<p>3 subject notebooks college-ruled were good enough for me. I’ve always used graph paper for math class (4 parts / inch). I don’t like folder-binders, it feels disorganized. I’d rather keep sheets in a 10 pocket folder.</p>
<p>I’ve always been partial to binders, simply for the convenience that you can rearrange papers as needed. Otherwise, I just took notes in random notebooks and just put them in the binders as needed.</p>
<p>Last year I bought a huge 3 subject notebook (history, math, chem), and then i had one smaller notebook and binder (latin) and a couple folders, and then I had a composition book for english</p>
<p>When I ran out of space in my huge notebook, I just got a new one lol</p>
<p>Wow, you guys got by a lil’ easier than me. I had a 1.5-2" binder for every class, 6 academic classes, and only a pocket folder for debate. We had tons of paper that we needed, and it got heavy quick…</p>
<p>I will again do the same thing, except all binders may need to be 2" this year because of harder classes. I also needed like 5 composition books last year, and most likely will need 5-7 this year as well.</p>
<p>oh man, i used a 5 subject notebook my senior year and abandoned that idea approaching the second semester. the thing just fell apart. overstuffed it with papers</p>
<p>but i would just bring that notebook and a pen to class everyday. so awesome.</p>
