Title: Should I change my ref material?
Post by: dxb on November 03, 2007, 10:51:24 am
I've got a book on futher, its called "futher notes 2006-09" (By A+ Publishing)

Throughout the year I've been using the Heniman Book, which I always thought I would take in to the exam, but now, reading through the other book, I'm seriously considering using it instead. It's got way more notes and graphx calc dumps and all the jaz.

Should I change?  :(

Oh do you have the heinmann textbook?

I'm taking in the a+ publishing one...

Maybe do one trial with the heinmann and one with the a+ publishing??

Or you could copy the notes that the a+ publishing one has into the heinmann one or vica versa?

Couldn't you stick the two books together?

I know we're allowed to put 2 notebooks together. When someone then turned around and asked my teacher if that meant we could stick our textbook and our notebook together, you could see he was really unhappy with the idea but never gave a definitive no.
Maybe on monday you could ask if that's a viable option (I actually don't know if it's allowed or not)

I think they amended the rules to specifically say your bound reference must have only one spine; so if you're going to stick two books together, you wanna do a good job of joining the spines of them. Siamese twin style.

i think its gay how you have to find out ON EXAM DAY whether u can use it or not

there should be a system where once u finish get it cleared by maths co coordinator for 100% use in the exam.. altho that opens up the possibility of people geting it cleared then tampering with it..

hmm

Doesn't a maths teacher check your books? I remember last year that's what happened with mine, I had to show the head of maths my book on the day beforehand and he ticked it off on his sheet as being all good. If so you could find them beforehand and ask whether it would be alright. If not, take a photo or something and I could ask my one xD

People at my school are definitely allowed to stick two notebooks together as long as they use a hell of a lot of that thick sticky tape stuff.

I agree, If you can take in one book, you might as well take in 50, I don't get it. At least this year they are a lot less tight and you can stick things into to it etc
