    I got a really big box (so big there is no way I can carry it) and put all my stuff in there, since I have a younger sister and she needs the stuff

    I burnt all my leftover GCSE notes last year, it's really quite satisfying to watch it go, you'd never get that kind of satisfaction from just putting them in a recycling bin

    Take it from someone whose just finished his A-Levels: sacrificially burning it all is the best option

    I've got 3 bags full of paper and past exam papers waiting to be burned at next weeks bonfire. My books however I'll probably keep - I would like to look back on prehaps my Latin and English set texts

    10 weeks to do whatever I like. Anyone got any plans? :')

    I've just got this image of this rite-of-spring-style dance around this pile of burning books...too much music GCSE o.O

    Giving textbooks back to the school. Burning all the notes I've made that I won't need for A Level
    I never thought of that! Chemistry notes here I come

    Keeping the textbooks I've bought and burning all the notes, exercise books, cue cards and mind maps that have accumulated in my room over the past two years.

    Anyways, I'm doing psychology, biology, chemistry and sociology/history

    You stomp on it, rip it up and then recycle it

    Music GCSE?? Surely you don't need a lot of notes for that?? I didn't..What board did you do? I did WJEC, so no need to 'study' a piece throughout the year or whatever...
    I was referring to the "Sacrificially burning" thing he/she was talking about :L

    Yeah we didn't do much note-taking in GCSE music either - I did OCR.:bl:

    Well as soon as all my exams are finished, I will have a mass clear out of my room. I will only be keeping some stuff for subjects I am taking next year, especially the mass of German sheets I have gathered over the past few years!

    My beautiful pile of revision is just there...in the middle of my room. I can't bring myself to throw it all away, not sure why as I have never felt so ecstatic to finish Maths and Physics. They ruined my teenagers years

    I had tons for music but I did it on Edexcel. We had to study 12 set works in so much detail and the workload was a lot but it was still a fun course
