I'm self-studying for IREX now using Bob Tait's book which seems to cover everything I need to know from the Regs/Orders.
Does anyone recommend actually buying them or saving my cash for the 6 pack afterwards?
Mate, you borrow them!! and make sure they're well tabbed. There are just to many permutations WRT whacko questions they may ask - DON'T MEMORISE them all, just know where to find them - FAST! and make sure they're all ammended up to date.
