.
Modern’s ABC:
Being a Modern Publication’s book and written by Satish K. Gupta ABC is also among one of the good books that can be recommended to students who are going to appear for class 12th examinations.
Book provides you with understanding of theoretical portions. Variety of questions you will see in the book that will make your concept building more stronger.
Pros: If you are aimed at preparing for competitions also then i would recommend you do purchase the book as it will prove itself to be a best guide in concept building. Theory portion is so well explained in the book, that you will find it easy to understand the topics.
Cons: Nothing is perfect in this world, everyone has some imperfections in them, and so as the books too have. Again i will say you that if you have no such plans of appearing for competitions then just restrict yourself towards your course book, as book is so much piled up with the theory portion and extra knowledge which is not needed if you are preparing just for your board examinations. For that, if you will just make your NCERT concepts strong and solve all the exercise questions by yourself and with complete dedication then it is enough to score 85-90% marks in your exams.
S.L. Arora:
Now S.L. Arora is somewhat we call a decent book. It is a balanced book, neither you will find a complete bank of questions here nor less. It is a book that you can purchase for yourself if you want to prepare for your board examinations.
Pros: As i have told you earlier also that it is a balanced book, neither too much of theory is in this book nor a complete ocean of questions. A complete balance is there, so if you are restricted just to your board examination and also you are not finding sufficient for yourself, then this book can prove itself as ideal to you. Basic to moderate level of questions you will find here which are enough for your board examinations.
Cons: If you are planning of participating in competitive examinations also, then this book will not help you much, although book is very good providing you with enough knowledge but the kind of practice you need for JEE or NEET or AIIMS and many more, then there you will have to go with other books.
H.C. Verma:
A good book will help you with solutions for every problem and H.C. Verma is such a complete book that will provide you with everything.
Not only your boards but it will also help you in preparing for your competitive exams by making your base strong. The only condition is that you will have to put all your concentration towards the book by burning all the mid night lamps with just one aim that you have to clear your exams with good marks.
Pros: This book along with NCERT is enough if you are focused towards your competitions also. Book contains high level conceptual and numerical questions and if you will practice them, no exam is there that you cannot clear. Just study by putting all your concentration that you have to do it any how.
This book is like icing on the cake, if you study this book regularly and practice all the questions thoroughly then on one hand you are getting prepared for your board examinations and on the second your base is getting strong for competitive papers also. So, if you want you can purchase this book for a brighter future.
Cons: Just one thing about the cons of the book is that if you are concentrating completely on your board examinations then do not purchase this book, although there is no harm of purchasing, but there is no such use of the book, you can prepare for boards from your course book only. So, choice is up to you.
