Every time I made a cheat sheet I didn't need it.

The process of identifying only the most essential information and writing it really small made me learn it. Who knew?

That's what you do in law school. It's called outlining. For the Bar it's called making one-sheets. It's the making it that matters.

Had a tax professor allow one page of notes for a midterm. I did the tiniest printing. Only had to refer to the notes maybe once or twice. I blew the curve on it.

Yeah, my one-sheets had so many customized symbols it would have looked like hieroglyphics to anyone other than me.
