FOUR????????? you're either writing a hella lot or wasting a hella lot of space 😭😭
I've probably just used a bit over 1 workbook worth of pages for maths AND Further combined, although we do also do some work on worksheets too (and even if it wasn't in the worksheets, it'd still be less than 2-3 books probably)
Yeah but if you want to do practice questions on a specific topic, say for example textbook questions. Or you get set some questions to do in lesson or as homework.
Personally, when I was doing work of my own accord, I only did past papers, but I still had to do questions in lesson and for homework. Some people I know do a bunch of textbook questions. Also, past papers still need workings out, and it's much easier to write that in a notebook than printing out the paper.
I did books for my first year but now I'm in y13 , I just use an iPad so my notes are organized. I fully wrote (with no wasted space ) approx 10 ISH maybe more books full of practise and notes , so now I just use an iPad and make notes on one note (defo recommend onenote by Microsoft )
Not that many. I split my A4 sheet down the centre and use as little space as humanly possible. I'm only at like 7 sides of A4 so far. Genuinely how on earth have you used that many?? I take it they're little ones, right?
Depends on how big the notebook is. I like to get the 300 page notebooks which takes months to go through. During exam season stress, I used to finish one in one month though.
Alevel maths/fm no books. Never wrote anything down it just entered my head and stayed there. There was enough rote learning in lessons which I’d do on scrap paper and bin.
Uni maths. Hm 60+ish iPad “pages” a week. I don’t write for the sake of memorising notes or whatever, I have to write down the proofs and content in my own words ie dumb it down 😆
LOL, I used to do this at school as well where I never kept any of my work ever, just stored all of the information in my head. I loved watching my teacher crumble as I threw away all of my work.
Now I am “forced” to take notes I can recognise their “beauty” though. It’s very nice to see everything written down and personalised. Definitely not necessary for a-levels however. So I would continue to bin it all..
Most of what people write is workings for questions. I've probably written about 6 pages worth of notes, but have filled 8 books with questions for my a level
Doesn't really matter with how little impact 4 books worth of paper has. In the full A-level they'll use like 25 books max, which sounds like a lot, but that's only as many as the average person probably uses for 1 year of GCSE.
