There are countless books available on any given topic, and many of them are excellent choices. Selecting just one book to guide you through a school credit or academic competition can be challenging. Each book offers its own unique approach and format. A good way to find quality resources is by consulting with teachers, peers, or reading online reviews. Ultimately, choosing the right book depends on your personal reading preferences and learning style.In this section,

 Under this section, I’ll share the books that were instrumental in my academic and competition journey. The books listed here helped me with Math & Science Competitions, earn AP Honors with Distinction and score 1540 on the SAT in one attempt—without the need for any tutoring! Feel free to explore the list below and choose what best suits your needs.

General Reading / Summer Prep

If you're new to academic competitions, I highly recommend starting with the Barron’s E-Z series of books. You don’t need to be a competitor to benefit from these books—they are well-written and great for overall academic success. These books provide a solid foundation in Math, Science and other areas, making them an excellent starting point. Once students have a good grasp of the basics, transitioning to more advanced materials becomes much easier. I particularly recommend this series for elementary & middle school students, as they are not only easy to understand but also give students plenty of time to progress to more challenging books. These books are also great to start off with Science Bowl Prep.​​
