    Hey guys,
    I'm thinking of buying a few revision books for next year and am wondering which are the best ones. The subjects I need them for are:
    Business
    Irish
    Biology
    German
    Geography
    Economics
    Maths

    Any help appreciated! :)

    Revise wise is the best for Biology, you don't even need to look at the main book. I got an A1 from this book alone. I'm not sure about the rest.

    I think that the new Less Stress are quite good in general - in particular for maths. Good layout, good explanation and samples. Personally I think that all Irish books are rubbish - as for art!

    Revise wise was very good for chemistry, it has a lot of definitions that Deccie the Mad Man (<3) forgot to put in Chemistry Live"

    They're bringing out a new Rapid Revision for Chemistry - the old one was really helpful, especially if you use Chemistry Live because all of the chapters line up with how they're laid out in the book. I would imagine the new Rapid Revision will have the new experiments in it too (they're changing a few for the 2015 exam!) because it's being brought out to accompany the new edition of Chemistry Live, which has all the updated material in it. I had Less Stress.. as well for Chemistry and it was super, but I don't know that it will be updated for the 2015 exam :)

    There are a number of good one's for Biology. Revise Wise is the best, but I don't think you could depend on it for an A1 necessarily. For Geography, Exam Skills by Sue Honan is golden.

    There is a less stress more success one out already. Not sure if it's much good.

    I have the maths less stress, in fact there are two which are 9.99 each. I like the fact that they have the steps laid out in a clear manner and are easy to use. Don't think there are any other books except the activity book with active maths.
