for those who have taken the test, can we drag the mouse onto the part of the screen where the figures are located??

Yes you can!
nice!! im working on this mouse technique for angles, and im quite pleased with the results thus far!!!!
If it turns out to be a hit can you link where you found the technique or briefly explain...thanks

Agreed! I would love to know the technique please 🙂 any help would be appreciated
i kinda stumbled across this technique today while trying to figure out a way to utilize the mouse while ranking angles. after watching ross' pat videos on angle ranking, he mentioned that when ranking angles that are close to 90 degrees (or 180) try to envision and actual line that makes a right angle and compare the other line to that line . Do this for the 2 angles in question and for whichever one the deviation from that "imaginary line" is greater is the smaller angle... I had trouble envisioning this imaginary line so what i started to do was use the mouse to move in a straight line as if i were making a right angle up until the end point of the other line, take a mental snap shot of the distance and repeat the process for the other angle you are comparing it with. this worked, but two problems, how do u know you are drawing a straight line with your mouse and how do you know your making an exact 90 degree angle. Firstly, i do my studying on a mac and the mousepad is super sensitive so at first i was having alot of trouble drawing a strait line, but i found that if a mouse is used (which will be on test day) and if there is a strait edge (your marker on test day) a straight line can be draw very precisely. Now for the second problem, how to draw a perfect 90 degree angle, well i think this comes down to practice, and i beleive that with practice a 90 degree angle (or one close enough for the purposes of this situation) can be drawn. Again THIS IS NOT TO SAY IT WILL WORK FOR YOU!! But.... ive been working on it for 3 hours today, my angle ranking on crack dat is usually around a 8-9/15 and i havnt gotten anything less that an 11 after taking 4 tests.. So, i will keep trying this cuz at this point i have exhausted all other options for angle ranking and hopefully itll work on D-DAY
