To me this is the worst section on the DAT. I can't really see how the problems work How to enhance my visual perception skills??

Practice is all you need. You'll see a huge improvement within a week or two. In my case, I saw improvement within a week. Use whatever PAT prep you can get your hands on. That's what I did. Good luck!

Practice is the key 👍

Purchase Crack DAT PAT (CDP) and work through their practice tests. It has been wonderful for me so far. I also started out having a lot of trouble with PAT, but going through CDP and reading peoples' advice on this site (God bless SDN) really helped me get better at PAT.

When I first started using CDP, I was getting around 18, and it was still hard. But after practicing with multiple tests, I started scoring around 20 and 21 by test #6. It just starts to "click" after some time....trust me.

From what I hear, keyholes on CDP are easier than the actual DAT, but hole-punching is harder on CDP...so I guess it evens out. I take my DAT in about 9 days, so I can't tell you for sure how it compares to the actual thing...I'm just relaying what I've heard from others. Good luck to you! Just keep practicing, and you'll be just fine.

I would read this

I didn't even know how to approach most of the problems unit I read this. I went from a 15-20 on cdp just by reading it.

Crack Dat PAT and this thing: http://woodgears.ca/eyeball/index.html

CDP has really great solutions so you'll see exactly where you make mistakes.

The eye-balling game is really good to prepare you for angle ranking.

For hole punching you can make a 4x4 table (CDP comes with a little print out sheet). This way you can mark holes as you mentally unfold the paper and never lose track of where the holes go.

I took my first one and got a pathetic 16, I couldn't time myself and skipped 29/90, and only got 48 correct questions. I just took my second one and scored 18 getting 54 correct, and running out of time for 10 of them.

Good luck!
