What size font do you use to write your information sheets? I'm using size 5 right now, and I'm curious if anyone else can see smaller than that.

Size three is legible but that depend on your eyes. 3.5 is a thing too.

For my own cheat sheets, no matter which event I was doing, I don't think I ever went below 6, maybe 5 (I don't really remember). It can get hard to read at that point, and you'd honestly be better off trying to finish other parts of the test instead of spending time on straining your eyes to read your cheat sheet. I'll pose one question for you too, tho, really: if there's stuff you know by heart, what point is there at all to have it take up space on your cheat sheet? You can take such stuff off your sheet to free up space for other things you may not be as familiar with.

Good pout brought up pikachu4919. And I usually don’t go past 5 on cheat sheets, because I don’t want to spend the whole test looking for some information on there. I guess it all depends how well you can read it. I’m pretty sure there’s a girl on my team that can’t read anything smaller than 10

I know where everything is because I wrote it so it doesn't take that long and I add columns too. I also have headers in bold with i.e. Diseases

Oh, another thing. I always liked making my notes in Microsoft PowerPoint since it was tons easier to move text and pictures around than on Microsoft Word, plus there are no margins :P (Sometimes I used Adobe InDesign to make my notes, actually, but that software is expensive af, and I'm just spoiled from my experience as a designer for my high school newspaper)

You can move pictures by doing the text overlap. Also some printers can only go so small margin wise.

Um, I think this has probably been asked before, but in the digestive section of the rules when it says "diseases on each level from the cell to the whole person" how do you study that? Do you study how it affects the cell, then the next level up, (tissues and such) and so on? Or do you just study the basics like cause, symptoms, treatment, etc? Some of these diseases look very broad so I don't think you could do that for all of them. (Especially diarrhea. Isn't that a symptom...?)

Just do all that you have mentioned. Some specifications may not be applicable but there are certainly complications involved with your example of diarrhea: e.g. dehydration.
