I see that some people say that BC is all you need for the PAT section, but I don't see how. All BC has are question generators and exams. There are a few videos. I don't see how that is all you can use.

Should I purchase CRACKDATPAT? Or am I just missing something on BC?

Others may disagree, but I regret buying the 10 CDP tests.. If I had known bootcamp was coming out with 5 new tests and the generators I wouldn't have bothered. The only extra thing CDP offers are some video explanations, but that's with their most expensive package (can't comment on how good they are). Personally, I think the bootcamp explanations for keyhole and pattern folding are very helpful. If you still have trouble with PAT there are always youtube tutorials.

I was in the opposite boat as you.. I only used CDP and the basic review in the KBB. I think for the PAT you just need to find a strategy for each section and just power through as many practice problems as you can under timed conditions.

And I totally agree with kms100 about the youtube tutorials!

You are going to find people who scoring well who used either or and both software. Like @kmjonatha says, figure out your strat, and I would say take it one step further and test it against different dialects of PAT. I exposed myself to 5 different dialects of PAT(BCfreeTest,QVfreeTest,CDP, Topscore, Ach), and 6 if you count the actual 2007 exam. If you don't have the funds, then make the most out of what you do have and you will be fine.

I've read some comments on this forum suggesting not to get that package. They said the lady who talks in those videos is very annoying lol. I started out using CDP with the most basic PAT package of 10 tests and I thought it was a good way of getting understanding how the PAT section works. I only took the first 7 PAT tests on CDP then moved onto bootcamp. Just fyi, some exams on CDP are too easy (like exam 5-6). If you get very high scores on those two exams, don't be surprised.

So should I just stick to Bootcamp? I already bought bootcamp. Is CDP worth for me to buy on top of BC?

The only thing I used for the PAT section was Bootcamp. The key hole was harder than anything I saw on the actual test and it gives you awesome 3D explanations to really help out. I thought that prepared me more than anything.

No. CDP too easy. Bootcamp is harder

Thank you!!

for angle ranking, i am getting the two inner numbers wrong

for example 2<3<1<4 is what i would answer
but the answer would be 2<1<3<4 and it is making me so mad!
I know BC went down to 3 degrees i believe? But what can i do to help that?
