when you do hole punching,

should i practice with a pen and scratch paper and draw out the holes on a makeshift drawn paper??

or practice with the dry erase board? when i do practice with the erase board, it's hard to erase everytime bc my finger gets so dirty!!! but if i do it on paper, i'd have to redraw the lines everytime.....

Also, on test day, do you get to choose scratch paper or a dry erase board?

The actual test is dry erase, so you're better off using that and making a big grid where you can just erase your punch holes for each question to save time. On CDP there is a whole tutorial on setting up grids and other things on your scratch sheet to save time.

FYI the actual test is not dry erase anymore. It is a permanent marker.

How I went from being terrible at hole punch to it being my quickest, easiest section was to realize how important lines of symmetry are. This I figured out from doing lots of problems. For example, your final answer has to have symmetry with your first fold. That alone eliminated 2 or 3 answers on every problem on my real DAT in about 2 seconds.
