Achiever Keyhole, how to utilize the answers for dimension

Hello, guys, I am trying to understand the keyhole answers in achiever. But they just give you the 3-D shape and offer no explanation. This honestly does no help since the 3D shape does not have the same scale as the choices....I sometimes eliminate down to two answers, and they both seem to fit in.... How should I utilize the 3-D shape answers? I also have bootcamp, would you suggest me to switch to Bootcamp for keyhole because it has much better explanations?

DATBC's answers are much better than what you've described. First each figure is given the proper top/bottom, side/side, and front/rear entry shadows, then each of the answer choices are compared to the correct shadows and explained why they don't work.

You'd be surprised how minute an answer choice's difference can result in a wrong answer.

I totally agree with you. Should I give up achiever and turn to Bootcamp? I ask this because I heard achiever is a must if you want to score high, but the keyhole answers aren't really helping at all.

I personally found Achiever to be really helpful overall. You're right though, there aren't any real helpful explanations and the proportions can be a little different in the 3D solution image. Just rotate the 3D shape to view the face that you're looking at and for the most part you can tell which would fit, even if it's really hard to tell in the original image. They really test small details that you may miss in a time-pressured situation
If you have time you should go through both! Maybe try going through Bootcamp first then go back to Achiever

To each his own really. I find that a lot of SDN advice suits that specific person, but may or may not suit the rest of the readers. If, however, you believe your current study method/resource isn't very effective, you may want to try out others.

There should be a zoom in/out button that would allow you to resize the 3D shape to the appropriate scale before you start rotating it. That's what I did as far as I could remember.
