Paper technique for angle ranking

[predentalstudent9]

Hello,

I read on some of the threads that some people use the paper the testing center gives you to put it on the screen to help them during the angle ranking section. I was wondering what technique this is? How can you utilize paper to see which angle is smaller/bigger?

Thanks!

Depends on the testing center, I asked the staff at my place and surprisingly they were ok with it...

Try the protractor method works great

Not really, I practiced without touching the screen and didn't want to waste time trying a new strategy on the test.

What's the method for it? Like what do you do with the paper to figure out the angles?

What's the protractor method?

It's where you sneak a protractor into the testing room inside your pants and then place it against the screen when the security team isn't looking so that you can measure the angles correctly. Accuracy is almost 99% guaranteed if you use this method.

Sounds totally worth it if you're caught....

That's TERRIFYING....when I did the angle ranking when I took the DAT I was ALL OVER the screen. Nobody came

Edit: Just read that you were being sarcastic -__-

Haha I was kidding about the protractor thing, but some testing centers WILL throw you out. It all depends on the location. You'd think things would be standardized at this point.

If you check out page 3 of this DAT report, they actually mention an incident where an examinee folded the paper. That person was removed from the test and had to wait a full year to retake the test, so I wouldn't risk it even though other people got away with it: http://www.ada.org/~/media/ADA/Education and Careers/Files/dat_2013_news_updated.pdf?la=en

They have gotten very strict over the years. Before they changed to dry erase boards they used to give paper and pencil A student told me he sharpened his pencil to a very sharp point and put it to the screen for angle ranking. Now make one false move and it could end in disaster.

Good luck to everyone studying..

You just have to figure it out... There aren't any *tricks* that are worthwhile
