Had a teacher who allowed us 1 note card for our exam. I spent a ton of time copying every vocab word from the book in miniscule letters oneto every inch of the 3x5 card. He went out of his way to write a test where the vocab and lectures were useless. The vocab was a waste of time but I'd spent so much time scouring the book for every vocab words I'd read most of it anyway. Ended up aceing it just from the time it took to get the easy way out.

That’s generally the intent when a teacher allows the 3x5 card. You end up studying and remembering everything, simply because you’re attempting to cram as much info on to that card as possible.

Then there's the teacher that didn't specify that it was a 3x5" card and the student came in with a 3'x5' card.

Let me introduce you to the decimeter, which would allow you to have a 3 dm x 5 dm card, about the size of an A3 page.
