is it me or is angles the hardest section in Crack PAT. If it wouldn't be for the angles i would be getting a damn near perfect score on PAT....This is frustrating me since it seems that i can do every section on PAT flawlessly until it comes to angles...I have tried the laptop and bike method but it seems to not work as well as i have tried or am i doing it wrong?

Is there an advice to work on this part on the DAT. My exam is coming up in 12 days...
 
i agree with you, it was the hardest section for me and i was not able to improve on it at all. in the end i concluded that its not worth wasting time on it since i cant do anything about it.
 
this is so weird that everyone says this about angles. i think they're not that bad, but pattern folding and hole punching are ridiculously hard for me.
 
I felt the actual DAT angle was very difficult. I spent too much time on it and screwed up my timing. It always came down to two angles that looks exactly the same!
 
On CDP, I was getting 28-30 by the end and it was always a couple of angles that I would end up missing...

On the real DAT, about half of the angle questions were fairly obvious and the other half come down to two angles that look identical. You're going to have to take some chances on those unless discerning angles is your superpower or something. The key is to go with your first instinct and not screw yourself over by wasting time on the ones that you could look at all day long and still not be sure on.
 
its been rly inconsistent for me. on my first 2 CDPs I got 14 and 15 on angles and bombed the hole punching (12 and 9, respectively). i just took a 3rd one and got 11 on angles and 15 on hole punching...🙄

either way, I've been getting 21+ overall. Good thing there's no breakdown for PAT like the sciences ... 😀
