I converted all my class and lecture notes into plastic wallets and then into folders to keep them neat. I learnt throughout the year, so when it came to revision, I bought a large notepad and went through everything and made a table of everything I had covered i.e.
French:
que, qui, ou
rooms in the house
on holiday
building questions etc.
German:
Passive
etc etc etc
Then crossed off the ones I knew from revision and what was remaining, I got used said notebook for revision, instead of doing it twice throughout the year.
Equally, you could just do page numbers in the folder and do up a contents page so come to revision you know where everything is.

Thank you, very helpful
Today I bought 3 of the Stabilo point 88 fineliners (pack of 10) for £6.00 DDDD and a pack of four (different colours) fine sharpies for £2.75 and a pack of vball liquid ink rollerballs for £3.50 I thought it was blue ink but to my delight they were black ink Yay for Tescos!
On a related note, anyone know where I can get narrow ruled refill pads that are good value? Tescos didn't have any

Been stalking this thread for ages. So far I have staedtler (sp??) fine-liner coloured pens and the Dodo Acad Pad planner. Now time for the notepads, refill pads and pens
How are you finding the Dodo Acad Pad? I had my eye on that!

How did you manage that?
I used a whole forest of paper when I was revising because I kept writing notes and then throwing them away and writing them out from memory and making posters and writing out points and then I used 2 A5 notebooks and a whole pack of cue cards just for RS.Original post by Lostwithoutyou

Here's the one I gotI was just about to cry at how cheap it was until I realised it isn't the Ryamn's narrow ruled paper I usually buy! I want to go and get it because I can't resist special offers but I can't be bothered to go!

They don't do narrow ruled paper though do they?
I always get the premium Ryman paper which is why I was so shocked at how cheap it was!
Thanks for the rep, whoever it was!
I can't believe this thread is so popular.

You see I want a decent paper quality :P But the 3 for 2 is tempting. How is the ryman to write on? And do Oxford do the narrow ruled paper? (And where may I buy it from if they do?)

I don't really care about wide or narrow ruled paper. I just like good quality thick paper. There's 5 for £13 on amazon which I think is very reasonable.

I used a whole forest of paper when I was revising because I kept writing notes and then throwing them away and writing them out from memory and making posters and writing out points and then I used 2 A5 notebooks and a whole pack of cue cards just for RS.I make notes in two pads throughout the year and then forget about them until revision. Then, I combine all important info from notes/lectures/readings/etc to form one revision bible, then just work from that. In total I only use up four pads a year.
A-levels were pretty much the same but with even less paper. For RS I think I had perhaps five A4 pages of revision notes per module? The idea is to reduce revision notes to just a word that triggers an entire chain of concepts, arguments, counterarguments, etc.
I find posters, cue cards, etc. a waste of effort but obviously people have different preferred methods. The only time I created a mindmap was when I had to condense about fifty overlapping paragraphs from ten articles into one stream of points.

I usually use WH Smith paper but I got this, regretting it now that people say its crap to write on!

It's probably better than WHSmith paper!
It's not that crap, don't worry. In fact, the paper I got from staples is only 5 GSM better so we can write on 'crap' paper together! You can get hole reinforcers to stop the holes from tearing up. It's just that it's not particularily good quality. 90 GSM is the best I've seen (Oxford) and I think the one I get from Rymans is around 80 GSM. Don't worry about it, it's not the glorified toilet paper you get from Wilkinsons! We all seem rather... obsessive on this thread hahahttp://www.amazon.co.uk/Cambridge-Refill-Headbound-Punched-E76794/dp/B000I5ZJKS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315857839&sr=8-1
Cambridge do narrow ruled paper. I always knew I preferred it to Oxford for a reason... *cough* Never been to Oxford *cough*
Ah... 70 GSM.

I already have a pad of the wide ruled of this :O I bought them on offer 2 for £4 (I got four and only have one left) I'd completely forgotten about them, but yeah I'll totally get this, thank you
I always liked writing on the ones I had and used them for my A levels. Since its on offer, its definately worth it 
i went and got one of the Palgrave student planner 2011-12 diary's today figured it looked good enough to get, still have to acquire all my supplies for this year stationery wise so thats a work in progress
