Leaving Cert Revision

Fiona1993

I'm a leaving cert student and I've heard great heard very good reports of an English revision book, "English Key Notes" I just wanted to know does anyone know who the author is? I can't seem to find this book anywhere!! Also, if anyone knows which of these three revision books are worth the fortune they are : Revise Wise, Less Stress More Success or Rapid Revision. I plan on buying one of them for Geography, Spanish, Home Ec and Biology. I just have no idea which brand is the best. I really would appreciate any feedback. Thanks, Fiona

I'm sorry to say, but Key Notes 2011 in no longer in stock, Key Notes 2012 is being published now! Check around on ebay/amazon/other sites though, it's really a great book and it'd be fantastic if you could get your hands on it.
Get Revise Wise for Biology, and I'm not sure about the rest, but steer clear of Less Stress, More Success in general. They're supposed to be awful.

Exam skills geography by Sue Honan.
Has all the long questions you need & marking schemes!

English revision books are fairly bad except key notes 2011,which would be hard to find unless you order it online.

I don't do them other subjects but I hear rapid revision is what most of the teachers use for Biology.

Get it. I have it. It's good. It gives you examples and for the poetry alone, it's worth it's weight in gold.

It's got absolutely everything you need for paper 2 with lots of sample answers. Well worth it if you're lucky enough to get your hands on it.

It's absolutely excellent! It's the comparative, Hamlet and poems. Really, really worth getting. It's very reasonable..around 14 euro. Alot of teachers take most of their notes on the comparative and Hamlet from this book.
