End of exam, But what to do with revision guides?

Question

yesh i have finished my GCSE exams Wooooooo!!

Anyway i want to get rid of all the clutter in my room of all my notes, school books and revision guides.

I dont have any younger relatives that i could pass the stuff on to so what do i do with it?!?

The revision guides are in very good condition i didnt really use them!

I know ebay is a good website but are there any better websites or any other suggestions?

Answer 1

Sell them on ebay.

orrr if you have younger siblings save them for when theyare going to be doing their exams.

Answer 2

same here! it made me think how many trees it took to produce the massive pile of paper that i had used over the two years.

I'd take the books to a charity shop- particularly if they're in a good condition.

I got most of mine from there and it's helped me loads cos it saves me from having to buy them from bookshops at a higher price. If you have as many books as i had, the money could probably feed a lot of people. Plus it feels could to donate. =)

Answer 3

How about Freecycle?

Answer 4

You can pass them on to students who will be taking the same exams the following year. They will appreciate them.

Answer 5

Number of options:

- Keep hold of them and use them as something to look back on later on in life

- Go into your school and ask if they want to buy them back off you for a price slightly lower than what you paid for them. These are then sold onto other pupils within the school that want a revision guide but not able to pay the full price for a new one.

- Ask around if any wants them and are doing the same course.

- Get your parents to ask anyone at work if their children need them.

- Ask family members if they need them/know any one that would benefit them.

- Keep hold of them. You may have children one day, or know someone that has children and would need them.

- Ebay them if they are in good condition.

- Offer them to a charity shop/second hand book shop.

- Or just throw them away/recycle them if you don't think of anything else to do with them.

Answer 6

You could donate them to your school library.

Or burn them ; )

Answer 7

You can also post for sale at places like Amazon & Barnes and Noble so that people can just buy them at your set price without having to bid. Or, if you're more into instant gratification, you can sell them to a used book store in your area.

Answer 8

Ebay

Amazon

There will always be someone looking for them on there

Maybe think about selling them around december/january of this year though as you may get closer to the retail price as the exam stress will be starting around that time and people will definatly be looking for them

Hope you get the grades you wanted :)

Answer 9

What about taking them back into your school for the next year students? Or as an amzon seller? Or take them to the charity shop?

Answer 10

1. If you want to make a profit, sell them on eBay. Either bundle them all together or sell them seperately, but someone will be eager to buy them. You could even sell your notes with them; I know a few sellers on eBay who sell their revision notes and get a decent price from them! Why not?! You don't need them anymore! If you got excellent grades and your revision notes and schoolwork is in excellent condition, photocopy all the good stuff and put it on eBay. SOMEONE will buy it!

2. When I finished my exams, I gave all my good essays and work to all my teachers and they photocopied them to give out to the others in their next A-Level/GCSE classes etc to help them with their revision. So your good work doesn't go to waste!

3. Give your revision books to the local charity bookshop. There will be some teens out there who don't have enough money to spend on brand new ones.

4. Pass them on to friends lower down the school

5. Recycle them

6. Burn/destroy them (but I think this would be quite a waste really!).

Hope I helped you!
