any angle ranking advice?

Hi all,

I need some tips/advice on how I can attack ranking angles that are at different orientations. I've tried different techniques like rapid-eye movement and the laptop method, but I just can't seem to apply them. Thanks!

I recently just applied the rapid eye movement and I have been having a lot of success on the generators on dAT bootcamp. The way I do it is I unfocus my eyes and go back and forth super quick to whichever angles I am comparing while squinting my eyes and opening them and closing them and so on. Sorry if this is what you meant by rapid eye movement but this is what I've been using and have honestly went from getting them right 20% of the time to 80% of the time. Good luck!

Thank you for the reply! I've had some settle success with it so far. Perhaps I should go with you're describing and "unfocus" my eyes. I think that was one of the problems I had since I was to focused on getting the right distances, comparing the vertexes, and so on. I'll update you on how I progress. Happy Holidays!

One that I used was picturing the angles as a bunch of pencils on the table. Then I looked for which pencil was sharpest (smallest angle)

That's quite useful, what about for obtuse angles? I can't adapt to the hill or laptop technique...):

I liked the laptop method, I even used it for the rotated angles.

One other one I tried was pretending they were slides (sliding down the inside of the angle). The faster you would slide, the smaller the angle. I didn't like thus one but it may work for you

TBH, Angles aren't as hard on the real thing as Bootcamp. Have you tried doing Kaplan's Angles? The real ones are similar to those, in my opinion! Also download the Angle ranking app on your phone and practice on your down time...pretty fun actually!

The best method and by far the most time effective method is the rapid eye movement method. Seriously when you get good at it, you will start getting almost everything right.

Ohhh maybe I'll try the slide one

Nope I haven't looked into the Kaplan Angles. I do have the review book for it though. But are you talking about the one online or the book?

It's always a hit or miss with it. And it's difficult for me for angles above 80.

Im talking about the book. It should have like ~30 questions or so.

I like the grapple technique.

Also, i kind of developed a head nod technique that kind of helps.

I used both to a decent success and I wasn't getting better until I did the above
