Where Did You Learn Techs/Strats for PAT?

Members don't see this ad.

So it's a given that everyone uses CDP for practice for the PAT.

But where exactly did you guys learn the strategies/techniques to handle each section within the PAT? I wish there was a video for PAT like Chad's Videos...

There's something titled along the lines of "Wicked Sick DAT Tutorial" on the forums here (do a search). You can work your way through and follow the examples and discussion.

Other than that, you just have to bite the bullet and practice, practice, practice... A lot of people get discouraged initially, but the PAT is a completely new kind of test for most so the best thing you can do is simply to put in the hours, learn from your mistakes, and train yourself. (Not to mention that this is the ONLY way to pick up speed.)

SDN!

there are a lot of threads explaining diff strategies. I bet they will be very helpful. For me,

Keyholes: no strategy, just look at details, compare similar answers if there are any.
TFE: read "wicked wick pat tutorial". very good info there
Angles: practice + laptop/hill method
Hole punches: practice, just general smart test-taking skills
cubes: make a chart in the tut of DAT and fill it out as you go
folding: practice, imagine folding in your head, nothing really too big.

feel free to google any of the methods i mentioned, or search around here. A lot of info available.

good luck!

for a good starting point, get Barron's DAT book

http://www.amazon.com/Barrons-DAT-D...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1279040679&sr=8-1

it has a good tutorial of how to understand the diff sections of the PAT. Once you know that, move on to the "Wicked Sick PAT Tutorial". After that, it just really comes down to both practice and natural talent.
