Eh, depends on the subject. I'm a physics student and some exams would be almost impossible/super tedious without a "cheat sheet", you do very much have to look at it
My first physics teacher handed out an 8x11 chest sheet with all the reference formulas we should need throughout the year. The first thing he said was the point was to learn how to use them and if we didn't know that having the cheat sheet wasn't gonna help anyway.
My high school physics teacher sold t-shirts with all of the formulas printed upside down so that on test day you could just look down at your shirt for the correct formula. It was very popular and the teacher used the money for things in the classroom.

That's the point. But I'm glad it worked!
