Recommended Textbooks for Relativity: Practice Problems and Answers Included?

[Nervous]

I'm trying to find a textbook I can download that covers GR and SR and includes practice problems so I can test myself. Naturally, answers would need to be included so I can check my answers.

Well I don't know where are you from, but here in my country a good start for SR would be a high school manual, i'll study SR in the 12 grade and you can find problems there.After that or even along side that i would recommend Theory of Relativity for everyone written by Einstein himself(I hope i translated the title correctly).

Motionmountain vol.II Relativity has partial answers included.

PS here's a link to Einstein book "relativity" (regretfully it contains no exercises):

I don't know if there are problems and snwers, but why not go to the 'master' himself:

Einstein online:

I would go with Taylor/Wheeler's Spacetime physics for SR, and Schutz for GR.

I can recommend a book by one of my previous professors amazon link. It's part of the oxford masters series but don't let that intimidate you because it's definitely undergraduate level. It's a very good book and all or most answers are provided as far as I know.

Alternatively there's Hartle amazon link. While full solutions aren't included, there are a lot of examples in the book. And while it's meant as an undergraduate book, I still turned to it quite frequently when I took GR in grad school because explanations were so clear.
