Sixth form folders?

So im starting sixth form in september, but I'm just a little confused about the folder system. If I have three subject folders, one for each subject, do I also need a day folder for each subject? Because if I only have one day folder, but have two different subjects in one day, how would I organise everything? Also, what kind of folders would be recommended? Thank you :smile:

What worked for me was having three big folders (leaver arch folders) for each subject at home and one smaller day folder (ring binder) for everything with dividers separating each subject to take into school every day. I’d keep a few lessons worth of work for each subject in the day folder so that it was easy to keep track of recent homework and look back at recent content. When the folder got too full (and heavy) I’d move some of the earlier lessons into the bigger subject folders. That was my system at least, you’ll probably find what works for you as you get into the school routine :smile:
