I've got a question on the Arithmetic to Memorize flashcards.
Is it really recommended to memorize all the multiples of 8 to 160, the multiples of 12, to 120, the multiples of 15, to 150, the powers' of 2 up to 2^7, and the powers of 4 up to 4^4 and 3 up to 3^5?
Or should I just be able to calculate these values quickly. I know this is in excess of what the MGAT books recommend.
Looking for opinions before I dedicate the mental capital to memorize all theses.

HI alextaylor116,
You ask a good question. The answer lies in how quickly you can actually work through the examples that you listed. So, try timing yourself - if you can physically calculate all of those end results perfectly and quickly, then you probably don't need to memorize them. However, if you make mistakes or are 'slow' with that work, then memorizing that information might be helpful to your overall performance in the Quant section.
