There are plenty of techniques outlined on Bootcamp. I highly recommend using their generators least 30min a day

Don't be discouraged!! You can do it! I started at a 12 PAT and two months later, I scored a 20 on the actual exam! Definitely learn to master the Hole Punching, Cube Counting and Pattern Folding sections. These are probably the easiest IMO. This will give you some room for the Keyoles section, which is by far the hardest. Hole Punching and Cube Counting strategies can be found by a simple YouTube search. The "line of symmetry" method worked best for me. Let me know if you have any other questions! 🙂

What are you currently using to prepare for the PAT? Have you tried PAT Academy yet on Bootcamp?

did you finish reviewing the materials, are you practicing the other materials, how are you doing in them?
If you are doing fine, you can devote 4 hours a day for pat
Do you have Bootcamp, crack the dat, datqvault?
how much are you getting on the practice tests?
If you do have a bootcamp, have you watched Pat academy?
If not start with Pat academy. Pat academy concepts for keyholes should take 1 day, and the tests should be done one each day. don't do them all together at the first day. After that, you'll do generators of all 5 sections, and do 10-15 questions of the keyholes.
after practicing generators for 2 weeks, you should do full pat practice tests start with crack the dat, then move on to datqvault and finally dat bootcamp
also other resources for dat qvault are barron's book and dat crusher they have 4 tests and generators, and achiever they have 10 tests.
the trick is to leave the hard sections until the end
In short what I am saying : do generators for 2 weeks then do practice tests first untimed, then do them timed.
I am sure you'll get better.
have a great day!
No before that
You can always postpone the test until you are ready and you will be ready!
