Just a quick question on the pattern folding part of the PAT...

When the 2-D drawing is presented, are you supposed to mentally fold the pieces up (out of the page/screnn), or fold them down (into the page/screen).

Also, does anyone have any tips for the keyhole PAT problems, this section seems to be giving me a lot of trouble so far?

fold the edges INTO the screen, so the middle part becomes the closest to you

ok thanks sinned, this will help a lot. how did you figure this out though? ive been trying to look it up, and i cant find any resource that says to do it one way or the other? just a matter of trial and error maybe?

took kaplan course, i believe that is one of the rules in that section...i didnt "figure" it out, rather kaplan told us that is the way to that section
