Re: What should I do with my A level notes?Almost as soon as I got home from my last exam, upon realising I had nothing to do, I sorted through a huge pile of notes from the last two or three years and got rid of two of the Sainsbury's bags for life full of pure paper, mostly made up of handouts and rough class notes that were never filed properly.
I have, however, kept all of my revision notes from AS and A2 (about 600 pages of plain notes in all) as they sum up all of my A-level courses in the briefest way possible and are essentially just the textbooks condensed and written in my own words. I've squashed them all into one folder so I can refer back to them if I ever need them and so they don't take up to much space. They may be of some small use at university, particularly my chemistry and physics notes as I'm hoping to study chemistry and will certainly need reminding of a few basic principles in the first year. -

Re: What should I do with my A level notes?i did my a-levels years ago - all my books and notes all the way back to year 7 are in the loft. If you have the space, keep it!(Original post by Alexander94)
I have 6 curver boxes, and a bookcase full of A level notes, what do people plan to do with theirs?

Re: What should I do with my A level notes?Have you heard of people doing that? If so, that is genius!!(Original post by CJG21)
After results, if you are not going to do resits, what about selling them on ebay? I'm sure there are lazy people who would buy them from you. -

Re: What should I do with my A level notes?I love this! Unfortunately I am lazy, so I write in my own version of a shorthand type thing, so unless people have a crazy brain they wont be much use(Original post by CJG21)

Re: What should I do with my A level notes?that sucks?(Original post by Alexander94)
Unfortunately my room is a loft, and I won't have a room come september, if I can't take it to uni it goes in the bin!. Can't you put it in your parents garage/spare room or something? It'd be such a shame binning it

Re: What should I do with my A level notes?You could always pass them on/sell them.
I burnt mine, but not because I just felt like burning them; we spent a couple of weeks teaching Cubs, Scouts, and new Explorers how to light fires, and it made life a bit easier!
Recycled the rest. My handwriting's too poor for anyone to read. -

Re: What should I do with my A level notes?Keep them just incase.
I plan to keep my text books that will relate to my course though. I know for first year especially some things I have done for a level will be taught, particularly for people who didn't take the subjects at a level.
And I also don't know how stupid I may become after the summer -

Re: What should I do with my A level notes?I shredded and ripped mine up when I left. I knew I had no intention of resitting whatever the results.
My brain had already checked out weeks before the exams had started... most of my notes for Eng Lit had the title and date and about a sentence that went "Brookes wrote this poem in 1915 to express his Jesus Christ this is boring. Why did they pick the slowest reader in the group to read. Ring bell, ring. I hate Eng Lit. I want to go home already. Oh my God, NO ONE CARES." <- Likely about the over-opinionated girl who had a paragraph of thought about everything.
And then a bunch of doodles of unamused stick people and other nonsense.
