PAT some questions

So I have gone through 6 Crack DAT PAT tests and have gotten 20-22 on all of them. My concern is with the top-front-end questions. My strategy is to count how many edges, see the length of object, see width of object, and see if the dotted lines match up depending on which sides are given. I dont actually try to visualize the object at all unless it seems real easy to do. Is there any reason this strategy would not work out on the actual DAT? I guess what i am asking is the real DAT PAT section a lot more difficult than these practice tests? Sorry if this question sounds dumb, i am getting nervous because i only have about 5 days left till the test...

Real DAT has simpler shapes with more lines, so your technique would work fine.

If you're not visualizing the actual object, make sure you pay attention to curves and slopes, as those have both different and similar characteristics to flat sides/squares.
