Books for SSC CGL, CPO and other graduate-level exams

These exams reward speed and accuracy in maths, reasoning, English and general awareness. Two or three core books plus previous years' papers are enough; more books rarely help.

  • Quantitative Aptitude for Competitive Examinations

    R.S. Aggarwal (S. Chand)

    The standard practice book for arithmetic. Strong on volume of questions; weak on shortcuts, so pair it with solved papers.
