I was hoping some of you could post your raw score for the PAT and what that translated to for a scaled score. As in, how many questions did you actually miss and what does that give you for a number. I'm kinda freaked out because I seem incapable of getting the top/front/end view questions right no matter how hard I try. I seem to be doing fairly well with the rest of it; I'm just trying figure out if I miss most of those but do fairly well on the other subsections, will I still be okay?
 
They actually don't tell you how many you missed on each section - all you get is your score and percentile. You might be able to find some kind of chart that estimates it, but it ultimately depends on everyone else that's taking your particular test.
 
Yes, they don't tell you how many you missed, in what areas, and which ones (and that goes for the whole exam). I have also heard that a portion of the questions on the PAT don't count towards your score - they are merely getting some 'real-world' feed back on future, legitimate questions. In other words your exam might contain 10 neutral questions and your answer doesn't count towards or against you. If you are looking for a scaled breakdown of number of questions right versus a score then Kaplan, in their blue book, has a very good one.
