do you do maths on loose leaf or exercise book?

[depressedchild]

I have been using exercise books for a while now, for most of my subjects inc maths. Until mid yr ( yr11) I converted into loose leaf because ""elevate education" advised to do so as it was more effective and could be used as your compiled "notes". I guess this is true but i find it too messy. So I guess convert back to excercise books.

what do you guys use?

Yeah elevate... I dont think their sessions were good at all. If you can keep a notebook/exercise book neat then that would be better than carrying around a massive arse folder with loose leaf :/
I used exercise books for all my subjects except english. I tried loose leaf for a semester in chem and gave up.

Exercise books, since always. I have never used loose leaf for anything and I wouldn't want to have loose sheets lying around either.

used loose leaf in case I couldn't work out a question so I left a gap for when I could get back to it and I would throw that sheet into my "help" pocket

I use an exercise book (spirax 240 page notebooks are the best as the pages never fall off ). Yea i tried using loose leaf too but i found it more disorganised and tiring to have to make sure i didn't lose any of the pages. I suppose loose leaf could be good for doing random homework tasks, but with exercises i'd just stick with exercise books with questions that I can't do I just leave a gap and put a blue star next tothe question

both, depends if im lazy,

sometimes after say 2 hrs of studying my bedroom floor is filled with paper

I was always told never to use loose leaf. Pretty much because if your folder opens or something like that and you loose sheets, you're f****d. (and loose leaf costs heaps more and well... I'm stingy.)

I used one of those massive 400 page exercise books last year for methods. Biggest mistake ever. Carrying that to and from school was horrible D:

Now I just use those pretty coloured ones you can buy from Officeworks in packs of 4

I converted to loose-leaf last year, but in all honesty it didn't really make much of a difference to me.

But now I get a lot more people asking me for paper in class.

Exercise book until I run out of pages then switch over to loose leaf. Unless, I can see a reason for buying a whole new book e.g. half a semester left

For some reason I have like 1000 loose leaf pages, so I thought I may as well use them.

Exercise books, due to the fear of loosing sheets without noticing. If that were to happen, come exam time I'd be screwed.

Get those notebooks that have perforated pages (I think that's what they're called) so you can easily and neatly tear out the pages and treat them like loose leaf if you need to

SAME!!!! They came to my school too, and then I questioned all my studying habits...and well, maybe should have just kept to what I had. i have converted all my subjects into loose leaf, since if I keep my textbooks at home (I just use an electronic version at school on my laptop, so I leave my laptop at school.....then I wont get distracted:))....and its working pretty nice. You don't have to bring any books home, just do all your homework on loose leaf, put it in a labelled plastic pocket with "METHODS WORK", then when you get to school, put it in your folder. It all falls in pretty nicely and neatly.
However, notes get messy in a folder,  so either use exercise books (glue like 5 of those 1cent ones, and there you go) or type them on your laptop
.....I know I'm a cheapskate:)
