DEAR Aspirant,
NCERT is the best book to start your preparation. Make sure to solve it completely first and then move to some refresher you would prefer for your school like SL ARORA for PHYSICS which even has a comptetion section.
Once you are done with all that start solving previous year papers because you would get to know the pattern…
There are n number of books available for jee main so ,which book is not important but how you study is likely to have a greater impact.
In my way :
Books which I used during my times are:-
Maths:- Cennage Learning, NCERT
Physics:- Cennage Learning, NCERT
Physical Chemistry:- NCERT
Inorganic Chemistry:- JD Lee, NCERT
Organic Chemistry:- SN Sanyal, NCERT
Those books were really helpful for me during my preparation days.
Best of luck.
