Need some help on PAT
Started by archonsbk
Not really sure about the parts you're having problems with. But the Angle Ranking on the DAT was much harder than any of the practice tests I've taken. All 4 angles look EXACTLY the same.
Practice, practice, practice! If you do enough problems, they will start to become second nature.
If you need study aids, Barron's PAT section is good, Kaplan blue book is okay, and Crack the PAT seems to be good based on others' reviews (I didn't use it).
Crack DAT PAT is by far the best program I've used! If you practice and practice on the Crack DAT PAT, youll do fine on the actual exam. Angles are pretty hard on the real test. Top/Front/End sometimes takes the longest but try and get those down, it just takes a lot of repitition but there is hope, that used to be my hardest section and after enough studying, it just clicked! I was then getting consistent 14/15 and 15/15 on top/front/end, before that I was getting 6/15's!

I agree. Practicing with Crack PAT definitely would help you on the perceptual part of the exam. Angles are often "hit or miss" on the test. Sometimes the angles have such a small difference that it is hard to tell. Some ppl actually hold up the whiteboard to compare angles, but I have not done that personally. (Just be sure not to touch the screen!!) For Top/front/end, there is a definite strategy of counting the dotted and solid lines. But really all of it is practice practice practice! Oh and if you do get Crack PAT, don't worry if you get lower scores than you expected. I was consistently getting 18's and 19's but got a 24 on the real test. I wish you the best of luck!
