In my humble opinion, you have to have done enough practice problems to the point that you memorize things without specifically "memorizing" them. Come exam day if I have to think about a formula, I am already "wrong", I personally need that time to digest the question and how best to approach it.
The trick isn't to have the formulas memorized but how to manipulate and use the information they give you to get you to where you need to go.
