<p>What some people who are stuck with dilemmas like you do is they spend a great deal of time making a “cheat sheet” with ample notes and information on it. Put a lot of effort into it. If you focused enough while doing it, you won’t actually need the cheating when the test comes because you’ve assimilated all the knowledge.
(I guess you could call it a form of studying.)
My friend did this for his Math final (by writing all the formulas down on a sheet, and he managed to remember them all without the sheet for the test).</p>
