I never learnt the solubility rules, i have no idea what they are, and I still managed to get 85 for chem. Everyone else is like, "do you know your solubility rules" and "you must know your solubility rules". What are they and what do you need to know them for?

They aren't very important, most reactions in year 11 i found were simple salts/acid base like:

HCl + NaOH > NaCl + H2O

Just when something weird shows up, (most of the time you will be like OMFG gay equation) you look em up (I have in my calculator.)

I don't know them, or exactly how they work: to my knowledge it's the list of compounds which dont mix in water or something.

You need them in the Identification of Ions in Solutions section of Module 3 Monitoring & Management. They are very helpful and necessary for some questions.
