I've took 7 out of 10 Crack PAT exam and my highest score is a 21 and my lowest in a 18 🙁 I also took Topscore Pat which I think is harder than crack pat and I got 18s.
I have heard from your guys that the real PAT is 10x harder than crack pat. I don't know what else to do to prepare myself for this section. I need advice please!!!
 
I got anywhere from 17-19 on tests 1-8, a 21 on test 9 the day before, and a 19 on the real thing. Sections were harder, others were easier. It's kind of luck of the draw.
 
I got a 23 on the pat but only scored that high once on crack. I avg about a 20-21ish. The catch about crack is it will teach you how the pat works but it's not like another practice material for let's say o chem where you see an EAS rxn and now you know what will happen with an EAS rxn. On crack pat it shows you what the pat contains but what you will see on the real DAT is different. Like 1/3 folds and pay way more attention to detail on keyhole. The format on the real DAT is different in hole punching, the holes and paper are smaller. Don't take your scores so serious.
 
HaHa.. Only section I did average.. When i practiced Crack PAT, Achiever on this section I kept getting no more than 16 (only did two times).. Real exam I got 21 🙂.. I honestly, think real exam was easier but better if you practice harder questions to prepare you better. good luck
 
When is your exam? I would do all ten tests then do them again. If you have time purchase Achiever. According to many that scored very high on PAT they said they owe it to Achiever.
By the time I realized that I might benefit from it I only had about 2 weeks left to study. My highest scores were consistent 22s. I was hoping to get an easier PAT test but mine turned out to be rather difficult. My angles were equally difficult...TFE was harder and pattern folding was just awful! Keyhole was different for me than Crack but not so bad...cubes were easier and hole punch was straight forward.
