Guys,
Ive just got done with a practive PAT using TopScore (scored a 21). I am using a Samsung 191t LCD at 1280x1024. On the angel ranking it seems I am almost able to cheat by observing the "jaggies". This may seem confusing but sometimes the "jaggies" are more closely spaced together; indicating a steeper line. When applicable this can really help.
My question is on the test monitors is this equally noticable? What resolution are they using?
Example:

/

I can count 6 individual breaks in the above slash.

Sorry for the wierd question, I really dont use drugs...

yes i know what you are talking about. Sometimes this can prove useful. Test center res is 1024 x 768 on 17" curved monitors.

Its called pixelation, and yes, you can expect to somewhat use this to your advantage. Remember, you are under a time limit to complete 90 questions in 60 minutes so counting pixels might not be to efficient. More power to you if you can work that strategy to your advantage. Also, you are not allowed to touch the screen, and I have heard of test administrators looking through the glass and yelling at people that are too close to the monitor. Nonetheless, those are awesome practice scores and I am confident that you will do very well come test day. Good luck!!
