I took the DAT a couple days ago, and breezed past the hole punching section using my method. It allowed me to use all the extra time for some of the harder sections like the pattern folding or TFE section.

For those who have trouble with hole punching or just want to do them faster - I made a video explaining my way of doing punching problems on the DAT. I tried to explain it the best I could, and hope it isn't too confusing.



Edit. (Feb 14 2017) : Re-posted original Hole punching video. Link above

Good Bless you! I used your method for one CDP test and got 10/15 (i ran out of time since I needed to get the hang of your method)

But i think with practice i can get a 15/15 on this part. THANK YOU AND YOUR METHOD IS PERFECT

YOU ARE AMAZING! This really helped, at first I couldn't follow but after doing some practice problems on my own I LOVE this method. Thanks for saving my PAT score!

I will take my first post on SDN to tell you how grateful I am for your LOS method. Now I can sleep.

Hey, the video has been removed. I bookmarked it planning to watch re-watch it when my DAT was near, does anyone have it downloaded or an alternative link? Or maybe a copy of the notes written in the video? I would be very appreciative if someone would pm me. Thank you!

These videos are very informative, and I find the first one you linked to be the most helpful, but the process of following the steps listed in the original video were best suited for how I'd like to tackle hole-punching problems. Especially when it comes to half-hole punches which give me the most trouble. Following the procedures originally listed in the video helped me get through any problem when I first watched it. Now that it's been a while, and I can't for the life of me remember the specifics.

Unfortunately I don't think the video is up anymore. I did find this youtube video from az that helped me because I was absolutely clueless about hole punching (scored less than 50% on the section).

Maybe it's the browser you're using? I'm on Chrome. Try clicking the "Watch on Youtube" link at the bottom of the video. It'll redirect you to the site itself.

Oops, I misunderstood. I can't run the original xJtrandx video. I meant that the videos on Page 2 were all working.

Ok, I think I did the wrong problem


Using the same numbered grid,

1/2/3/4
5/6/7/8
9/10/11/12
13/14/15/16

For question 4, a hole is punched originally on 7. It then gets reflected down to 11. Ok, in the next step, the line of symmetry would be a diagonal line going from left to right. Thus, the x from 7 would get reflected to 13, and the x from 11 would get reflected to 14. In the last step, the line of symmetry is the big diagonal line going from the top left to the bottom right. the x from 13 would get reflected to 4, the x from 14 would get reflected to 8. The x on 7 would get deleted since it is on open space, and the x on 11 would remain there since it is on the line of symmetry. Doest that help? Let me know if you still don't get it.

Guys, where do you get these questions from? From which tests? Can you post a photo of that question please.
