The DATAchiever PAT section seems to have "half holes" in the whole punching section, but I was told during Kaplan that there would be none of these on the test.

Anybody know the answer to this? 😕
 
Partial holes may appear on folds lying underneath the last or top fold. I had 2 or more questions of this kind on my PAT. They should not bother you much for as long as you are able to trace the punch position(s) as you unfold the paper.

There'll be one or two questions on the real thing where a very tiny fold (1/8th of the entire piece I suppose) will precede the final 1/2 or 1/4 fold. While holes may appear complete on the top layer, they may have created half holes on those tiny creases.

Just expect to see some of those questions on the actual PAT and make sure you get this supposedly easier section nailed 15/15.

They are on there. There are only just fewer on the real deal. However, if you can do DAT Achiever, then you are set for the real DAT PAT. On the real PAT, you can easily get 10 right but the other five will make you realize the fine points like three hole punches, crazy folds and half punches.

Real DAT's hole pouch are much easier than DAT achiever. However, I think Views are harder. Angles definitely harer as well.
