Is NCERT enough? Should I buy RD Sharma or RS Aggarwal? Do I need a question bank too?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The simple answer is that <strong>there is no single \u201cbest\u201d Maths book for every Class 10 student<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your choice should depend on your current level, your target marks, how much time you have and whether you need conceptual practice or exam-oriented questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For CBSE students, however, one thing should remain constant: <strong>NCERT Mathematics should be the foundation of your preparation.<\/strong> The reference books should come after you have properly understood and practised the NCERT textbook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this guide, ShikshaNest takes a practical look at some of the <strong>best books for Class 10 Maths<\/strong>, including NCERT, R.D.

Was it the formula? The concept? Calculation? Understanding the question?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That habit is far more valuable than simply memorising solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_should_use_NCERT\"><\/span>Who should use NCERT?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Every Class 10 CBSE Maths student.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether your target is 70 marks, 90 marks or 100 marks, NCERT should be part of your preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_RD_Sharma_Mathematics_for_Class_10\"><\/span>2.

Sharma Mathematics for Class 10<\/strong> is one of the most widely used reference books for students who want extensive Maths practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest advantage of R.D. Sharma is the <strong>large variety of questions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have completed the relevant NCERT chapter, R.D. Sharma can give you additional practice and expose you to different approaches to solving problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_students_choose_RD_Sharma\"><\/span>Why students choose R.D. Sharma<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">R.D. Sharma is useful for students who:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Want extensive practice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enjoy solving challenging questions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Need more examples after NCERT.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Want stronger conceptual understanding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are targeting very high marks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>May also be interested in competitive or advanced-level preparation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, there is an important catch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You do not necessarily need to solve every question in the book.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">R.D. Sharma can be considerably more extensive than what a student needs for straightforward board preparation. Recent discussions among students and educators also highlight this issue: the book is useful, but trying to complete everything can consume a lot of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Our_suggestion\"><\/span>Our suggestion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use R.D.

Aggarwal Mathematics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compared with a very extensive reference book, many students find R.S. Aggarwal more straightforward for additional practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It provides a variety of questions and can be particularly useful if you want more practice after completing NCERT without going into extremely extensive problem sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RS_Aggarwal_is_useful_for\"><\/span>R.S.

After completing NCERT, students can choose R.D. Sharma, R.S. Aggarwal, NCERT Exemplar or an appropriate question bank depending on their preparation level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is NCERT enough for Class 10 Maths?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NCERT should be the foundation of your preparation. Students aiming for higher marks can supplement it with NCERT Exemplar, a suitable reference book, previous year questions and sample papers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is R.D. Sharma better than R.S. Aggarwal for Class 10 Maths?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neither is universally better. R.D. Sharma is known for extensive practice and a wide range of questions, while R.S. Aggarwal can be a more manageable choice for additional board-oriented practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I score 90+ in Maths using NCERT?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, a student can build a strong preparation using NCERT, but scoring very high also depends on conceptual understanding, consistent practice, previous year questions, sample papers and exam performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Should I solve both R.D. Sharma and R.S. Aggarwal?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usually, there is no need to complete both. Choose one additional reference source according to your needs and spend your time solving it properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>When should I start solving sample papers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sample papers are most useful after you have covered the syllabus and have enough command over the concepts.
