How the hell do you finish 90 questions in 60 min? Any suggestions?

I was practicing crack dat on line perception test and I just realised how much harder the test is when its on the computer instead of paper (The way I practised).

Also, the hole punching and cube counting take up soo much time. I suck at hole punching !
I ended up guessing on the cube counting to get to the folding.

It seems like folding is my talent 15/15
I totalled an 18
 
it is all about practice.

how are you doing cube counting?

are you doing a tally system? Or count each time a question comes up.

I started out barely beating the timer on CDP. eventually I had 5-6 minutes to spare.

Also crack dat pat is harder than the actual thing. Which is a good thing. except maybe angles.

I finished with 10 minutes to spare on the actual and had time to double check things over.
 
hey the only advice that I can give you (and most people on here) will give you is PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE! I started out at an 18 and moved up to a 23...the key is to get your mind in "PAT" mode which takes a little time...as far as the hole punching, look at the line symmetry at each fold and make a grid if you have to and mark each spot that the hole will be as you unfold the paper (this may take a while at first but once you do it repetitively, it becomes second nature)...as for the cube counting, try making a tally sheet to keep track of the cubes that you count where you write the number of sides painted on one side (0,1,2,3,4,5) and put tally marks for each side you see while going through the whole cube...also check out the pat tutorials on this website...good luck
 
I'm in the same boat...3 weeks left, I know I'll get it though. Just takes practice.

First time through was kind of experimental...9/15 from keyholes (thought i got all of them), 13/15 from TFE and 13/15 angles, and then hole punching came.

I was trying to just do it in my head at first, what a waste of time...I started making a 4x4 grid (like a tic-tac-toe board) and started out putting an X in the initial punches, then unfolding one fold at a time and adding punches to the grid, this helped tremendously.

I got to cube counting with only like 15/16 minutes left, and got through 4-5 of them and the time was down to 10 minutes so I just stopped it. No way I'd finish.

I think it comes down to having a strategy for each section that expediates things as well as PRACTICE
 
practice... some days im on ther days I finish right as the timer cuts off... like today I had to guess on the final 4 foldings, still managed a 21. Just have a plan... If you know you are going to spend a long time on something "aka hole punching" for me... plan to move faster in the other segments. I finish angles in around 5 minutes, the reason i was slow today was because angles took me 8, so, the moral of the story is to PLAN
