Regressing not Improving

Hi. I am planning to take my DAT in July. I have been practicing the PAT section everyday, as it is my worse section, but I seem to be improving in every section except for angle ranking. I am not sure why, but my angle ranking actually appears to be getting worse. I have bootcamp, and I have watched all the videos, but I don't know what I am doing wrong? Any advice or tips to improve angles would be helpful. Thank you.

Switch to PATBooster, it's soo much better than DATBootcamp's PAT. Start off by using PATBooster's performance analyzer, it'll tell you exactly which type of angle ranking questions you're struggling with. Then use PATBooster's AngleRanking generator to practice exactly the angle types that you're struggling with (example obtuse or acute angles). This helped me get a 27 on the PAT, good luck!

I completely agree with @WithLove. I've been using PATBooster and I highly recommend it ! The strategies are extremely helpful and I actually enjoy studying for the PAT section now🙂

In general, for the PAT, you want to keep practicing everyday. Make sure you aren't doing more than an hour or so of PAT at a time or that may make your eyes tired and lead to you scoring poorly. Also, try to adopt a strategy and stick to to it when you are practicing. It is not uncommon for PAT scores in any of the sections, including angle ranking, to fluctuate. Just make sure to expose yourself to lots of practice problems each day, and you should start to improve. If it remains a weak point as the test nears, remember that everyone has strong and weak areas, and try to really take advantage of your strengths in other PAT categories and score high on those subsections so it can help compensate. Good luck studying!
