ah, i see that you're the same user who asked this about the quant section.
remember—it's IMPOSSIBLE to "memorize your way to success" on this exam.
really, that says "impossible", and it means what it says.
it doesn't just say "really hard" or "time-consuming" -- it actually says "impossible".
in fact, that's actually THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS EXAM -- to be "memorization-proof".
you already have all those years of high-school and college grades. THOSE already tell the schools everything they might want to know about how well you can memorize things and then reproduce them on exams (which is what school grades are mostly about).
if the GMAT worked like that, then the GMAT wouldn't even exist, since it wouldn't add any value beyond your school transcript.
this is even more important to realize for SC, because SC is mostly a test of a small number of key concepts -- with lots and lots of distractions thrown in.
if you tried to construct the type of "universal cheat sheet" you're talking about here, then you would actually do WORSE on SC, because you'd just spend more and more and more time studying the LESS important things—things that were put on the test to distract you from the MORE important things.
