I don't know how to really insert the picture, but if anyone knows question 75 on the test 1 on pat. let me know.. I can't really understand the cubes, they are misleading i guess.😱

Is that one of those "illusion" questions?? if so, you do not need to know how to do them as they will never show up on the DAT.
 
I am not sure if it is.. but yea it looks at it 3 dimenonsinally.. like at at angle,, its strange. Id on't think i saw it the first time i took it.

Look at the answers explained and see if it says illusion there. If it does then you do not need to know it.
 
Ok thanks!! I just did the TFE.. and i got 3 correct. i am freaking out.. I can do most of other pretty well except TFE just kills me, and crack is pretty hard so i guess if i can keep staring at it long enough i might get it.
 
Yea many of them are "illusions" They make sense when you see the answers but the lines can run into each other on crack. Its the only downside to an otherwise outstanding program!

TFE you have to master on Crack. The TFE on the DAT is exactly the same as Crack. I am pretty sure i got all 15 right on the DAT. Master TFE on crack and you master TFE on the DAT.
 
Were you good at them to begin with, because other than seeing the explanations I can't picture it. I only have taken the first one though. but thanks for the input. Am going to try my hardest to get it down.

Nope i sucked at them when i first started. With practice though i got better at them and began to understand what each line represented.
 
Ok.also i guess you would know whether we can point our finger and count the cubes during the test, i have read many threads discussing it but evyerone is arguing and it varies, but I usuallycount the cubes and then asnwer the questions. So can you point or not?
 
Well i don't think that one should be too hard. I just use the kaplan method of making 2 columns:

10 cubes:

# of sides l # of cubes

0 l 0
1 l 0
2 l 1
3 l 4
4 l 3
5 l 2


that is what i had for for the cube counting on my first PAT test for Crack DAT
