    Some are really good like The french intensive 10 week plan by cian hogan. thats really good, and the less stress home ec one is good too. But for some like biology books they just cut out 2 much info. My maths teacher says there a waste of money but i suppose it whats one ya get!

    The history less stress more success revision book is fantastic. Taught me more in 3 weeks than my teacher did in two years.

    Essential Revision Guide to LC Maths by Folens is excellent... goes through everything you need to know for Higher Level paper one and two in 135 pages!! It saved me this week... trying to cram with two textbooks is a waste of time.

    Don't expect to be able to get an A by just going on that book. In fact, you'd be lucky to get a high C with the info in it.

    Some of them are good, if you are doing hons irish and have fiuntas 2, i'd just buy the revisewise irish book cos its just fiuntas 2 condensed! (same guy writes both books)

    also it seems to me with the new revisewise books coming, G&M just put a new cover on most of the less stress and brought out a few new shortcuts to success books.

    Less Stress more success are pretty crap to be honest. Their material is everywhere.
    Rapid Revision is about the best.
    Revise Wise - I got the french book its quite good, although the Irish one was crap as it was the same material as Fiuntas. We're not that dumb like!

    To be honest, I am not impressed by any of them, they are all "money spinners" designed to cash in on people just like grinds etc.

    i would stay away from the less stress ones, as they have no structure whatsoever. revise wise are excellent, esp. higher level maths p1 and p2.

    Yep, just another textbook basically. Stick with your class notes or just get grinds if your teacher is useless.
