Depth for Animal Form and Function

I know people say breadth over depth. But I just went through cliffs and barrons for animal physiology and right after I finished I started looking through feralis's notes and god damn are they full of intense detail. Looking at all that stuff kind of scares me to be honest cause I don't think I can fit it all in my brain it was hard enough going through this chapter on cliffs and barrons (took me 5 hours to get through while taking notes). What I am essentially asking is do you guys think all the detail on feralis notes is necessary or should I skip it?

The details can make a difference

I would say the level of detail in Feralis is just about right. I found myself missing a lot anat/phys questions during practice tests (bootcamp), and I literally spent 4-5 days reading through Campbell, Cliffnotes, and Feralis, taking notes and making notecards on all of them. It took a long time, but I was glad I did so when I took the DAT.

The notecards really helped me remember little details. For me, being able to isolate the topics/terms one at a time was a lot less overwhelming than staring at pages of notes!

True, thanks for the input. I'm about read the chapters out of Princeton books and make notes on that too since Princeton for DAT is even more detailed.
