No.

The common ones. There should be a list of them given to you by the teacher.

 

[Pwnage101]

Periodic table will help you out.

 

[ohexploitable]

Use your periodic table for the monatomic ions and you just have to remember the polyatomic ones.

 

[pwoh]

Most common ones I use are ammonium, carbonate, sulfate&sulfite, nitrate

Google/wiki "common ions"

Edit: also look through syllabus, sometimes they mention specific compound - ions in those are usually useful

 

[kbsb]

generally the common anions are sulfate, phosphate, carbonate and chloride (there the ones you need to know) and the common cations are barium, calcium, copper, lead, iron (II) and iron (III)
