Doing PAT in certain order?

[DocDoon]

Hey guys,

Anybody recommend a certain order to do the PAT questions in? Should I start with the questions I feel like I'm best at?

Ehh not really! On the exam, you get the review button after you are done with the questions. You don't want to sit there and press the skip button until you get to hole punching section. That's just wasting time.

I always left angles for last because they go the fastest. If I got stuck on one I wouldn't waste time second guessing because I would be forced to move on and finish the section on time.

Do whatever you think works best for you. I personally did all the questions I was strongest in first so that I can atleast get all the easy points.

I also left the angles section for last because I knew I would be second guessing my answers, and the stress would add onto the stress of thinking there would be no time left for the other sections.

You should definitely start with the areas you're most comfortable, allowing yourself more time for the difficult questions.

You don't have to hit the "skip" button to advance to further questions. You can hit the review button and jump to any numbered question.

I suggest picking your desired order, then start practicing just PAT in that order. Be sure to get comfortable with the buttons!

I personally jumped straight to angles (question #31) and finished out all the remaining sections, so hole punching, cube counting, and pattern folding. This left me with key holes and TFE for last and I usually had about 30 min to perform these two sections and review any marked answers!

Best of luck!

You were able to use the review button from the get go? I never had that luxury 🙁

Yea, and for all sections (science, reading, etc.) im sorry to hear you weren't able to! It's weird how the tests vary!

For all sections?! Oh no! Good to hear that you had it. I'm sure it helped.

I took it in April, so it's been just over a month.

I skipped key holes, did angles first and continued in sequence...and in the end did keyholes.
made a 23.
