Should I memorize the ENTIRE study guide for just a few questions

Here is the deal: I am going for a Board soon. I find it a lot easier to memorize a few questions with short answers than all 206 questions from ADP1 alone. Let alone all the other ADPs. My SGT is thinking I should memorize every question for the Army, Fires, and Unified Land Operations within a week or my chain of command is gonna chew him out for not spending the last 6 months helping me study (his college was more important than helping me study for my first board).

I have only recently discovered that making flashcards for questions that I find relevant to be helpful. I decided that I will write a bunch of questions, memorize those, and go with it. I figure if the guys on the board asks me something that I didnt memorize, I'll just answer, "I cannot recall at this time." He doesnt like that. I have tried doing his system of reading and memorizing an entire page and going to the next one. It doesnt work for me. The flashcards work but I am not going to try to memorize an entire book. I have a hard enough time memorizing what websites have what passwords.

The question is: Should I stick with what works for me or should I stress myself out with a system that worked for him but I know will not work for me.
