Hi, all!

I was practicing PAT and got stumped on 3 key hole problems. I have the solutions but don't understand how to look at these. If you understand it, would you walk me through them?

I've attached it as a Word Doc because I didn't know how to make it appear as an image directly onto my thread. Thank you in advance!

Remember Someone told you about imageshack.us website take a screenshot and upload it to that website and copy the code and paste its very simple. To take screen shots i recommend screen hunter. Once you take the screen shot and upload it to that website... it will generate forum code, copy it and paste it in here... it just makes it easy for everyone to look at it... instead of each person downloading the file. You expect ~200 + who view the forum to download the file lol. anyways i did this one b/c is my first lol... Good luck

I'd go with A/D/D on those, but yeah, what Tinman said. What the deuce?? Actual test won't have anything so spatial 😵

Really? Have you taken the DAT already? I hope you're right, but I have no idea how the answer is what it is. If anyone wants the answers, PM me and I'll tell you.

I didn't include the solutions so that those who do figure it out can explain their thought process without being influenced by the answers and working backwards.

Thanks! I downloaded screenshot...so now I'll try to save it as jpeg from the word doc because imageshack only upload "jpg" and similar formats.

I was told to paste the image onto MS Paint then "save as" jpg. Haven't tried it so I'll give it a try.

Thanks for posting the image for me!🙂

I chose A on the first question. The three radial bars on the left and right side project outward with the center piece longer than the other two. This seems to cause an indentation of the same width within the medial border of each side, so I eliminate B, D & E. C can be eliminated because the figure should also have a vertical profile at the superior side. It would be easier for me to conclude if I had a higher-res picture to look at.

I guess at D for #2 from eyeballing the perspective on the cubes, not to mention B & C do not seem feasible and A & E are the same image rotated 180 degrees

If you look down the center, common intersected sphere, the wires will make a cross pattern. From each "spoke," following the wire to its end is a sphere, and before and after that terminal end are two overlapping spheres that will look like one in profile. That should make a pattern like the one shown in D.

Yes, I have taken my DAT already, and there weren't objects like this. You'll never see so many free-floating objects as in #2, and you would be given a better perspective for an object like in #1
