I just want to know if any of you actually use shortcuts for the PAT. For the hole punching section...i rip out a square, fold it, and make a big dent with my pencil and I was able to get every question right for this on any practice tests. I guess there are tricks for the angle ranking section also. But don't you have this stuck on the back of your mind while doing other sections, mainly because you know you're taking a shortcut? Do we really need these shortcuts? For those who did not use any shortcuts...what were your scores?

If you are gonna fold a paper for every hole punching question, Im warning you now, you will end up with a 15 on PAT. There is just not enough time for that, and hole punching is one of the easiest sections on the PAT. You should spend like 5-7 minutes on this section. To make it short, there is no shortcut.

The only short cut for the PAT is practice.

PAT come right after science, before RC and QR.

At my center, I could get more paper at any time during the exam as long as I return the paper booklet I had. Basically I could only use one booklet at a time.
