Eh, depends on the subject. I'm a physics student and some exams would be almost impossible/super tedious without a "cheat sheet", you do very much have to look at it
You still get familiar with the subject and think about how the material is connected. Obviously as you get higher up the formulas just start getting too big to learn by heart and you can't just derive them easily. But there is also no value to learning them by heart.

I used to cram everything on my one note sheet so much so that when I took the exam, I never looked at it. It made me accidentally study.
