Quick question about boards:

Are they similar to the DAT in that they are primarily recall-type questions, or do they require more synthesis?

I usually set aside notes for each class to go over in the months before boards, but there are some classes that seem so far removed from GD that I think I'll probably just memorize and regurgitate when the time comes. Some parts of biochemistry come to mind....
 
more recall-type questions.. few require advanced thought... however.. the breadth of material is much wider in NBDE part 1 and 2 than it was in the DAT.

hope that helps.
