    I'm doing Maths, Further Maths, Psychology and Geography. Not really sure what I 'need' to buy regarding organisation (always been a weak point of mine). What notebooks would you recommend, what folders etc.

    Thanks.

    Hey, i've just started my AS's. My set-up at the moment is: 4 main folders which I keep at home, one for each subject.
    I keep an extra folder to take with me to school, a hole punch is vital as you get so many handouts and you need to file them. Buy some tabs from WHS smith or something and use them to seperate your subjects in your school folder.
    At the end of the week, take out the paper from your school folder and sort them into your 4 main folders at home. Hope this kinda helps!

    You should consider buying a 'pukka pad' they are amazing. They are absolute quality, they have 5 coloured dividers (1 for each subject, I used the last page for rough work) with quality pages that can be pulled out easily etc.
