Hey,
I have two separate exercise books which are my bound reference, i can obviously only take in one, so the question is...
Could i get my books bound together, through binding?
Also, I'm i allowed to photocopy the textbook and stick that in my bound reference?
Thank you in advance :)

Yes, you can get them bound, and I guess you'd be able to photocopy the textbook although idk about copyright technicalities ;)

I am pretty sure u can stick things in, as long as they dont stick out :)

Hey nummypumpum,
I hope you don't mind me posting this on here, but I promise, my question is relevant to your topic! :)
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can sort of 'mark' the different sections in my BR for easy reference. I know I can't get tabs, because that would stick out, so any creative ideas?
Thanks!

If you really want, you can just get some duct tape and stick them all together with that. So long as it makes one, continuous spine, you're all good.

Highlight the shit out of your book is a good one. :P Get a bunch of different ones, and highlight the ends of pages to mark them. Like one of them old fiction books with gold leafed ends.

I've made mine on word, so I'm printing each module on a different colour paper. If you've hand written your BR, maybe place a (or a couple) piece of coloured paper to mark the end of a module?
Yes you can get them bound together! As for photocopying the textbook, you certainly can! I'm pretty sure you would only be exceeding copyright if you photocopy more than 10% of the book (which I doubt since they're like hundreds of pages)

Those are both really good ideas...I think I might do both. I tend to get stressed really easily and I want no issues on THE day. Thanks, guys! :)

According to my teacher, sticky note tabs (pic related) are okay. I've also seen over people cutting a square along the edge of pages they use a lot, and drowning the edges in different coloured highlighters to mark each module.

How long is everyones' bound reference?
For further maths, mine is 22 pages and for maths methods its 26 pages. I hardly ever use them (it was a waste of time making them honestly)

Mine is around 20 pages, but i have been giving them out to my friends to use, and now its all torn, so i might have to make a new one.

Mines only 18 pages hahaha :P
Yeah I only really use mine for the circle of transformations and the bell curve :) I find it quite wasteful as well...but I added stuff just in case I completely bomb out come exam day or something

Something is only ever a waste if you say it's a waste.
You spent time making this book, correct? Whether it be 5 seconds or 5 weeks, you still devoted some of your time to putting words on a piece of (what will become if it's not already) paper. In this time, you had to think about what you were writing and transferring to your page, and this is revision. The time you spent in making this book is not a waste, because - in some way - it aided your revision process.

I completely agree with this, though you might not use the end product, the process I find very helpful. Not entirely relevant, but in making summaries for biology, or rewriting my notes for maths, though I seldom actually look at the summaries, or care much about the neatness of my new notes, the consolidation I get from analysing what is important in my notes, or redoing the questions, it really helps to get a much stronger grasp on the content. Write a reference to solidify the concepts you've been learning all year, choose to use it or not in the exam, but the time you spend making a reference is never wasted!

What modules do you do? I'm happy to share what I have; otherwise there's a lot in the notes section of the site.

Haha mate I don't have one for methods and exams in less than three weeks.. >.< good luck to us both!

Im so glad were in the same boat. I have nothing! except a textbook for methods I have nothing for general. I only did my work on pieces of paper or a single book I had and chucked them out hahaha gg

So, I'm a bit paranoid about the rules, so:
-My book fell out of its cover so I had to sticky tape it back, so is it okay if it sticks out a bit like it does in the picture?
-Also, am I allowed to write on the sticky notes I pasted around the pages to use as tabs, like MightyBeh suggested, also like in the picture?

You should be good, as long as it's secured and you're certain that nothing will fall out of the book .

Books are checked by your teachers, and occasionally by examiners if they suspect something fishy. It should be all good, but maybe ask a teacher at your school to be sure

i think the best part about bound references is making them, because you learn so much in the production process and realise what you dont know. i made a bound reference last year but i just took my textbook in and im glad i did because there was a weird question on one of my modules i didnt know and wasnt in my bound reference, but it was in my textbook and i was very happy LOL
