You could possibly get the solutions to the exam papers published by the EEC for construction,also the new construction book architectural techonlogy is good,both have sufficient notes in order to do well in construction

For geography the LSMS book is alright not the best.... the physical stuff is good in it.
THe best in my opinion for geography is Focus Geography by mentor. its really good [especially for the european/reg development etc.] it gives sample answers which ya can learn off and alter to fit question you get.
I havent found any good books for the other subjects u've mentioned but i'll b lookin here for other peoples opinions!!!

I personally think the 'Rapid Revision' series is better than the 'Less Stress More Success' series - but they're harder to get your mitts on

Having been there, the best thing to do is cog notes off good classmates (unless you have your own), sit down with them, and the textbooks, and write out your own revision notes - aside from providing you with concise revision stuffs for before your LC, they'll also help get the stuff into your head while reading it over and writing it down!

It's ok. Must admit I learned one of the essays on Hopkins straight out of it and threw it down in the LC. Got an A for that bit.

Personally though, I don't think revision books for English are what you need at this stage, at least for paper 2. Just get some essays together for poetry, comparitive and the main character in the single text. do steal an A grade essay for each of these and get familiar with them.

BTW, if you want my copy of LSMS English for last year I'll gladly sell it for a fiver or so. I live in Raheny.
