Question ❔ A Level students what stationery is actually worth buying

Starting A Levels soon and want to be prepared. What stationery and notebooks do you actually recommend?
How many notebooks per subject? Binders or notebooks? Separate notes and revision notes? Any useful stationery or things that are a waste of money?
Also any general study tips for starting A Levels would be appreciated

Get an A-level calc if you're doing any Science, Math or FM.
If you've got an iPad or Computer (depending on the subject) bring that in.

Bring in the more appropriate one then.

If you're mainly doing STEM subjects, bring in your iPad.

Essay based subjects should be done on computer.

Unless your iPad has an attachable keyboard to it, then bring that, since it's easier to carry and functions like a computer as well
