I'm going to say just bring it in - it looks fine to me. But double-check with the relevant people at your school.

To be honest, I think that wasting too much time on your bound book (unless its for Further) is detrimental. You'd usually be way better off doing practice exams than constructing notes.

I haven't put it together over the last few days, I've been making it over the entire year as revision, adding to it every time I finished an exercise in my textbook.

Sticky-tape over each perforation?

This is what I recommend. For methods last year somebody had perforated pages, and they were told to tape over the perforations and then they could take it in.

Safest option would be to talk to the coordinators at your school though.

Is that a legit technique? If thats the case I'll just do this. Anyways, I don't see how supervisors could come up with an excuse to take the book off me if I did this.

Yup. Sticky tape over the perforations is one of the best options right now, but it is time consuming. May be get your mum, dad or a sibling to do it for you (Someone who will do it properly). You, yourself don't want to be wasting your time doing that at this point.

Another alternative, is to get your school library (if they are friendly enough) to photocopy all the pages of notes, and then print it all off, and then get it bound. I don't think this would be an easy way, but just a suggestion. :)

Good luck!

They have a lot of power. They can do what they want to be honest - They are given the authority to do so. They SHOULDN'T take it off you if you do sticky tape each page, but remember they have more power than you do.

Can't say for certain that it will satisfy all supervisors, but was at least a legitimate technique at my school. Again though, may as well make sure and talk to somebody at your school before the exam rather then trying to guess. It will just give you one less thing to worry about and potentially get stressed over come exam day.
