I have been practising Pat for about a week now and not getting a hang of it. Specifically 2 sections, (top,front end) and Pattern Foldings. I mean I am only getting about 6-7 right out of 15 everytime on these two sections. I am taking test in 20 days and I feel really good with All other parts of DAT except for PAT. Is this normal or People get like 90% questions right. I have been using Barron's and Kaplan for the PAt. Is there any tips that could help me with these to sections. I have seen people say that real PAt is harder than Kaplan. I am having problem with Kaplan. I am kind of getting nervus about DAT just becasue of PAT.

Practice is the key. For me, I went to my college library and got a intro to engineering text book (they had dozens). That book had hundreds of 3-d objects with their top-front-end drawings. So, I just practiced drawing all of the different sides for the 3-d objects. After doing about 100, I felt like I could draw any object. This strategy also made me more proficient at keyholes and at pattern-folding. The top-front-end drawings are things that they teach high schoolers in entry-level drafting courses how to do. So, you really ought to be able to pick up on this stuff with some practice.

Thanks Javed for your reply,
I am pretty sure that my school library will have those kinds of books. Thanks I am going to my library and get it. I was just wonding how to make my search easy for this book. What are the keaywords did you use when you were searching the catalog. Thanks for your help. I didn't go to HS in US and I never took any class like that or played videogames and may be that explains my difficulty.
