This is from Kaplan I see... Well To start things off, I agree with you on the first one. The triangles looked identical to me when I saw that for the first time and they still do to this day. Idk what is going on there.
And the second one doesn't seem to make sense either... it looks like E should have a hole in it. This is just ridiculous cuz I struggled with Kaplan PAT for a while too, then I took the 2007 and 2009 and scored way higher on the PAT. Kaplan PAT = 18, 18, 19, 20. 2007 and 2009 PAT = 21, 21. I suggest looking into other sources to measure your performance. Take those practice exams and see how you stack up against the PAT. Plus the actual PAT from those practice exams are way different than Kaplan.
