Buy the book: ISBN --> 0764105779

"Barron's How to Prepare for DAT"...I found this book very helpful as was the DAT Lesson Book (that came to with the $1000 course). However, the Barron's book is better than the Kaplan for PAT.

Practice daily. Keep a journal of the types of problems you're always missing.

Keyholes: draw a grid with 16 holes in a perfect square, but make sure the holes are approximately the size of a hole you'd make with a hole puncher (the type that punches only one hole at a time). Copy that grid on a paper so that you have as many squares possible on the paper, photocopy, and voila!!! That's what I did.

TopFrontEnd: You must realize that you're looking at only 3 sides of a figure - the BArron's book explains this very well. Fold the image in your head, count lines, and this will usually get you the correct answer within 40 seconds.

Peace.

in addition to that, time each section separately. At first you shouldn't time yourself to see if you can think and reason things right. then put them all together. for keyholes, pay a lot of attention to details, size, angels... smash the object to a wall from each side, see if you get the same figures, use shadow, imagine the objects shadow in your mind...
for patten folding, pay attention to an irregular piece. then try to arrange the neighbors. with colored patten folding, well... same thing I guess

PAT is just practice. the more you practice, the better you get.
good luck

I just realized that I was thinking of paper folding and gave you good advice for the wrong thing. For keyholes, Barron's book tells you how to think about the problems as well. I also imagine myself standing in front of the object and walking around it before I place the object through the hole.
