purchase understanding psychology by Fieldman and psychology by Spencer A. Rathus.

both are good. u may purchase both of these books or any one of these.

then put syllabus before u and mark those chapters which are frequently being questioned in the exam. still if u face any difficulty then ask when u have books before u.

its just like u have to tell in brief about various hormones, their sites of production and action. like thyroid stimulation hormone TSH. site of production is interior pituitry and site of action is thyroid gland. function is to raise production of thyroxin, triidothyronine, etc.

i mean whether to write general functions of hormones or specific/gland wise??
