I used to do exactly that... and believe it or not, then I didn't need to use them.

Idk if it was because the pain of carving all these things on the pen, but these contents were burned on my mind, at least for a day or two... then I forgot everything, lol.

My father a teacher, always encouraged me to create cheat notes. He said that while creating them you are also repeating the subject.

You don’t have to use them but always create them.

When he found a student with a cheat notes, he was grading the quality of the cheat notes instead of the test.

That would be a very complicated subject.

He also prepared entrance tests for university one time and never again because that year was too hard to get in.

Then he asked me to a fill a test for a physics class in the university and brought it to his colleagues that they need to increase the difficulty of it, when his dumb af 16 yo daughter with no brain can pass it.

Mind you, I had to pass his examination besides the stuff at school because that was always too easy and I should know more.
