So i attached it below.
I want to ask you guys that it is really strange that i got 12-13 out of 15 on keyholes of CDP but only 5-6 on Kaplan test. I am really disappointed. I think the perceptual ability test is so much harder than CDP or am i the only one.

Can someone please explain the questions that i attached. I choose B and i think D is impossible because if it is B, there must be 2 sticks on the outside
The second one i am stuck!

that is pretty strange...kaplans PAT is known to be too easy...maybe you're overanalyzing it. i'm sure you're good at keyholes since you were getting 12-13 on cdp. do not doubt your abilities!

 

[drTish]

are the answers A and E?

 

[yakuza]

1. HAS to be B, if not than I don't know what to say

2. E, those two thin plates are connected to the cylinder while the top of the plates are slightly protruding outwards. And they're sticking it in the keyhole from the bottom side (the one facing the ground)

 

[yakuza]

Actually #1, A looks alot better..even though it doesn't exactly fit

Yeah, i choose B and E too but they are all wrong lol. I think Kaplan section test is harder than CDP because you have to focus on the details of the external outline.

A is not right becuase there must be a short flat tone between the triangle and the stick

 

[yakuza]

what are the answers

 

[Albuterol]

...so what are the answers ucla? E and E?

 

[ucla2134]

The answer to the first question is D
The answer to the second question is D

These questions are taking from DAT PAT Section Test B of KAPLAN

 

[Mamona]

If answer B is wrong for the first one I will go with A, even though in my opinion the two column and the pyramid are at the same level.

The second one I will say E

 

[joonkimdds]

1. CDP is one of the easiest PAT material that I found except angle ranking.
2. kaplan = Barron = they don;'t know what they r doing.

 

[ucla2134]

So guys, nobody got the same answer as Kaplan. I strongly think the first question is B, not D. Do you think Kaplan is wrong?

B can't be the answer either.

 

[joonkimdds]

For the first one, it has to be A. The other ones aren't even in the ball park of right. The second one is E. The only "trick" in the second one is to make you believe that the circular part on the keyhole is too tight, but if you look at the actual part of the circle not covered by the 2 parallelograms, you'll see that it's very very little.

A can't be the answer. In fact, there is no answer.

 

[TeamGuo]

no way that the first question is d... that's wack.

I went with A because all the structures are wack... kk

second one doesn't even make sense.

 

[joonkimdds]

I'm just curious. Why can't A be the answer? Other than the slight height discrepancy between the pyramid and two circular shapes, I don't see why not.

height discrepancy between the pyramid and two circular shapes is the reason why it can't be the answer. And the difference is huge.

darn it, i felt like wasting money on Kaplan online course🙁

 

[gppa715]

Question 1 - No answer. I think they made an error while making that question. None of the apertures work. If I'm wrong & someone has an explanation, please feel free to share.

Question 2 - choice D

btw, what does "CDP" stand for? I'd like to get more practices done for PAT. So if you have any recommendation, please feel free to share~

 

[Andre3k]

Those answers have to be wrong.
There is no way possible for the first one to be D. Where are the two poles in D? Honestly none of them fit but A is definitely the closest.

The second one is impossible.

 

[Andre3k]

Explain D for me...

 

[Daydream46]

I totally get D and D...
For 1: I am assuming the cylinders are shorter than the pyramid... they dont quite look like it... but they must be because the others dont make sense

For 2: I get D... not sure how to explain why, but its the only one that works

 

[Daydream46]

height discrepancy between the pyramid and two circular shapes is the reason why it can't be the answer. And the difference is huge.

The figure shows cylinders.. which from the side is square/rectangular.... the round part of A and E are TRAPS... that should eliminate them right off the bat!

 

[Daydream46]

There's no way 1 is D.

no other answer is even close to feasible... if the cylinders are short enough they should disappear behind the pyramid when passed through on an angle (pass the point w/ the cylinder through 1st) A,B,C and E are sooooo far from true D is the only logical answer

I thought Crack PAT definitely had easier (and shadier) keyhole/TFE. Lots of times I felt that they didn't even have the size right, but it had to be the answer because it was the right shape. Crack PAT is really good with challenging hole punching and cube counting though, especially those illusions in some of the cube shapes.

i can see D for the first one. Turn it so one of the corners(without a cylinder) goes through the keyhole first
