This is my paperwork. It's what I write down the second the clock starts, before I touch a single question — the two wheels and the formulas. Make your worksheet look just like this every time you study and do math, and on test day it just falls out of your hand. You're not remembering formulas under stress; you're already set up, just working the problem.

My Paperwork for the Test

Ohm's Law
PPower(watts)ICurrent(Amps)EVolts
Power
Single-phase voltage dropVD = (2 × ohms × amps × distance) ÷ 1000
Three-phase voltage dropVD = (2 × ohms × amps × distance × 0.866) ÷ 1000
Horsepower to watts1 HP = 746 W
Square root of 3  (for 3-phase)√3 = 1.732
How to use the wheel: cover the value you want. Ohm's Law — cover E and you see I×R (multiply); cover I and you see E over R (divide); cover R and you see E over I. The Power wheel works the same way with P, I, and E.
