bringing formulas to a test is different than using formulas for production being able to string together different ideas together coherently will remain an edge

l am happy to (I think) agree that there are many things that you can memorize that are not particularly valuable, and people may value some of those unduly or test for them inappropriately. But I'm quite sure it's easier to string together ideas if you have previously learned and understood them.
precisely...standardized testing targets the memorization part, but being able to remember an idea and apply the how/why of the idea are different things
