For maths, don't bother buying grid books; what good purpose does the grid serve? Plain exercise books are cheaper and better to write on.

I would even avoid grid books because in no hsc maths exam will you be given grid paper, its a small thing but if you get as used to/simulate exam conditions as much as possible it will be less stressful.

if you want to look intimidating, get binders

LOL so true - i dont think ill get a binder that ill use for school cuz i hate carrying stuff, probs will get smaller ones for home

Just get an ordinary A4 exercise book, even the ones without binder holes. You will get to a point where anything extra is just gimmicky, useless or not worth the time trying to decide one or the other. They also tend to be more compact.

Keep everything simple.

I used a lined book for maths qs and small binder for everything else (including maths notes). i empty this into bigger subject specific binders at home
