I completed 3 CDP tests and averaging around 17-18, which is horrible. My holdup is on sections such as TFE and Hole Punching. A lot of times I would have to pick and answer and mark a bunch of these questions so I would have adequate time for Cube Counting and Pattern Folding. My Keyholes and Pattern Folding are where they need to be and Cube Counting is almost there. Angles I'm doing bad in...I don't think I hit 10 out of 15 yet. My vision is horrible.

I don't know how to speed up on these sections. Line Counting with TFE doesn't help much and I feel like I need to do all the unfolding with CDP Hole Punching...

How do you guys manage your time with these sections?

For this section, practice makes perfect.

Do those CDP problems again and don't worry about the time. Just make sure that you understand the problem. Overtime, you will develop "PAT" skills and increase your speed.
 
So did CDP 4, my hole punching improved drastically! It was hovering around 5-7 to now 12. My Cube Counting and Pattern Folding are around the same. Killing Keyholes. Averaging around 13-15 but I know DAT will be harder.

Angles are frustrating!! Are you guys seeing the same results?

Also, my TFE is still pretty low at around 6-8. I watched condog videos, but were there any other resources that help boost up your score? I need help with the visualization and understanding of the solide and dotted lines...

Go to you tube, then type: condog51 This guy has about 10 videos that explains a lot of PAT stuff He got a 25 and his videos are free right now. I downloaded all of them on Real Player. Check it out, you'll be amazed

haha, thanks man I actually looked at them before I started CDP. I might have to look over a few again.
