Is TFE on DAT just as easy as CDP?

Hello everyone! my DAT is comming up in less than 3 weeks and words can't describe how stressed I am right now. I just started doing PAT stuff, I always found myself very weak at TFE when doing some of the kaplan practice questions (which are considered to be too easy). I bought CDP and have done the first two tests. On the TFE i scored 14/15 on the first one and 15/15 on the second one. Are the DAT questions just like these practice ones or should I not be too confident?

If so I'm going to go on and invest more time on hole punching (holy crap these are hard!) and Angles I've been getting 3 and 5 wrong on these respectively. Does anyone have any good tips for angles and hole punching?

I'm sorry I don't have an answer to your original question, but I have been doing very well on hole-punching (its worked so far with Kaplan, Topscore, and Barron's) just by quickly sketching a 4x4 grid and marking the spaces where the holes are punched. It will help you keep track of the holes, and most of the time you will be able to eliminate many (if not all) the incorrect choices without even completing the grid.

I also make a grid for hole punching... works every time. There are only so many folds that can be made so you will have it down in no time. It is ALL about symmetry. Just remember for each fold that some holes that you put down may not be there anymore when unfolding.

I heard TFE is similar to CDP... I don't remember though.

Some people imagine the angle is a nose, then rank them small to large... some people imagine it as a lap top opened at different angles... and some people pretend it is a hill and you would determine which would seem steeper if you rode a bike down it or something. Some people will tell you to sit close to the computer, some people will tell you to lean back to you can look at them all at the same time. You will just have to practice and figure out what works best for you. I think just about everyone tries to find the largest and smallest angles and sees if that knocks out any of the answers. Hope any of these help... I don't think angles are anyones' friend...

The Dat TFE i a drop easier than CDP. If you are getting 14/15 or 15/15 on CDP you are golden for the DAT.
