How would you say "cheat sheet"?

I type my notes from my Spanish class and have now been asked by fellow classmates (and instructor) to create a sort of "cheat sheet" with my notes. Note: "Cheat Sheet" will be my heading. Thanks.

But the better way to say it in English (more politically correct?) is 'crib notes' - margaretbl, Nov 22, 2010

Actually they do say it where I'm from and it means something gentler than 'cheat sheet' - like your work papers or something like that. - margaretbl, Nov 22, 2010

In Argentina? - margaretbl, Nov 22, 2010
sí, ¿quizás debería aclararlo? - mediterrunio, Nov 22, 2010
No, no, me interesa por lo de los regionolismos...ademas hay más palabras para 'la chuleta' - margaretbl, Nov 22, 2010
Chuleta is pretty regional, as well. The dictionary says Spain and Venezuela. It's slang wherever you go. - KevinB, Nov 22, 2010
acá es machete, ´machetease´ en el examen. Debe ser por la forma alargada para ocultar la hoja fácilmente - mediterrunio, Nov 22, 2010

Chuleta. It also means pork chop, for some reason.
Welcome to the forum. I find creating cheat sheets a great study tool. Just don't actually use them to cheat.

great answer - 00494d19, Nov 22, 2010
it also means lamb chops, any kind of meat actually kevin - 00494d19, Nov 22, 2010
Right, any sort of chop. Most of the chops we eat here in the U.S. are pork. We don't eat a lot of lamb. - KevinB, Nov 22, 2010
chuleta also means ´patilla´, becasue of the shape - mediterrunio, Nov 22, 2010
