What is a half hole, sometimes I see weird stuff on the PAT and I wonder, how did they get that?

Are those half holes? How are you suppose to do them? Where is a tutorial on those?

There will be no half holes generated on the PAT.

You can however punch a half hole such that when you unfold the paper it generates a full whole.

For example, if you fold the paper diagonally, a half hole punched along the fold will generate a full hole when the paper is unfolded.

Does that make sense?

Oh wow, I never thought of that before...

I have a question though, how about when they fold something and it seems like it moved? What's that about?

Go to question 51 of DAT Achiever, the first PAT test..please tell me what that is? 😕

I don't have that program anymore. I took the DAT about a year and a half ago.

The rules state that the paper cannot be rotated, flipped, or turned. If you are having trouble with the hole punching then I suggest making your own square pieces of paper and fold it along with the problem.

yea i know what you talking about...they confuse me as well. I dont think they are moving the paper. I think they fold the paper all the way to the other side so it looks like it has been moved but it really hasnt! I might be wrong! somebody please explain this!

I know, dude, what the heck are they doing?

I hate it when they do that, I have no idea how to solve those....somebody help

Your key to handling hole punching lies very much with your attention to symmetrical lines along those folds. Treat the lines as mirrors like you learn from optics in physics. Each time when you unfold the paper, you're simply looking for a pattern that reveals the object and image as mirrored.

When confused or lost, you can always use the answers beneath to tell where the line is, which can only be either diagonal, horizontal/vertical.
