as far as the PAT goes, just become familiar with each type of question and the amount of time you need to spend on each. Try to start to recognize trends in the top-front-side view questions. If you do enough practice problems, you'll see what a circle/triangle/curve can look like from the different angles.
i thought the topscore pacer worked well b/c it let me see which question i should be on. then it was just getting used to the speed.
- keyhole - i had a lot of trouble getting used to the keyholes until i realized that it usually was not as tricky as i made it out to be. conc. on curves and whether a corner is pointed or has a plateau at top and then just rotate it.
- topleftright - just practice and start to recognize that a curved or slant cutout can look just like a rect.
- cube counting - i used the baron's mthd. write down # sides of cubes level by level, moving left to right, keeping track, then go back and answer.
take a look around in the forum to look for past advice on the PAT.
cheers & good luck...
