I need your help with Angles..please?
Started by failedmagician
There's no trick actually, at least none that worked for me. There's the hill, the laptop etc. but really it's just practice and test-taking strategy. Eliminate the ones you can and guess if you must.
I don't have any tricks for angles. I am searching old posts and everything and nothing has really helped me yet. What's the best method? What did you do? Help!
At a difference of 4 degrees, angles are very hard to tell apart it just takes practice. And remember to use CDP on a crappy monitor for practice because most likely thats what you're gonna be using on the real test
what if your center has a flat screen should you practice the whole entire thing on it, or it only effects the angle section?
Are all the prometric centers the same as far as computer screens (crt vs. lcd)? or should I just call the center and ask? thanks
I've heard from a couple of people (and read on this forum) that for the smaller angles a good strategy is to look at the point of the angle. The darker it looks, the smaller the angle. On some practice problems I have seen, this seems to work fairly well on angles less than 1/5 radian or so.

This only works on paper, to my knowledge, due to ink bleeding. On any computer screen that's not fuzzy as hell, you should have distinct pixels at the vertex that prevent this trick from working.
Is this allowed on the DAT? I would think it isn't.
I don't actually stick my pen on the screen, I line it up from a distance, so that it looks as if the pen is right next to my line. You have to line it up so that it is right next to the line (meaning there is no space between the line and the pen, but the pen is not covering up the line either)

I just posted a threat asking about whether that is allow. I did not think that something like that is problematic, but if it is please let me know!!! I have no intention of cheating!
