How to Use RD Sharma Effectively
- First, complete NCERT — Solve all NCERT exercises before opening RD Sharma
- Focus on solved examples — RD Sharma's solved examples teach you methods. Study them before attempting exercises.
- Don't solve everything — Each exercise has 30-60 questions. Do the first 15-20, then skip to the harder ones at the end.
- Mark difficult questions — Come back to them during revision week.
- Use solutions wisely — Try each question for 5-10 minutes before checking the solution. Copying solutions teaches nothing.
- Time yourself — As board exams approach, solve exercises under time pressure.
RD Sharma vs NCERT — Which Is Better?
- For understanding concepts: NCERT wins — clearer explanations, government-approved
- For practice: RD Sharma wins — 3-5x more questions per topic
- For board exams: NCERT is essential (questions come from it), RD Sharma is supplementary (builds speed and accuracy)
- For JEE: RD Sharma Objective Mathematics is specifically designed for JEE-level practice
- Verdict: You need both. NCERT for concepts + RD Sharma for practice = 90+ in Maths.
