Organisation

Hi, thank you!!
Would you recommend a day folder organisation or notebooks then rip them out?

Oops I meant a notebook for each of the 3 subjects, not 3 notebooks per subject🤣🤣

Hi @S_stud3nt,

Back when I was doing my a-levels, I took three notebooks with me (one for each subject) and took a couple of the plastic wallets with the snap button on which I then used to hold any loose documents from in class. Then at home I had separate folders with most being lever arch due to the amount of paper provided. I found this the best way for myself and also limited how much was in my bag and how heavy it was.

However I know a lot of people used day folders however I found this unnecessary for myself and would confuse me. If you were doing this you would need quite a lot of plastic wallets as the holes that would allow you to put the paper in a folder tear easily especially if you are flipping back and forth.

Hope that helps, let me know if there are any other questions! :smile:

Thank you so much this is really helpful! Yes I agree the whole day folder idea confuses me and I think having lots of work on loose sheets of paper would stress me out!
So with your notebooks would you tear the pages out and file them in the folders at home once u finished a topic?

Genuinely, whatever works for you! There is no right or wrong way and try not to stress over it too much. It's likely that after a few weeks, and depending how your modules are taught, your methods will change! Mine used to be different for every module, purely because of how they were taught :smile:

No I had ring binder notebooks and just made sure I did like a title page per topic that was covered. My folders just held any documents provided in class that weren't required day to day.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have anymore questions :smile:

I did geography (two notebooks for this so kinda one per year but I do have small handwriting so bare that in mind ahah), computer science (I think I had one for this and that was mainly for any notes or things I really needed to remember such as the way a certain calculation was done or if there was anything I didn't understand I wrote it a way I could), applied science (one or two from memory we did have to write quite a lot of notes in this as it was a BTEC). Lastly I did core maths for a year and I would say I filled up a maths exercise book this could include classwork and work I completed myself such as revision however a lot of the time we were given booklets to complete.

Hope that helps, let me know if there is anything else :smile:
