It's a bigger version of a normal ringbinder file.

The correct term is a lever arch file and this is due to the binding structure being, literally, a metal arch that is opened and closed by a lever mechanism that is operated manually. The excitement of it all is almost too much to bear! :rolleyes:

Oh I *love* stationary!!

I have a really cute partners pencil case with different coloured pens to make my notes a bit more readable. As well as a few black bics (my perfect exam pen!), erm ruler, pink mini hole puncher, pencil etc etc...and tippex!!
I'm a bit of a girly girl so have the obligatory fluffy pen from paper chase.
I have a folder for each module or sub module then I also buy a huge file for each subject which I decant notes into as we finish module (My big folders also contain past papers etc). The folders are are in loads of different shades of pink etc, really bright colours to cheer me up!

I also use loads and loads of bright dividers, make it seem more manageable and breaks it down a bit!

I buy loads of tesco value pads for regurgitating notes on when revising (I got through about 4 of these when revising for AS!). Day to day I bring to college a good quality lined, punched paper pad, I can't have cheap paper because I press on my pen really hard so the paper often rips, or just gets tatty!

So if I have three lessons I'll bring my college diary, 3 folders, pencil case, note pad and relevant text books. no wonder my shoulder hurts!
