I have been trying to improve my PAT scores.

I have been doing Crack DAT PAT, and my scores are


Test 1: 22
Test 2: 20
Test 3: 20
Test 4: 22
Test 5: 25 (Hopefully it's not because of the difficulty in the tests....)
Test 6: 26
Test 7: 25
Test 8: 23
Test 9: 25
Test 10: 25

Then I couldn't find any good sources so I started redoing some of the tests since I can't really memorize the questions and answers for a PAT test.

Test 5: 26
Test 6: 23
Test 10: 25
Test 6: 23
Test 6: 26
Test 7: 23
Test Random: 22 (to be fair, I chose random test and all the cube counting questions used different diagrams.....so I had to count 15 different cubes)
Test 8: 23



The reason I am still looking for more PAT practice is though, is because I feel like I am exhausting all my PAT practice options and I want to have other options to continue practicing. Also, I am terrible at angle ranking (on my best day, I miss three. On my worst, eight. For the 25, 26 PAT scores, I missed all my answers from the angle ranking section!)

So far I have tried qvault PAT and Ross's test, and they were both unsatisfying. I found errors in both their test and it wasn't the difficulty but the errors that frustrated me. There were some questions that looked like they were just not solvable to me. Maybe I was just having a tough day or maybe I do need more practice to get better. But anyways...

Do you guys have any recommendations?

Thank you in advance!
 
Achiever. Harder than the real deal, but gives you a great idea of the type of keyholes and TFE they'll ask.

Angles are a b**** no matter how you slice it.
 
Are there errors in the achiever tests?
I ask bcuz i hear that qvault pat is horrendously fulled with errata

As Yankem said, definitely check out Achiever. To my knowledge, I haven't encountered any errors. They have great software for the solutions which allows you to see the objects in 3D and rotate them any which way. With TFE, they even show you images of the correct answer and the incorrect answers. Achiever really forces you to think spatially so that you are well-equipped to answer challenging questions. They also prepare you for the weird folds in hole-punching as well as help you realize the importance of proportions and spatial relationships in the keyhole and pattern-folding sections.
 
The Achiever PAT is insanely difficult. The highest I ever scored on it was a 17. I was scoring 22s on CDP. I scored an 18 on the real thing - but felt like I did better than that.

So, while difficult, I suppose Achiever is more in line with the real thing. But I think their pattern folding and apertures are over the top in difficulty. I think it's great to try stuff that's more challenging than the real exam, but some of those questions were incredibly hard.
