Interesting.
We always have handy little "cheat sheets" so we don't have to go off of memory on some things.
Worst case, we just go back and look at the SOPs.

We're expected to memorize the CK7/CK20 cheat sheet as this is like one of the alphabet in immunohistochemistry. It's not a hard rule as some aberrant expressions do happen when one stains positive when they're not supposed to which adds more complication to things. There's also a lot of stains out there and their algorithms are different. Just having a lymphoma panel is already a league of it's own. More updates on the method would have more organs and diseases staining behaviors and why this stain is no longer best stain which can be hard to keep up.
The last time I memorized a chart was biochemical reactions of different pathogens.
On the job, they are often underutilized knowledge compared to the stuff you had to memorize.
