  That's where the men get seperated from the boys. That - the mindset of students who have not stepped into the workforce - actually forms the basis behind why some people with better academic records do not rise through the ranks as quickly as some with lousier grades...

  I have never see a formula with 20 terms in it. And normally for those hard formula, it will be given in the exam script. Oh i forgot to add in, that is how i remember equations. I remembered them by using them. I don't have photographic memory nor have a better memory than your. Yet this method has never failed me during exams.
  
  on A4 paper:
  So far, i mainly heard people using much smaller piece of paper. Didn't hear them use A4. The example in page 1 concur with what i think.
  
  on that 30 marks question:
  I have never encounter a 30 marks question with a single line answer.
  

  i'm qouting an example so you can't have A 4 size so you bring 2 A5? it might be possible to smuggle in. just extrapolate from there.
  
  on equations, well death already mentioned the number of terms and equations. whether they are given is really dependent on your prof.
  
  hey we are talkign about whether the cheating will help. not whether you can remember by some long hard method. besides i'll say that you can get familiar with the equations without going to the extent of being able to regurgitate them and still use them effectively.
  
  no you don't get 30 marks from a single line, but that single line gets you started. a most simple example would be a derivation question. some times the first step is very important. and if you forget it you can't do the question.
