So I figured out how to review all the sections except for the PAT. When I go back in, there are no buttons to click on that say show solution or anything. I thought there were explanations for the PAT. Or do I just have to print out my answers and figure it out myself? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Oh great, what a valuable resource! 🙄 Thanks for the help!

thats what I said when I realized there were no explanations. But if its any consolation, the topscore PAT was an accurate representation of what you can expect on the real thing. So if you are scoring between 19-22 on the topscore PAT sections, you are in good shape for the real PAT.

Seriously? That makes me feel a little better. I've been doing pretty well on their PAT. Much better than on Achiever!

Topscore also seems like it contains alot of erros. I have spent nice amounts of time on some of keyhole questions and am pretty sure there is no correct answer for some of them. Ex. On some of the questions the specific shape of the answer choices eliminate basically all but one choice, and that one is too out of proportion to be correct. I think achiever probably used better technology putting the PAT together - instead of just MSpaint.

Which numbers are you thinking of (that don't seem to have an answer)? I thought the PAT drawings were reasonable. They just reused shapes throughout all 3 exams... (but never the same answer, so you'd still have to think it through).

Yes, that's exactly what I thought! I did Achiever first, and they are really nitpicky with proportion, object angles, and other subtle nuances. I liked it because it really made me pay attention. Then I get to Topscore (I've done two of them now), and I swore up and down that there were no truly correct answers for a few of them. I managed to pick what I thought they were looking for and I was right, but after Achiever, I thought there was no way those answers were correct. Sorry, fsapien, I don't remember particular #'s right now, but if I see anymore on the next one I'll let you know.
