Is it necessary to know/memorize all the solubility rules and exceptions to them? If so, to what degree should we know them (ie every exception or general rules)

I never learned any.. I never saw any problem on an AAMC practice tests or the real deal that required you to memorize the rules
I never had to memorize them for a Chem class in high school or college either
there's so much other stuff they can test you on.. when it comes to solubility
But if you feel like you must, save it for the end if you have time left
But did you already know it? It's not going to make a difference if you know solubility like the back of your hand and you're great at physical sciences. (Guessing by your score, you fit that example. Congrats btw)
It doesn't hurt to know them, since there are only 6 or 7.
