    I heard the "less stress; more success" books are quite helpful, I might go ahead and get myself some.

    Anyone else care to share some tips/sites/anything.

    I wouldn't go spending loads on 'less stress' books if I were you, most of them aren't great. There's no one company that does a whole line of brilliant revision books, you need to look around and figure out what company does which subject best. As a general rule with revision books, you should look for the one that's written by the same author as the main textbook.

    And there's a thread here with links to leaving cert related sites: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2054983277

    Rapid Revision HL maths is fantastic! you can also get a book called "MathsBank" which is a book of questions arranged by topics into a parts, b parts and c parts of LC questions. Also has a lot of sample papers in it!

    Rapid Revision for Business is very good. Revise Wise for Geography is also very good.

    Yeah, Rapid Revision Chemistry is great. However, just make sure you understand the source material first before using it. Like all good revision books, it's a supplement to the text book, not a replacement.

    For Accounting revise wise is pretty good, although I haven't really looked at the other ones. My teacher told us that there were a lot of mistakes in the Rapid Revision Accounting.

    I found Less Stress More Success accounting quite useless! The author did everything a different way from my teacher, and in my opinion, and much more difficult way than my teacher.

    It actually reads more like an SEC marking scheme than a revision book!
