I can then easily look up the solution and continue on my way. It would have done me no good to have the specific solution memorized but not understand how or where to apply it in the real world.
This may apply to some subjects, but the tests I've taken so far this year are 95% applying knowledge. If you don't understand the material you will not do well.
