I did not know about the cheat sheet before coming to business school. I had no idea! When we were first told we were allowed to use one, I felt like I had won an adjustable mood ring in a plastic bubble from one of those prize machines with the claw. WHAT?? You can just bring a double-sided 8×11 sheet with key formulas written out to an exam?? In reality, it’s not as easy as it seems; if you don’t understand the material (at least loosely), it won’t help you that much.
Man, creating a cheat sheet for an exam is so weird when you stop and think about it. It’s like, “My entire semester is reduced to this?” Here is what my Managerial Economics cheat sheet looked like today:
But I was thinking how funny it would be if I showed up to every exam I take with just this like, “This is all I need, bitchezzzz!”:

hahaha, that second cheat-sheet would make people oooh and ahhh you like you were some sort of exam-deity….and I remember by the time I got to 3rd year business school, the cheat sheet was so intense that it would be this big elaborate typed-out thing in size 6 font all colour-coded, and each person was responsible for filling out one chapter or “one small section of the page”….looking back, I barely even referenced the frickin’ thing….(and no that doesn’t mean I aced the exam, hahaha
