Alright, So I'm in 11th Currently and plan to give IAT and NEST in 2028, But I have immense confusion over the matter I must use in order to prepare. I have read mixed reviews over Sciastra's Mastering Series and IAT Mocks but still plan to purchase them, Though I better take a second opinion due to the sheer cost of all 9 books. How much did they help you, and would you recommend it, If not, what other sources shall I refer?

Thank you for reading and your time, It'll be a huge help if you share your thoughts.....

Heartiest Greeting to y'all, I'm in 11th Grade with PCM and Plan to join an IISER to make a career in theoretical physics. With that, I need recommendations for books to prepare with as I have failed to find any relevant information, From Mastering series by Sciastra to Blackbook by Pankaj Joshi, All I have gathered is Confusion. Ergo, Here I am, Pleading to my seniors for help, If you have any advice over how to prepare, books, courses(preferably free as i am broke), or anything related, Please mention it. And just to provide additional information, I am planning to give NEST, ISI CMI and JEE(mains/Advanced) as contingencies and INSPIRE SHE scholarship.

Thanks for reading, It'll be great to hear your thoughts...

Also apologies if I added the wrong flair, First post of my life...
