[PenelopeK]

how should i organise my folders and notes? put each subject in a different folder or one big folder? put my notes in plastic sleeves? does anyone have any effective ways to organise?

Mine are all in one big lever arch folder, with dividers for each subject, and each subject is colour coded according to their divider...and then i have the same colour post it notes dividing up the modules of the different subjects...seems to work for me. I like colours. Colours are great. The brighter the better.

try studying in different way, then you can decide what works for you. Everyone studies differently.

I colour code my notes.

Highlight a lot - it'll keep things interesting

and keep your notes in separate places, so things dont get lost or confused

I use A4 books and ring binders, 1/ because the page is a lot bigger and 2/ A4 books have nice big margins where you can add reminders and notes (though I guess you could do this with any book)

ive used my notes as wallpaper.

i dunno where anything is

most of my work is on the computer anyway

oh and i have about 40 test papers in a manila folder in a drawer somewhere in this house...

what i find is easier to do is get an arch lever folder for each subject and dividers to divide the different syllabus topics, get a wallet folder to store exam papers and markers comments

goodluck organising

a seperate folder or you could put another divider and the back of each folder for them

Can l suggest if you have a file organiser (you know those big metal things where you are able to file your work?) that you USE it.

I wish l could just go back and use mine, but it was too late. Make sections for each subject, and inside those subjects, make sub-subjects (like chapters or modules). Use a highlighter and for papers that are meant to be together, use a stapler!

a file cabinet?

on the floor works well for me

organised mess is the best
i know where everything is and worked out quite well
