Best self study book for AMA

P.C.Tulsian should be reffered for concepts. U can also refer ICAI study mat. as its good for AMA.

Padhuka is basically a good compilation of questions. Its like the practice manual. I am not saying that Padhuka is bad but basically its just a compilation of questions & AMA practice manual itself has a lot of questions. So, I am suggesting you to refer P.C.Tulsian/ICAI module for concepts & for practicing problems u can refer Padhuka or PM.

So, go for P.C.Tulsian + PM + Last 3-5 RTPs.

Depends.

if you are appearing for both groups i would recommend jb gupta.its short,simple and precise. have 50 odd questions for each chapter.

but make sure that is accompanied by manual and rtp.

only institute books

Study Material is the best for AMA, SFM and IDT. I would even suggest study material for all the subjects once you get used to the language used.

Then Practice Manual is the best for revision. PM has a good progression, starting with small basic sums and progressing to the most difficult questions that have been asked in the exam.
