Cube Counting Format

[deleted675533]

Just a quick question on how the cube counting section is set up on the real DAT. On several practice tests I have taken, a specific figure is shown and that same figure is used for the next several questions. This makes the tallying method an efficient way to quickly answer these questions. Is this the way the real DAT is set up? Or is there a different figure for each question? Thanks!

In many cases, the same figure will be used for multiple questions.

There will (likely) be 2-4 questions per figure on the real DAT. So yes, the tally method is the best approach.

I'd agree with the posters above!!

This was actually one my favorite subtests.

Yup! You'll have 5 or 6 figures and each figure will most likely have 2+ questions. Most will have 3 questions. Aim for nothing shy of 15/15 on this section. Use the tally method and go quickly, but not too quick that you make silly mistakes. I counted everything twice just to be 100% certain.
