Book Ranking
The teaching style is fun, clear, and the content is complete but easy to understand. Very well-organized.
The book has teaching content and practice exercises. It’s lightweight and cheap, but a bit too difficult for some students.
Fun to study and the content is good, but it doesn’t have many pictures. You need to watch their videos along with the book. Also quite expensive.
This book has up to 17 sets in one volume, which is a lot. But the questions are not very realistic and feel randomly made.
No practice questions, only teaching content. The layout is plain and pretty boring, but the price is okay.
