questions about angle ranking for real tests

A lot of people claim that angle is impossible in the actual tests. How small are the differences of angles that appear in the tests? there gotta be a limit. there is no way that they expect to compare two angles with .1 degree difference. I guess that 1 degree should be the extreme

anyone know anything about the paper ruler, or folding method for use during angles? 🙂

Do a search in this forum~

ps: I dont think this is efficient way unless u have a lot time left

Its true about some of the angles being virtually indistinguishable from each other, some are easy, some arent. Figure out the easy ones by eyeballing them, but if you cant tell the difference use the paper ruler. Thing is it does take a little time, so you have to be able to JAM on the other sections, ie cube counting, and hole punching. You should get to the point that you can do those sections in practice (ie Topscore and Achiever) in no more than 5 or 6 minutes with reasonable precision. That will leave you enough time to get those hard angle questions right.
There have been plenty of posts about the paper ruler, and it is worth finding out about, trust me. It could make a huge difference in your PAT score. To summarize, yes, the angles are really hard, but if you practice getting your speed down and practice using the paper ruler, you should do fine.

great...but how exactly do you construct a paper ruler? 🙂

All you do is fold your piece of paper into an arbitrary angle and compare it to the other angles. It usually helps in determining differences in angle size in relation to the piece of paper. You shouldn't rely on this technique because some testing centers will not allow you to touch the monitor. Other testing centers sometimes use dry-erase boards and don't even give you paper. You'll be up a creek without a paddle if you relied solely on the paper ruler trick and they didn't give you any paper. 😛

if they allowed touching the screen, is it possible to just put the paper on the screen and trace each angle ? this way s the easiest to do and it takes just few seconds to do.

3issa 7abibe, why do you like to repeat things in a question form when it is clear that if you can touch the screen then putting the paper on the screen is infact touching the screen. inno come on wlo.

who knows maybe tracing angles is considered cheating, so that is why i am asking.
