Don't just practice, but you need to develop a certain strategy to approach each section of the PAT
It took me a while to realize that PAT is essentially like a game of chess; you don't need to be naturally good in order to do extremely well. For me, I always create a mental picture from the original shape for each individual side without looking at the answer choice first, then eliminate the ones that don't fit.

It's OK to get problems wrong as long as you learn from them. Examine each problem and see what went wrong in each one. Essentially, the keyhole section comes down to this strategy:
-Look at the first answer choice
-Try to figure out which side the answer choice matches up with to the original shape (top, front, right end, back, bottom, or left end).
-Go feature by feature, piece by piece, in the answer choice and match it up with the original shape. If there is an inconsistency, eliminate the answer choice.
-Rinse and repeat until you only have one answer choice left.
