This is a very general question: On orgo, how do we know when a reaction needs heat to proceed?

usually when a lot of energy is required for the reaction to proceed.

example: acid catalyzed hydrolysis of nitriles (CtriplebondN --> CO2H). the CN bond is very stable and needs a lot of heat for the reaction to occur.

For the MCAT, if I feel like I forgot a lot about topic, then is it fine to start relearning that content even if it's 1+ years away from my test?
