AS Level Organisation

I was wondering how many ring binders I should purchase to store work and to transport to/from school? I am doing 4 subjects (Maths, FM, Chemistry and Physics). Should I buy a large folder for each subject and leave them at home, only using a separate folder to transport my work from school or should I buy 3 25mm ring binders and take them every day? Also, which ring system - 2 ring or 4 ring - is more convenient for sixth form?

Hi there, I have just finished my AS levels and thought I would give you what I took during the year. I took biology, chemistry, physics and maths, and I think I bought about 2/3 lever arch files, and 1 small ring binder. I used 2 ring since it was easier for most hole punches. When I got to school, I was actually told we would be doing our maths in books, so I only needed 3 folders, I initially started with the two big lever arch files for chem and bio, and the small ring binder for physics. I personally stuck with these throughout the year, and brought them in each time I had a lesson (it got quite annoying in the end because they got very heavy). I didn't actually have much physics work throughout the year so only needed the ringbinder. I did however have a friend who just had one lever arch and took that to school with all her work for the day, but she did find that if the teacher was to go back on a topic she was missing her work and had to copy up later. Overall, I would probably start by buying a couple of each, as you can always buy more later, and even store revision notes in them. Sorry this is long, and I hope it helps you a bit
