Pattern Folding Advice

Hey Guys,

I am averaging about 19-20 on CDP. I get like:
14-15 on Key holes
11-13 on TFE (doing line counting, I hear this wont work on the actual DAT?),
9-10 on angles (I am not good as these at all, I have watched videos and still dont do well)
12-14 on hole punches (the diagonal folds get me)
10-12 on pattern folding

My question is for pattern folding. I figure that this is one of the only ways for me to improve my score. The ones I have the hardest time with the cube folding (with dice or shades in corners, or just lines on them) Does anyone have a good strategy that has helped them with the cube folding?

THanks

ill break it down a bit for ya

the cubes with the hidden sides or w.e wont appear on the actual DAT so dont worry bout that, the cubes will be visible at every angle.

For the tfe i would strongly suggest not depending on line counting to help you get through this section on the actual DAT. I can even confirm this cause ive taken lots of practice exams and out of maybe 60 questions i can only use the line counting method 2x or so.


The rest are on par, like the pattern folding and hole punching is the same on the DAT to the crack dat pat

I also thought angles were a lot easier on the real thing.

Im not sure what you are looking for on PAT but on my 10 Crack PAT i got an average of 18 with one 21. I ended up with a 21 on the actual test.
