    Hello guys, I recently bought the revise wise for science and it is quiet good.
    I planned on using it to cover the course from here until the junior cert bu today I asked my science teacher would I be ok just to use the Revise Wise and she said I wouldn't as there is some incorret information.
    Is this true ?

    I've the Essentials Unfolded. It's excellent. It's extremely to the point and concise. I've never used Revise Wise Science, but I have for other subjects and I found them to be quite good.

    The syllabus is what you should use to 'cover' the course.

    I'm using it and I think it's excellent!
    I found one or two errors but i think the vast majority of the info is correct , and it made it really easy to learn as well.

    It's more of a booklet really.
    Anything in the syllabus can be asked, no matter whether it has never come up before or not.
    JC Revised Science syllabus (.pdf file)

    Have a read of a recent Chief Examiner's report (.pdf file) to see the common errors people make.
