Organisation system for AS levels?

Ring binder for each subject. You'll need notes from previous lessons to refer to back to throughout the year. Make sure you get some dividers to split it up by topic and keep the folders organised and neat!

Also, get an A4 notebook with pre hole-punch pages and perforated so it's easy to remove and put in your ring binder. You don't need one per subject but always have a spare at home for when you're close to running out of paper! It's easier to carry one round and tear pages out to put in the right folder

Another thing to do is use frees to do homework cos then you'll have more free time at home. It helps though I barely did it and it's do tempting to do nothing when around your friends, so it may be an idea to sit away from them when doing it! Also do homework the day you get it when you can! Helps you keep on top of things.

I've just finished Year 12 so if you have any questions just ask! What subjects are you doing?

Thank you, that is really helpful, I hadn't thought about the paper. How were your AS results? And I am doing four out of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology and History, which four, I am not sure yet though.

I had AAAB in maths, geography, environmental studies and French respectively (though annoyed as my B was 4 UMS off an A :/). I dropped Environmental after the may half term though, sooooo not carrying on with that D:

Your choices sound good! To decide, bear in mind the kind of course you may be interested in if you want to go to uni as some have specific subjects they want you to have done, but also do something you'll enjoy, it's crappy when you hate the subject!

I'm starting my AS in September too! I've bought 4 lever arch files (one for each subject) to keep at home and with dividers for each unit. Then I've got one ring binder that I will take with me to school with dividers for each subject. I will use it to store any handouts given by the teachers and then at the end of the week I will transfer those to lever arch files at home. And then I've got notebook for each subject in which I will make class notes. Anyway I hope it will work

That sounds good, not carrying too much around, I am thinking about what would happen if i need to refer to things from weeks ago if that would work, I might try it out though.

I hope the class notes in notebooks that I will always have with me will be enough to refer back to work from weeks ago, when I don't have the handouts.
