What's to explain?

As Kuja said just A4 lined paper that isn't attached to anything you can then store them in a folder or organise however you want just don't lose them.

Well alot of people at my school have taken up looseleaf this year but I'm going for the combo (with everything in the folder). I do like the convenience of having loose leaf, but books just feel neater and better organised to me.

Legal Studies & Economics - Binder A4 in
English Ext and English Advanced - Perforated Lecture Pad
Math - A4 Grid Binder
V.A. - Loose Leaf (with content written into V.A.P.D. at a later date)

i like loose leaf. means u don't have 2 carry your whole yr's worth of work every day. i like 2 get a display book thingy (u know, they're like a book with 20 plastic pages) and use each plastic page for a subject. when i get home, i stick those papers into the real folders, which are plastic 2 ring binders with zippers. i'm terrible with remembering to bring my books, so just having 2 remember to bring paper, and then deal with it when i get home, is better 4 me

some subjects require looseleaf, some require exc books. just do what suits your style and it should all work out in the end. Good luck :)

I did loose leaf in year 11, i was able to organise them appropriately, but it just got a bit messy looking, i wasnt writing neatly, ect. So now im on books, it does work alot better, though loose leafs are good for study notes and things, you can add and subtract pages and information easily.

loose leafs all the way!! as Tasho said, easier to add stuff. I've only just started using loose leaf for maths instead of the grid book ... and I really like it. It's great to do homework so you can just add it to your folder and also if you get problems wrong and want to do them later you can just add them...

we get HEAPS of sheets so it's just easier to have a folder otherwise my book would result in a complete mess!

Adv Maths - Notes in class exercise book & Exercises and questions book
English (Adv, Ext 1, Ext 2), Legal Studies & Modern History (and Ext) - Exercise book in class & Display folder for all of the sheets

I think you need exercise books and folders for class, although looseleaf is good for notes at home...

A4 Folder + dividers + ONE lecture/note pad and a 4 ring hole punch for at home = WIN.

I don't understand why anyone wants to carry up to 192 x 6 = 1152 sheets around with them every day, when they may be mostly blank.

At home you can keep a folder (ring binder) for each subject to dump old shit in as your school folder fills up. It's easy as. You can also re-order your work, or put something in that you missed, without having the worry of your book out of order, etc.

do you hold such a view in seriousness? consider the greats of times gone by, those of science, mathematics, and literature; most of said greats were forced to keep their discoveries unknown until late in their lives, or even until their death. those who didn't may have been persecuted by the conformist, "minds think alike" Church (at the time it would have been the Catholic Church).
Holy shit hahahahaahaha. Have you by any chance heard of the word 'idiom'?

this year i want to keep notes for all my subjects in 1 folder or maybe 2 or 3. less stuff to carry, no unused pages. my plan is to be more consistent with note making using my computer

Books. Neater.

Year 12:

Folders for each subject. Books placed into folder. Hole puncher pivotal for system's success.

Home: Folders for notes for each subject. Loose leaf paper and print-outs put into that. Hole puncher pivotal for system's success.

Dividers: Need lots.

I sound like a bot.

yes, although it's an interesting to note that, should it be taken literally, it's untrue.
Yep, that's why it's an idiom babe.
