Keeping old notes?
« on: November 02, 2017, 06:28:14 pm »

Hey! Today was my last content-heavy exam (legal!), and with one more left, I've begun cleaning out my absolute pig-sty of a desk.

But, I was just wondering if there was any need to keep old HSC notes? I have no plans to sell/give them to any one, I was just wondering if anyone still had their old notes and they came in handy/there's any other reason to keep them. I'm a bit of a hoarder when it comes to stuff like this, so throwing 300+ pages worth of notes seems like a waste!

(Sorry if this is in the wrong section!)

Congrats for (almost) finishing!

Why not upload the notes to ATAR Notes? :) Otherwise, I've found old notes pretty handy for tutoring purposes if that's something that interests you.

I'm in a simular situation too where I'm not sure what to do with my stuff. Geography and bio stuff I'll definatley keep for my sister who's doing HSC in 2019, but I'm not sure weather to keep or burn my drama, maths and English stuff, particularly my workbooks and practice responses.

-- need a tutor for any of the subjects listed above?? I reckon I'm the girl! Just message me on ATAR notes or here--

To add on to Joseph41's post:
Keep your notes until you finish all of them and have a good ol' bonfire with them at the end for Schoolies or something. If sending things up in flames isn't your gig, then keep the relevant ones to the ones you have course preferences in, just in case you need a refresher. Really helped for me.

Or maybe do all four! Whatever works with you.

Please don't burn anything without saving a copy guys! That work could be really useful to someone next year.

If you've got essays you've written, notes you've created or anything similar, download one of those scanning apps like Scannable, and spend 5 minutes running through and grabbing a PDF copy of the things. Then just upload the file here (NSW) or here (VIC) and I'll take care of getting it onto the site so we can share them with people who need them. That way, you get to help people AND have the ritual of burning your stuff ;D

I should've clarified myself. Oops! :-[ I meant setting fire to sheets that would make no sense to anyone and would've been absolutely illegible, completed sheets which you printed copies of and basically anything that would really be considered "trash". Of course, any contribution is a good one!
