Forget the weight, I wasn't even sure if they would fit. 3-4 folders, Maths exercise book and Cambridge textbook are annoying to arrange.
thick end to thin end carry one folder

or bigger bag

best way to organise books?

whats the best way to organise your exercice books and handouts?

do you glue them in, or put them all into a seperate folder?

or do you put them all into one plastic sleeve?

glue and exercise books are so primary school.

totally agree
1 folder with dividers, for each subject
1 folder with dividers for stuff you are working on.
file into subject folders when each topic is over.

A folder for each subject? How do you manage to carry it in your bag?
I'm planning on doing that next year, but I don't know if I'll be able to carry it all, I've been using loose sleeve paper for year 11, all divided in one folder. I found it easy to use at the start, but when I started using an excessive amount of paper it got really messy and unorganised.

So, should I continue with loose sleeve or go back to exercise books? :hammer:

Don't be a moron, lol. Just bring loose leaf to school and then file it all into your folders when you get home (what I will be doing). And hello, D.

Edit: BTW, I recall reading that someone on this forum actually does bring a separate folder for each subject. Maybe you should ask him how he manages to carry it around.

Next term (year 12) I'll use a one of those cheap cardboard folders for each subject (colour coded) and exercise books.
At the moment I am using one display folders for all my subjects and exercise books. haha .. the display folder is obese :p

Re: best way to organise books?

I guess I just have to get a bigger bag then I already have. :hammer:

For all my sheets I use colour coded plastic envelopes.

I reckon I can try folder per subject. It'll just cost me quite a bit of money and if it doesn't work out then :hammer:.
