PAT Critiquing

I just took my first Crack PAT exam and got a 16. Im extremely mad because I did horrible on the T/F/E section (2/15). I know this means I should focus on this portion more than the others, as well as the other two sections I am not so strong at. I received 14/15 for cubes, 10/15 for pattern folding, and 10/15 for keyholing, 7/15 for angles, and 6/15 for hole punching. I basically marked all the TFE questions and went back to them at the end with around 2-3 minutes left. Is a 16 even respectable for a CD PAT exam considering they are known to be harder? I need some critiquing.

TFE is something that isn't too hard to get better at. i was awful at it in the beginning but now i'm getting 12 out of 15 consistently. watch condogs videos and the try to use the line counting trick. it should increase your score dramatically. good luck

line counting trick:
top vertical lines equal front vertical lines
front horizontal lines equal end horizontal lines
front horizontal lines equal end vertical lines

by using this, it will narrow down your answers and you could just use your perceptual ability to figure it out. sometimes the line counting method will give you the answer right away.

Did you mean Top horizontal lines equal end vertical lines?
