Play with Advanced Maths	Abhinay Sharma	Specifically designed to master Geometry and Algebra.
Quantum CAT	Sarvesh Kumar Verma	Good if you want to solve very high-level tricky questions.

Detailed Review of Top Picks

1. Rakesh Yadav 7300+ Mathematics

This is perhaps the most popular book among SSC aspirants. It contains almost every question asked in SSC exams from 1999 to the present date.

• The Best Part: Every question has a QR code. If you get stuck, you can scan it and watch a video explanation.

2. Kiran Chapter-wise Solved Papers

If you want to practice one topic at a time (like only “Percentage” for three days), this book is for you. It organizes questions by type and level of difficulty.

3. Abhinay Sharma’s Advanced Math

Advance Math (Geometry, Mensuration, Trigonometry) carries a lot of weight in Tier 2. Abhinay Sir is known for short tricks and “out-of-the-box” thinking. This book will help you solve long problems in just a few seconds.

The Winning Strategy: Don’t Just Read, Test Yourself!

Reading books will give you knowledge, but the SSC CGL exam is a race against time. You only get 60 minutes in Tier 1 to solve 100 questions. You cannot win this race with books alone.

You need to know how it feels to solve math problems while a timer is ticking on the screen. This is where PracticeMock helps you.
