does anyone else feel like they got a ton wrong and they get 20s. I feel like my grade is only that high when i do it bc i get all of them right in cube counting and almost all key holes. Anybody else feel this way after and do u guys also just go straight to cube counting first?

I just do it in order it shows up.
And angles are what brings my score down. Everything else is okay for me..
 
Yeah, I remember Angles were my anathema in my CDP practice tests. However, once I started implementing the hill method (which worked wonders for me), I started consistently getting 22-ish scores.
 
I "skip around" the sections. It's the only way I can find to manage my time effectively. Before, doing it in order, I was getting 20-21, now I'm scoring 23-25 on every test (although part of the increase is probably just practice). I do keyholes, skip TFE (the hardest section, IMO -- I try not to rely on line counting because I know it won't work on the real test), do angles, skip hole punching (which isn't bad but takes me a long time), do cubes and pattern folding, then hit "review incomplete" and do TFE and hole punching. Keeps me from panicking on TFE (because I usually have around 33-35 minutes left when I get there and I KNOW that's plenty of time) and by doing hole punching last I can't let it turn into a huge perfectionistic time suck.
