angle ranking on crack dat vs real dat

[leejunsoo]

for those who have taken the DAT recently
how is the angle ranking section comparable to crack DAT?

I'm only getting 50~70% correct..

if it's easier, i am fine, (I think)
if it's comparable, i am worried
if it's harder, i am screwed,

any thoughts?

i havent taken the dat yet but I feel the same way you do about angle ranking

just took it yesterday, and I felt that CDP is definitely comparable to the real thing! i think the angles on the real DAT were easier than CDP, but definitely still comparable! Good Luck! 🙂

CDP is harder on angle ranking than the real DAT along with cube counting by a little bit. I could discriminate most of the angles on the DAT, but on CDP it was impossible sometimes.

Angle ranking was probably the most frustrating to learn. All the other sections you can develop your own strategies and actually learn something through practice, or figure out a method. Angle ranking is just pure practice. Try not to spend a lot of time on it while you are taking the exam, you should only spend 5-7 minutes on it. You're much more likely to get other questions right with more time than angle ranking.

thanks so much.
you are absolutely right about spending only small amount of time on angle ranking because like you said, you have a much higher chance of spending more time on other sections and actually getting it right.

Also, I've read somewhere about hole punching with 1/3 holes which is not covered in crack DAT.
Could someone explain what these 1/3 holes are?
will the line of symmetry method work for these?
thanks a lot!

i feel ya....i only get like 8/15 on angle ranking on CDP..loooool.. so sad.

everyone says the more you practice the better you get..so I am relying on this advice!!!! Hoping by CDP test 10 I will of had enough practice to land a 19+ on the real DAT!😳

Line of symmetry works, and it is covered in Achiever. I'd recommend utilizing Achiever PAT even if for nothing else.

No Ari your angles the craziest! I just took Test 8 and scored 4/15 lololol on angle ranking. I'm close to acing every single section but I always get 7-11 angles wrong so that keeps me at a 20. I just hope the real DAT is slightly easier on angles
