DAT PAT Skipping Sections

Hello,

I recently read somewhere that the exam overview locks up until you hit the last question. Is this true?

For example, would I be able to immediately skip to the angle section on the PAT first, or would I have to click the next button to question 31? Then when I hit question 90, the overview is unlocked?

(Also, how are the angles on Bootcamp compared to the real dat?)

Thanks.

@Schaf77 Angles on DAT Bootcamp are more difficult than the ones on the actual DAT (in my experience) but they train you for the hardest problems on angle ranking you will encounter. My screen that I practiced on at home was smaller than the one at the testing center and I felt that the bigger screen made the angles easier than my practice test. I did not have any problem with freezing, I went through my test, marked what I could, then when back at the review and looked over my marked or incomplete answers.

Yes, unfortunately on the real DAT you won't have access to the Review button until after you go through all the questions. So if you want to skip to the angle section, you have to click Next to get to question 31. Once you go through the entire exam, then the Review button becomes available, and you can skip around easy.

Thanks @HelicaseInitiator and @Ari Rezaei . Also do you guys know if you can write on the laminated sheets during the tutorial?

No problem! It depends on your Prometric center, some of them allow you to write during the tutorial, others not. You should ask your proctor if it's allowed to be safe.

Mine did not allow me to write during the tutorial.

Don't bank on being able to write during your tutorial - as said, it varies center to center

My proctor told me prior that no writing was allowed during tutorial, had to also immediately click the ok button after science section too

Should I waste time reading directions on the PAT or skip it and just begin??
