Cheatsheets for the SDS Capstone Exam are optional. You are not required to use one during the exam.
The purpose of the cheatsheet is to provide a tool for you to review, connect, and summarize ideas. It is recommended that you create your own cheatsheet based on the topics covered in the exam. The cheatsheet should be a reflection of your understanding and should include key concepts, formulas, and any other information that you find helpful for quick reference.
It's important to note that the effectiveness of a cheatsheet will depend on how well you have processed and internalized the information. Since the Capstone Exam is timed and lasts for two hours, it is expected that cheatsheets you have fully processed and digested will be the most useful.
Furthermore, it is suggested to organize your cheatsheet based on topics rather than individual courses, as the exam questions may require you to integrate knowledge from different courses.
Ultimately, the decision to use a cheatsheet during the SDS Capstone Exam is up to you, and it should be used as a tool to aid your understanding and recall of key concepts.
