This is the secret of professors who tell you can bring a cheat sheet to an exam. The trick is that making the cheat sheet helps you study.
I had a few teachers who would twist this a bit by saying "you can bring a single note card" or similar. Once you've had to figure out how to stuff a calc-exam's worth of help into a 3x5 card, you'll damn sure know more than when you started!
I'll often make myself little docs or cheat sheets for some onerous process at work, and again - getting to the point where I have a doc that's foolproof even on my stupidest mornings does a lot to make sure I know the material well.
- brightlancer 3y agoMany of my classes prohibited bringing notes but scratch paper was always permitted, so we'd spend the first part of an exam doing a "brain dump" onto the scratch paper. Similarly to building a note sheet, if you can write your notes out from memory, you know the material well.
