For high school students looking to enhance their problem-solving skills, Krotov's book is recommended, but it may require sacrificing time spent on other resources like Irodov. Jaan Kalda's problem sheets are highlighted as an excellent alternative for high school-level problem solving, providing valuable practice and challenges that align well with the needs of students aiming to improve their skills. These resources are considered effective for developing a deeper understanding of concepts and tackling non-routine problems.
