angle ranking, if difference is 1 degree

I encountered many angle ranking problems that only has 1 degree difference.
I cannot tell which one is bigger.
do i have to just randomly guess which one is bigger? any tips?

I am not sure where you are finding 1 degree differences because CRACK has the most difficult angles and the smallest difference between any 2 angles is always at least 3 degrees.

No worries. The actual DAT does not have angles that similar. However, I did see some that were probably 3 degrees apart. Still, those were do-able if you look close enough. Good luck!

my strategy for angle ranking as always been, if they are all 90 or below (acute) check out which one comes close to 90 degrees, like imagine a right triangle, usually if you like step bac from the computer screen and take a good look and draw a 90 degree line on one of the angles and compare that with another close one you can see the difference...practice it

But to answer your question i dont think they can have 1 degree difference its pretty hard to see...

I do sort of the same thing-- only when my choices are between two angles (let the angles be choice A and choice B) where one of the two lines (let L1 and L2 be the two lines) that makes the angle is flat (call the flat line L1). Then I imagine an imaginary line perpendicular to L1. Then I look at the angle that is made by L2 and the new imaginary line. If the imaginary angle of choice A is bigger than choice B -- Choice A's tested angle is smaller than choice's B tested angle.

Just came up with that strategy last night. It sounds complicated but not really if you're doing it.

This strat. works really well when the choices are dealing with angles where one line is flat.

1 degree????


I don't think it's possible for the human eye to resolve a 1 degree difference..

the resolving power of the mddang eye can

Just stick with your first guess and move on if you think one is bigger it probably is!
