Exercise book

For younger pupils, books are often collected at the end of each lesson for review, scoring, or grading.

[citation needed] The US equivalent is composition book, which traditionally has a distinctive cover pattern.

Exercise books manufactured in the Czech Republic and Slovakia are labeled by three-digit codes that encode their size, number of pages, and ruling.

An alphanumeric code is used to describe the exercise book's binding, format, and size.

Although available in several colors, the original marbled black-and-white cover, with its generic label on the front, is the most common.

Sometimes a multiplication table, or grammar or punctuation tips, are also found on the inside back cover.

The inside front cover typically has a place to put one's weekly class schedule.

This allows to open them completely flat, simplifying writing on the left side, and also makes them significantly more durable than loose leaf pads or spiral notebooks.
