    A Gift to the BOS Community

    Hey, I was just wondering, are the subjects up there the only ones you have access to atm? Was keen for Legal papers, but your papers for 2U, 3U and 4U saved my life #winning (Curious, how did you get access to all of them in the first place?)

    Binders

    I have an individual binder for each, and inside is a workbook and plastic sleeve. I don't know what I'm going to do notes wise; I may buy lots of loose-leaf and have a separate study binder at home. Do you guys put study and in class notes in different folders?

    How much hours are you studying a day?

    I study for Chem and MX1/MT throughout the term, and the rest towards exam time (3wk before). They are my two hardest subjects, so it kinda makes sense?

    Don't use too much sophisticated langage, but it really depends how your cohort/class is. If they are all semi-intelligent and you have a teacher that likes you/you like, then use language that you feel comfortable with. If you don't have a particularly good relationship with the teacher, or...
