My bound reference book was a 192 page excercise book.

Remember if you guys have any room put in any past exam answers that you see as useful as if you hit a mental blank during the exam with either a multiple choice question or a section b question (very rare though that any of these will have any relation to previous exams).

The funniest part of the exam day is when you see people rock up with itute notes as their reference!

I was one of them.

...well more accurately, Derrick Ha's book with all the iTute notes stapled in for both Methods and Spesh.

do people usually combine their spesh/methods notes together??
and.. do many people actually laugh at u for bringing in commercial notes (e.g derrik ha or whatever hes called)??

'Many'? I honestly don't think anyone cares or will even see it. Besides, in the time that they spent hand writing a personalised book, I could've done like 10 trial exam sets; jokes on them really. It really depends what level you're at but most people tend not to use it from what I've heard...I personally didn't.

I agree, although some people may find it helpful to write revision notes, but I personally never do (for maths).
PhD @ MIT (Economics).

Interested in asset pricing, econometrics, and social choice theory.

let me rephrase:

There were several students at my school who came in to the exam with about 4 pages of itutes notes stapled together (i.e. a last minute thing).

I started my bound reference book from day dot thankyou very much!

If you guys came in with say a already made reference 'book' that was highlighted, annotated, etc. Then really that is not the same as coming in with four sheets of itutes notes.

With uni the fact that lecturers will either sell or put skeletons of the lecture notes on the net will imply that you can annotate, highlight important parts in as little time and have it as a great reference. I wish that I went to a commercialised lecture for all my VCE subjects last year but they were too expensive! :(
