does the dat require you to know mechanisms for the orgo section?

 

[nanilla]

not necessarily mechanisms, you need to know how to get from A to B with what reagents but knowing the mechanism def would help.

 

[Danny289]

in organic section, sometimes they ask about intermidate products. if you know mechanism, you will be more comfortable with those kind of questions.

 

[klutzy1987]

Generaly you do not need to know mechanisms. You will never be asked to identify the mechanism of say a claisen or dieckman. However you do need to know the reactions and know what each one is called and what it does.

Is there a place that says what areas will be tested(I think there is at least for bio)?
