I haven't tried this. Heard once on VJ somebody did this and made IO angry. From what I know, the point of interview would be lost if you just read answers from form / cheat sheet.

You are going to be carrying copies of your documents in with you. Part of that will include your travel records, which you declared on the N 400. Memorising them is not needed. Referring to  your documentation is fine . Its like carrying then  handing over your birth certificate if asked   I made 15 plus trips out of the US .. No way was i going to commit this to memory !!

Interesting. I brought tons of evidence for each interview (AOS and naturalization). I brought copies of everything I submitted. I reviewed forms before interview while waiting for it. I never used any cheat sheets or read from my forms during those interviews. Lawyers who worked with me never expressed this was an option. I spoke to few folks who went through the process and they never said it was an option. I had about 8 trips, remembered them all along with addresses of employers etc. Maybe I made it too hard for myself unnecessarily.

Maybe this is why you're so helpful in recommending (in every forum) that folks dot every "i" and cross every "t" -- not a bad philosophy!
