For the Maths and Sciences, it didn't help as much, but that may be because that was where my main interests lay (laid?).

I used to teach part time in Junior college here in CA and I often allowed my students to create a cheat sheet. Basically I allowed them to have one 3x5 card with all the formulas and other data for a test. By the time the student spent the effort to generate the card they knew the material and didn't usually even need to refer to the card during the test. It actually worked well.
