What are peoples opinions on having a combined bound reference with methods and specialist notes?

Personally, I think it’d be a distraction in the exam to combine the two books together (for my trial for FM, I taped all the modules with the core and it was soooooooo annoying to flick through all the separated books to find a piece of info, so prior to the exam I’m gonna bind it properly) - instead, if there are certain things which overlap and you’d like to include in the spec bound reference, just add one A4 page or something. For instance, if you wanted an exam reminder, say, put a +c when the question specifies ’the’ antiderivative, just add that dot point somewhere in the spec book.

In saying that, I personally feel like I know the methods context well enough so that in the exam I won’t be looking in my theory book, so if you aren’t necessarily confident in methods, then perhaps combining the two is the better option; just my two cents :) Just note that a bigger bound reference makes it harder to find something in the actual exam, acting more as a detriment than an advantage (imo).
