These are all great resources mentioned! However, I think the biggest ‘plus point’ actually comes from the process of creating them yourself. Forcing your brain to synthesise and condense a massive 20-page pathology chapter into a single, concise A4 page is one of the most effective active recall exercises you can do. The ultimate cheat sheet is the one you curate yourself!

Cheatsheets are definitely life saviours when that exam pressure builds. With the advancing technology I feel AI can be used very well to make cheatsheets on any given topic. Plus you get the added benifit of customization, you can add your own mnemonics or some additional information you want to be included that might not be there in the common ones
