well im using the same program and my PAT isnt much better after two practice tests, im only getting 18's so far. But, I usually get all of the hole punching ones right. The first thing I do is look at the first fold, it creates a line of symmetry. The answer choice must be symmetrical along the line where the paper was first folded. This alone should clear a few answer choices which arent symmetrical. Next, you can count the layers of papers as they are folded... if a hole is punched in a place with three layers there will only be three holes. Look at answer choices. Hopefully you eliminated all but one or two now. from there i look at how the answer choices differ and try to see how the holes can/cannot be punched in the area they differ. basically use test taking stratagies and look at the answer choices. hope that helped...
now my turn, haha. anyone have stratagies for the lock and key or the TFE (which im terribly slow at)? how much time do people spend on those two sections?? thanks in advance
