You can buy TAXMANN'S COST A/CING of Sir RAVI.M.KISHORE

Her you can find many problems from old question papers and the terms are clear.

I'm also new to the subject but now feeling not bad bcoz of this book.

You may go for P.C Tulsian. Presentation is really good and easy to understand with lots of questions for practice. Even i faced problems like you but this book helped me a lot.

You have to give fair amount of time to make an understanding of this subject. Once you develop understanding  it will also help u in Final.

thnx Lakshmi nd Dharmendra kumar

Go for Ashish Kalra's Book .... it has all concepts and plenty no. of questions for practice.

thnx guys for ur reply

what about B.M. Lall Nigam and I.C. Jain

Padhuka  is best..........

u can buy cost accounting problems & solutions by v.k.saxena and c.d.vashist....... because it includes all past years question papers problems with solutions... problems are given in simple methods only so u can easily understand it.... all the best

P C Tulsian is best book for practicals. Earlier in exams some problems came from this book. Even there are more practice problems. For theory part of costing you can refer the study module, which is explained in a simple manner and student friendly. If you are further interested, then i strongly suggest you to refer Jain and Narang Cost Accounting book for both theory part and practicals. But practical problems are less in this Jain book. Some more problems came directly from Jain book. So u decide now. All the best.
