Hey Manas!

It completely depends on which sections you need to focus on. If you find a specific section of the test more challenging than the rest, it would be wise to invest in a book that specializes in that section. However, if you don’t have such a weak point, you can get a comprehensive book that includes the concepts covered under all the sections of the test.
