Ok this question is from any experienced and/or knowledgable test takers.

We are all aware that the angle ranking is damn tough on the real dat. So i'm wondering are there any GOOD and efficent techniques that anyone is aware.

Any suggests or comments would be greatly appreciated!
 
It is not too hard to get your choices down to 2 angles....but that's where it gets hard because usually the remaining two only differ by a degree. I tried counting pixels on the computer monitor, but it was a waste of time. What I ended up doing is darting my eyes back and forth from one of the angles to the next and after doing it a couple of times, I would make a choice. This is how I did it, but I think the most important thing is to just get the choices down to 2. Just remember that the angles are the hardest, so if you do spectacular on the other sections and only fair on the angles, you should still do very well.
 
I have exceptional perception, however I had some angles where I couldn't differentiate between all four of them.

Try narrowing them down, then just go for it. Don't waste a lot of time with the angles, because some of them are nearly impossible.

Use your time on other sections where you can at least do BETTER if you have more time (like the folding section). You could probably have 3-4 minutes EACH on some of those angles and not actually do any better than if you had 3-4 seconds. Some of those angles will look the same no matter how long you stare at them.
 
i think rather than "counting pixels" or straining your eyes while sitting inches away, you should sit AWAY from the screen at a comfortable distance. I find it much easier using this technique. Also, I find the extremes first (largest and smallest) and then deal with the intermediates if necessary. Sometimes, just figuring out the largest and smallest will be sufficient for you to answer!
