Hey everyone!

So for PAT I'm planning on using dat bootcamp since it has all the generators and a lot of practice exams. Is crack dat pat worth getting too? If so, which package would you recommend?

Any advice helps! Thanks in advance!

Idk if the cost includes alternative explanations, but I only remember the explanations being written (did 1 BC free test). Even if you had achiever, CDP has something that other software doesn't test efficiently: angles. CDP helped me foundation-wise and helped me master angles. People will claim you don't need things, but you have to be the judge yourself when it comes down to it. If you can get 18+ consistently with BC then I'd say no. If you get less than 18+ consistently on BC PAT then I would consider other practice

If you have time to slowly master PAT, then I'd get the most expensive package since I'm currently using the Ace Edition (middle package?) and it has image explanations but not VIDEO explanations. I'd bet that the video explanations would help a lot, but I'm usually able to find my own mistakes. If you're cramming, I'd suggest getting the second package, which does not include the video explanations.
 
Yes, crackdat is more accurate for keyhole (though bootcamp is useful here too to see the "length" problems ) and hole punching. Bootcamp is much more accurate for pattern folding.
 
Never tried bootcamp. Got 23 on PAT alone with CDP 10 tests version so you might want to check that out. It never hurts to have more study materials given that the PAT section isn't something that you can master by memorizing.
 
Ok so I would recommend both tools to study with, however if you have just enough money to buy one then I would recommend BC over CDP I got a 16 on my first PAT from just using CDP but got a 20 on my latest PAT with BC. However, I do want to say that I rarely did use the CDP software before I took my first DAT. But overall BC PAT questions are harder than the real DAT so it will be a better prep good luck...

Oh and the keyholes on BC are extra hard so if you get alot wrong in the beginning its ok because you will be that much better on the real exam. CDP keyholes are more representative of the exam.
 
Could anyone tell me how the problems are set up for crack dat pat? Is it like bootcamp with the generators?

Its a very well set up software in my opinion. Looks very similar to the actual DAT.....you can choose to do a full test or just a section (holepunch TFE etc)
