Illicit study notes
A cheat sheet is a concise reference document containing essential information, formulas, or procedures for quick consultation.
Students sometimes use cheat sheets illicitly during exams, but the term more often describes legitimate study aids or professional quick-reference guides: I keep a cheat sheet of keyboard shortcuts taped to my monitor.
The plural form suggests a collection of such references or, less commonly, the practice of using them to gain unfair advantage.
