In primary school i used to just not study or take notes and just used my "gifted kid" abilities to soak up as much info as i could during class and then when i didnt know something during the exam i would go back to look at the questions and try to extrapolate the answers. Still works sometimes when im in a pinch.

Lol I've had to essentially derive formulas that I should have memorized mid test before. Or reverse engineer examples from other questions to figure out the concept needed for another question (again, should have known that going in). I used to take absurdly long tests due to stunts like these, but tbh it usually worked. I distinctly remember discovering how logarithms worked mid-test at some point, for example

In a way I think being able to derive a formula is a much more valuable skill than rote memorisation, especially in higher education. That being said I've also done this when I was just lazy and didn't remember my lessons...
