What do I NEED for Sixth Form?

I have a lever arch for each subject & a small ring binder for each subject, with a notebook. what else do I need? I'm taking History, Economics, Psychology & Photography, what sort of things do i need?
I don't want to buy things like colouring pencils if I don't need them, likewise I don't want to not buy something and need it as we don't have any stationery stores in my town and they're all a drive away, and I don't drive. So what sort of things will I need that I wouldn't think to buy?

Some supermarkets like ASDA and Tesco do back to school things so it's worth having a look in there, they literally have everything you'll need in there like memory sticks, stationery etc! Good luck

Highlighter and memory stick, that's it, really don't need anything that specific

Tbh I'd argue that memory sticks aren't too needed with Google Drive and other online fileshares. I lost my faith in memory sticks years ago :no:

Lots of students fid those foolscap plastic zip up wallets useful - you can put a pad of paper and a textbook in. Get one for each subject and then you don't forget anything and it's easy to pack :smile:

Dont know what your school provides but I used:
file pads
coloured pens for notes
highlighters
homework diary
calculator
and a lot of vodka
For Economics: You'll definitely need a calculator, I did economics this year and used a calculator in the exam.
For Photography: Get a USB stick, it makes printing out work so much easier!

Our school only gives textbooks, and apparently not even that is a given
