Books for Multiple Choice Questions

Since UGC has changed the pattern and now asking only objective type questions.
I've observed that many friends of mine have good understanding of the subject who can explain the concept but when it comes to singling out the correct choice, they get confused and feel utterly helpless.
The real issue at the core of the problem is that they lack practice of solving multiple choice questions.
For that I would highly recommend Kaplan GRE Psychology book. This book has highly condensed quality material that would enrich your understanding. Moreover the best part is that it has practice sets at the end of each chapter and the questions are very good and their explanation is excellent.
The student of Hindi Medium can refer to AK Singh's Pratiyogita Manovigyan but be cautious while solving objective questions because many friends have reported that there are many errors in the answer key.
If you find Kaplan GRE Psychology to be tough then start from  CliffsAP Psychology. CliffsAP Psychology is easier than Kaplan GRE Psychology but can serve as a better starting point.

Books

To get selected for JRF you need to score very high and that would require an indepth study, therefore, each topic should be studied in great detail.

• If you have not done a serious study till now then read and reread Atkinson & Hilgard's Introduction to Psychology.
• For basic conceptual clarity do refer to NCERT books of Psychology.

• The most indispensable tool that is required is a dictionary of Psychology. Either Oxford or Penguin Dictionary of Psychology would suffice. Whenever you encounter a new concept, refer to the dictionary it will clarify that.

• The second unit in both papers is 'Learning Processes' for that I would recommend Mazur's Learning and Behavior.

• For personality consult either Schultz or Hall and Lindzey. The latter is better.

• To study the physiological bases of behaviour refer to Pinel's Biopsychology or Carlson's Foundations of Physiological Psychology.

• Matlin's book Cognition and  Sternberg's Cognitive Psychology give a detailed account of Perceptual Processes, Working Memory, Longterm Memory, Problem  Solving and Creativity.

• For Research Methodology, Measurement and Testing A K Singh's book on Research Methodology is a good one but it does not cover all the topics.

• Siegel's Nonparametric Statistics is one of the best for Nonparametric tests.

• In my view Hogg and Vaughan's Social Psychology is better than Baron and Byrne's Social Psychology because it provides rich theoretical material that would help in answering questions

I'll update this list later also.
