Yeah. I'm not in mood to take General Paper. But it has been set compulsory by my school, but I'm thinking to get myself failed in it's mock, so my admission of General paper won't be sent. :p

"Accessible Physics" is a better option for Physics !

Well, our school has opted for the Pacific Volume 1 and 2. But I'll also buy accessible pyhsics after consulting from more students and teacher. ;)

Plus, any more suggestions?

Most of the schools recommend different books in the syllabus but not the good ones always ! Accessible + comprehensive physics rock !
