I just took the DAT and got 99 percentile for PA so I think I got this section down pretty good. I think a lot of people have problems doing angle ranking because they are nearly impossible but here's the strategy I used.
Most choices are given like this
A. 1>2>3>4
B. 1>2>4>3
C. 2>1>3>4
D. 2>1>4>3
So all you need to do is decide between 2 and 1 and then decide between 3 and 4.
Say we decided 2 is bigger than 1 we can narrow the choices down to A and B then you don't even need to worry about comparing 2 and 1 to 3 and 4. You just need to compare 3 to 4 and if 3 is bigger than you know it's B.
Now on to how to compare angles. Most look just look and gawk but I use a more hands on method. I use my fingers to cover the two angles i'm trying to compare leaving only the corner exposed and it's a lot easier to tell which angle is smaller. Somethings the smaller angle will curve a little bit due to the pixel resolution.
Hope that helps.
