Stationary items for A- Levels

What are the necessary stationary items needed for A-levels. My subjects are Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics ?

You'll need three notebooks, one for each subject. don't make the mistake I did and put all your work in one notebook, that gets unorganized fast

Additionally, you'll need a Casio FX 991EX calculator at least (Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Casio-Fx-991ex-Scientific-Calculator-991/dp/B011UK5DGY)
other calculators may have what you need but it's best not to risk that and go for the one which has everything you'll need for maths. It also has number-base converters which come in handy when you cover binary and hex in CS.

Other than that, just your usual high school stationary should be fine (pens, pencils, highlighers, ruler, etc.)

3 folders or notebooks to organise work, youll definitely need a solid calculator, id agree with Cheemgles suggestion of the casio fx 991ex! highly recommend highlighters, very useful when looking back on work or for helping get a good grasp of exam questions! a good maths kit (compass, protractor, etc..., these are sold at most shops), plenty of pens and pencils and you should be good!
Stationery, with an 'e'. With an 'a', means 'not moving'.
