    English - Dont look at it much.
    Maths - Very good. (Im doing pass, and my friends doing Honours and find the Honours very good also).
    Home Ec - Tough enough.
    Geogrpahy - Great for Physical Geog and Maps.

    There is none for German/Const./Computers.

    I use Geography the most, then Maths..

    There is a great geography revision book
    its called Focus on Geography I think
    I would reccommend anything by Mentor Books, I think they are way better then those "less stress more success" ones

    I know some people don't even get these books and just work off notes. So i'm not sure if these are revision books or what but they are quite small anyway.

    New Aspects 1 - (O.S Map and Photo) Educational Company
    New Aspects 2 - (Regional Question) Educational Company (William MacNamara, Brian O Cinneide)

    I have a few of the 'less stress more success' ones, hardly ever look at them. Physics is sh**e, French is occassionally useful but probably not worth buying, and the Maths ones I don't use but loads of people in my class find them really helpful, I just haven't gotten around to looking at them.

    Its not a revision book its for the new Geography Course as far as I know.

    We use the old aspects for a bit of the regional geography but its ****. We are given sample answers instead!

    Picked up a few of the 'less stress....' books, not impressed with them. I'm sure they'll give some help just not as much as i thought maybe. Geography one was brutal anyway, didnt bother getting that. Haven't really taken a proper look at them though.

    Definitely agree the "Focus on Geography" book gives great help with sample answers, I found it particularly helpful with the OS question (but it could be because I really didn't have a clue about it.......).

    Someone said the rapid revision Biology HL book is good, and apart from a few small flaws (not enough detail in plant and animal cell etc.) I would tend to agree although I haven't seen the Less Stress More Success one

    I found the Less Stress More Success Economics book quite good as well - lots of extra info if you are looking for a high grade, and lots of revision excercises n stuff with answers.

    The Less Stress More Success Irish HL is really dire - don't even think about buying it, seriously the textbook is much better

    em, thats all I can remember at the moment.........brain gone mushy mushy after mocks...........

    :)
