For anyone who's finished all of their exams for their first year of college and finally noticing how beautiful life actually is, what are we going to do with our truck-load-full of revision notes right from the start of the year? I found myself neatly filing them today, with no idea why

[tooambitious]

Burn them!

Lol jk, I threw away past papers (which was the major thing for me because of my subjects) and kept all paper notes (which were minimal because I did a lot o stuff on the computer)

well A2s are quite synoptic, you'll need some of your stuff next year so keep it, throw things away at the end of A2s

Mine were all scrambled up, as I took them out when revising and didn't put them back in the folders. I therefore just grabbed them all and dumped them in a random box. I hope I don't have any retakes because it would be hell to sort them out.

I just keep it in seperate subject folders, and next year, i donate the work to junior college students I.e year 12's
OR give it to the subject teachers for reference
I throw away, notebooks and rough work i did at home though.

Keep them for the meantime, in case you need to do any resits. Recycle after results.

I know I won't be resitting, but I'm keeping mine in the attic. Maybe in twenty years' time I'll take a peek Got to feed the nostalgia I've done the same with all my books - there's room in the attic so why not?

Edit: Negs? Like... what!? I didn't say anything controversial at all!

I considered setting fire to mine, but I wouldn't recommend that incase you need to do any resits

[Monzystar]

I archived mine!! Life sure is a beauty!! now I just cant wait to do A2 and get it don and over with

[Hudzy]

I kept mine until results day, just in case.

[Preziosavita]

I threw away all of the past papers & notes made in school but I kept my CGP book for AS an my own made notes.

[Jake011268]

My girlfriend wants to study pretty much the same subjects as me next year so im just giving them all to her

Saves her writing them up, and as im a year higher i can teach her anyyyyyything she asks ;D

[niminimi]

Definitely keep them, in case you need to do resits next year but also because you'll need them for the synoptic questions at A2

[sammy-lou]

I threw away most of mine at the end of AS - big mistake, you will almost definitely need them for A2!

[Rizzy J]

keep them in case for resits, also you may need them for A2 depending on what subjects you're doing. ask the teacher what notes you need for a2 and put them in your a2 folder.

(this was from last year but...)
I kept all my books, sheets and work from over the year, but got rid of all my revision notes, as I knew that if I'd have to retake, I'd have to start revising again, so my old posters and cards wouldn't be as much use!
Then after I got my results and did some retakes, I put everything in a big box at the end of my bed for storage
I wouldn't throw anything useful away, as some specifications say that they can ask you anything from the A Level syllabus (AS & A2) so they'll be useful when revising for your A2s
(I had an Ethics exam the other day, and one of the questions was about applying ethical theories, which we learnt in AS, to an A2 topic)
But for now: relax, sleep, have fun & enjoy yourself while you can

Keep them. Put them in a box somewhere. You may come to want them next year, or at uni. Obviously you don't need to keep anything you can't read, or pages of maths questions etc. But really keep anything else.

Wait till you're second year.. :P

And definitely keep them!

[HalleStar]

Keep them safe, because you might need them for retakes.

I was thinking about doing this. However, it may lead to them doing less work if they already have my notes.

What do you think?
