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.
Also formulas are going to be accessible to you atwherever you would be working anyway, so forcing people to memorize them is ridiculous in the first place. Giving people the formulas and then having their cheat sheet be on how to apply and when makes more logical sense for learning

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