DAT PAT learning curve

So I am a little worried that the PAT section seems to have a really shallow learning curve. In other words, I am improving way faster on this section that I thought I would and I am psyching myself out a little because of this.

I see all these posts on SDN about the PAT section and it seems like a really hard part of the test to master, plus I am a female and I have heard that women tend to score lower on this on average.

Has anyone had the experience of really rapid improvement, and if so is there are a point where your improvement really started to plateau?

Just to be clear, you're worried that you're improving too quickly in a section of the DAT?

Second the question above - what resources are you practicing with? Some are more challenging than others.

Nah I think you are fine. Keep doing what you are doing.

Ps females just as capable as men on all dat sections

On another note, what resources are you using to practice the PAT? (Some generate easier patterns than others).

I'm using the PAT materials on DAT Bootcamp

Everyone is different. I hated PAT, but others barely studied and got a score 6 points higher than mine. If you are doing well on bootcamp, you will do well on the real thing

that's nothing more than a good sign. Keep on practicing!
