Paper Folding?

Quick question about the paper folding questions on the PAT:

When presented with the unfolded paper, do we fold INTO the page or OUT of the page. For instance, on the practice DAT given by the ADA, the answer to #90 could be either B if folded INTO the page or D when folded OUT of the page. Since ADA lists the answer as B, do we fold every figure INTO the page? So far in all my practice tests, I've been doing both to try to find a correct answer. 😱 😕

always fold it INTO the page

Whew, thanks for the response. No wonder why it takes me so long to do paper folding -- I basically fold both ways in my head for each possible answer.

raya23, have you taken the DAT and noticed any that required to fold OUT of the page.. or is this "always fold INTO the page" an unwritten rule? 🙂

i knew that you have to fold into the page before i took my dat...it's written in the kaplan blue book

Really? Where? 😕

You have to fold away from the paper. Folding into the paper leaves the shape on the inside of the object. You want the design facing outward.

Ahhhh... so only one side has the design printed on it!

That makes it so much clearer..... thanks alot! 🙂
