<p>Okay I'm a very disorganized person and my last semester in highschool is starting soon. Last semester my grades were good but I had a hard time studying because I couldn't find any notes or forgot to write when the test was in my agenda. My mom bought me a 2'' binder with 10 dividers yesterday. Lol I 'm so disorganized I lost my schedule for next semester already.</p>
<p>2" binder? Simply not large enough for TEN dividers! :eek:</p>
<p>Buy one large binder, with a divider for each section and have smaller binders or folders for each individual class that you keep in your locker or at home. Keep the new stuff in the large binder and put the old stuff in the smaller one. When you get new stuff move the older stuff. That way everything is in chronological order. It makes it a lot easier when you are trying to study a particular section.</p>
<p>Yeah, I keep most of my notebooks updated from only a period of 2 or so of the previous chapters. Old chapter material stays at home for exams.</p>
<p>thanks guys! I will gladly accept and use your advice</p>
<p>It matters if YOU are organized and you have your own system. People have perfect binders with dividers and such, but I basiclly just place most of my papers in my notebook and I am set. People comment sometimes that it looks a bit dissheveled, but I have never lost a paper(and take good notes!).</p>
<p>i'd recommend an accordian binder thingy (and keep blank notebook paper in it) for handouts, worksheets, etc. and then notebooks for whichever classes you take notes in.</p>
<p>...does anyone else ever start the year by filling out assignment books to their capacity (test dates, HW assignments, holidays, etc) and then just sort of quit? I think it's laziness, but I'm not sure...I wanna keep an assignment book that's uptodate, but often, teachers end up assigning HW after the bell, and well...yea</p>
