<p>hey I’m in the 12th grade in a CBSE school, and am preparing for the IIT. I was thinking of giving my GCE A levels in November in math, phys, chem and probably further mathematics too. What are the books you would recommend?( Topics that arent included in the CBSE or IIT syllabus?)
i had shortlisted a few-

<p>A levels are necessary to apply to Oxford/Cambridge/LSE if you want to apply right after high school. If you’re looking at IIT only, then there’s no point giving em.</p>
