I use a two ring folder for english, but for the rest of my subjects i've got note books and lecturebooks. last year i used one big folder for all my subjects for the whole year and by the end it was abolutley massive and disorganised.. now its all about the notebooks - for some reason my writing is alot neater in them than on loose-leaf.
i usually used 2 ring lever arch files, but its kinda a waste, coz id drop the folder and the arches would go out of alignment, so id need to buy a new folder...
I used to have four, and that one became stuffed, then I progressed to two rings (it was one of mum's folders) and broke that, so I'm back to the old reliable, funky exercise book
3 coz it is a mix between 2 and 4 and hols stuff in. its annoying though if once page breaks through a whole and u cant hole punch stuff at school in less u take a 3 hole pu nch n they r massive
