Yes, it is always advisable to refer to at least two books for each section while preparing for the NMAT exam. This is helpful as candidates get a chance to compare the contents of more than one book. In addition, the language of books also matter. While person A might find Book 1 over Book 2 to be having a language simple to comprehend, person B may find Book 2 to be easier than Book 1. Additionally, candidates get a chance to cover more question variety from the wide range of practise material available with an extra book for preparation.
