The whole point of making a bound book is the preparation you gain before the actual exam. During it, I'd expect most people wouldn't open it once (if it's their own notes) because they had already learnt everything they had written in their notes.

That's my plan ;)

If it's anything like this year's exam, there won't be any previous exam questions which will capable of preparing you for it. xD

Most schools allow bound references for most SACs.

Also, Romperait speaks the truth in regards to past questions. It's scary but you better be prepared to face it. But still do past exam papers, obviously!

As romperait said, note that many of you will never have to use it as helpful as it sounds. Most of you guys are pretty good students and shouldn't be relient on the bound notes because those aiming high will never use it since you'll just know it all.

By all means, write up your notes nicely in an excercise book, it helps to learn but don't expect to use it and waste a lot of time writing stuff up. I did write up a lot of notes during the year, but I just took the TSFX bound reference materials. It had a contents page which is useful because not using your own notes means you're not familiar with where things are and you don't want to waste time in the exam finding stuff. That said, I still didn't use the reference materials.
ATAR: 99.90
2010 - Classical Studies [45] - Mathematical Methods CAS [50 + Premier's]
2011 - English [49] - Specialist Mathematics [LOL]- Latin [LOL] - Chemistry [LOL] - UMEP Mathematics[LOL]

2012-2018 - UoM: Biomedicine, Chancellor's Scholars + Doctor of Medicine

I think that's just because of binding, and a guillotine can take care of that for you.
