    I was just about to start a thread on this :) I need some of these books but i was wondering which books are better for each subject, i know opinions will vary but that can be expected.

    the less stress books in geography, history and biology are very helpful in my opinion.

    also, the maths ones covers the course concisely with many worked answers and make it a little less incomprehensible for me at least.

    Don't get the Art History one it's rubbish. French is grand, quite handy.

    The Irish one is borderline useful (a few bits of interesting vocab and the pieces for the oral). The English one is dire. Don't buy either, borrow them if you must look at them.

    the geog one is brilliant the art history onejust gives loads of useless information and focuses on the more irrelevant stuff. rapid revision for french is prob ther best imo

    The books are excellent and a great help. Especially Maths and French. Don't want to sound preachy but they are short on the actual learning bit. This means that they do require an effort from you to learn the text. When this is done for any particular section of a subject, then the books come into their own with good demonatration of how answers are worked through, expecially ones where a "trick" is required. Together with an effort at studying the text :cool: they are surefire.

    Rapid revision are better bullets points rather than the less stress which is like reading a text book
