    I did my Junior last year and I used a mix of Revise Wise and Less Stress More Success. Revise Wise is really good for French as it gives you loads of useful phrases for the letters/postcards/memos and has lists of vocab which actually came up in the comprehensions. I didn't get it for Irish but I'd say it's similar.

    I used Less Stress More Success for Science, Geography and Music and found them really helpful as they condense the massive Science and Geography courses just to what you need to know. There's also a shortcuts to success maps and photographs book that just deals with question 5 on the geog paper which comes up every year so thats an easy question to learn off and get full marks in.

    I didn't get one for Maths or history and I didn't do Home Ec or Religon. Hope that helps :)

    If you're doing a language -French in your case, deffinitely, I've less stress more success
    maths-revise wise, they're great
    english-rapid revision english(john scally) is the best book i could have bought this year :D i also have revise wise, the difference isn't big but this one has more examples, tips and i like the way ots written better its easier to remember.
    I also have science less stress more success but i wouldn't advise it, it has very little information, much less than I'd expect.
    I think that they're the ones you really need to get, other than that it depends on how do you find a particular subject, if you believe you need help they're usefull, I find revise wise better than less stress more success.
