So, this one kind of freaked me out. I took the first test on Achiever and got an 18 on PAT.

I had 22 on Kaplans textbook and 24 on the sample exam off the ada.org.

The keyhole section was fairly difficult for me, but I noticed a new element to the 'hole-punching' section that I hadn't seen in either Kaplans or ADA's sample.

Kaplans and ADA contained:
the paper folded at 1/4 and/or 1/2 markers linearly,
the paper folded from corner either to mid point of page, or completely across.

DAT achiever contained:
the above +
paper folded from the corner to 3/4 across the page.



So in short, I'm not sure if this element, that is there in DAT achiever (but not Kaplan nor ADA's sample), of 'paper-folding' is on the actual DAT.

Can anyone that has taken the actual DAT shine light on this matter?
