Are the "get the points" revision books any good?

    There are so many to choose from revise wise to less stress more success which better for:

    geography (higher level)
    business (higher level)
    french (higher level)
    irish (higher level)

    Exam Skills Geography by Sue Honan is apparently brilliant.

    Not sure about the other three, use my own notes for them!

    Rapid Revision french seems good.

    In my LC, the only revision book I used for any subject was Exam Edge Physics which really was brilliant (included my own notes scrawled in the side of things), think there's one for Chemistry too which I never used so I dunno it's quality.

    The rest was notes with the textbook if I needed some extra info!

    The chemistry was handy, it was basically just a better laid out collection of the marking schemes which although it was good for revision, you couldn't use it to test your knowledge of something which hasn't come up which the physics one allowed you to do.

    Overall I never found the quick revision books that useful, that being said the subjects which I focused on didn't really favour that approach. For french I found that what we were learning in class was more than sufficient for preparation for the exam, and if you want some extra phrases and the like the internet was useful.
