    We used to be allowed to bring one A4 piece of paper with handwritten notes to most exams at uni. I always crammed them with notes, but very rarely were they more than my emotional support notes. Turns out that writing these notes the night before is a pretty good way to reinforce all the knowledge you need for the test.

    The only big exception was game theory. I was studying a master data science (as part of computer science) and game theory was a course from the mathematics master. That was the hardest fought 7/10 of my life. Turns out math is taught very differently to math students than comp sci students.
