    Here's my picks:

    Physics - exam edge

    Chemistry - rapid revision + exam edge

    Accounting - revise wise

    English - Keynotes

    Maths - rapid revision

    All pretty good from my experience, especially the exam edge one for physics, that's getting me my A1!

    I have Exam Edge for Physics although I think it's too late for me to get an A1 now :p

    For Biology, I have "Essential Exam Revision" by Sarah Dilleen/Folens. Someone already mentioned it I think. It does have a few little mistakes but overall I find very helpful. Haven't used my textbook in ages.

    For Art History I'd advise everyone to get the Less Stress More Success revision book. I'm pretty sure it's actually the only revision book for the subject, but it is honestly excellent. I got it before the Mocks and I swear to God, it was a lifesaver. I viewed my Art History paper and I got a B1 (I only started studying for the exam before the Mocks, if I'd gotten the book earlier and made more of an effort I might've done better :P), and I can easily say that without LSMS, I wouldn't have gotten that grade at all. My Art teacher was really bad for the history part of the course, so I really needed all the help that I could get.

    For Geography, Exam Skills is all you need! It is so amazing :L I also had LSMS for it too and did get a few things from it, but it's definitely not necessary.


    For English, I would most definitely say Key Notes! Brilliant little book!

    In my experience the less stress books are the weakest of all the revision books! but for english i would recommend you get a book, English Keynotes, its published every year for that exam year and has the poets that are on covered and a few of the more common texts and the Shakespearian play that is being examined! I got an A1 in english, and this is about the only revision book i even glanced at for english!

    I can't do english, the LC paper feels like a foreign language to me! But I bought this book in the first year of fifth and it's all I look at and I get the highest grades in the class!
