    Yes, predrill. The plywood will seperate almost as easily as MDF splits.

    The biggest time-saver you can get is a set of right-angle clamps (aka framing clamps), and a countersink bit.

    Get the bit that has the drill bit coming through it.

    I got cheap Craftsman right angle clamps for like $10/pair.
    The countersink bit should cost you about $5.

    That bit predrills your hole, and carves a countersink for your drywall screws in one step!

    Makes box building a several-hour affair, rather than a several-day affair! ;)
