Video

Thank you so much - that's great to hear! Please take the time to let others know about us if you have a chance. We'd love for more students to find out about our resources. Looking forward to bringing more videos soon!

@@eruditionpat Ofcourse! Please could you make a video about the dashed Slanted lines in TFE, I did watch the TFE videos, but unfortunately didnt find anything on the slanted lined, Thank you so much for all of your hardwork!

@@ms-wx1gp That's a great idea. Do you mean objects with slanted edges - like with ramp-like parts, or slanted holes, etc? You'll find many of these practice problems with detailed explanations on our course, but that's a great idea for a video as well - we will try to do that!

@@eruditionpat Yes I mean when objects have slanted edges- like ramps, and then for example the front view will show it as a dashed diagonal line, when its like this, the end view is hard to determine

@@ms-wx1gp Yes, we are actually adding quite a few more questions to our banks like that as they seem to be coming up more in the exam. We will add this to our list of videos to create as well. Thank you!

For this type of problem on this test, the pattern is only on one side of the paper sheet. The sheet must fold so that the pattern remains on the outside. Hopefully that helps!

Hi! Have you worked through our level 1 question bank carefully? Usually it's helpful to practice and make sure you understand the level 1 problems, then slowly progress to the harder problems, making sure you read through and study the explanations as you go.

Hello! If you're asking if we use problem generators on our course, we do not, as we feel that this would sacrifice the quality of our problems and explanations, and our problems' similarity to the real exam. We have around 1000 practice problems on our course, which were carefully analyzed to cover many types and subtypes of problems that come up on the real exam. We plan will continue to add more, but we will not be using generators to introduce 1000s at once, as we don't believe this will create a very efficient and effective PAT study experience. Thank you!

C shows an extra narrow tunnel in the object (an extra set of dotted lines towards the center).

Hi! We actually have an article on PAT timing here that we will likely make into a video soon - eruditionprep.com/dat/pat/resources/timing-on-the-dat-perceptual-ability-test. If there is a section of the exam that takes a lot of your time, we do actually recommend skipping this section and coming back to it on your end, so you don't have to rush in other areas and miss out on getting easier problems correct.

currently studying for the tsa exam and this is the only part that's stumping me :(

​@@DISPATCHERB Thanks for letting us know! We're not very familiar with the tsa exams but will look into them more now! I hope this video helps you with the cubes.

Wonderlic test

Sonography school interview 😭 this concept is so confusing to me lol

Fire captain assessment test.

On the 2 dot face, the dot that sits closest to the 5 face - when you bring those edges (colored in blue) together - also sits closer to the 3 dot face. Does this help?

I thought I was tripping for a second cause it didn't make sense.

Hello! Yes, you can create a free account at pat.eruditionprep.com, and you can upgrade your account from there for full access to our course. This course is specifically for students studying for the DAT, but it will help you improve your perceptual ability skills in general or for other exams if you work through the problems. Hope this helps!

Thank you for your response! If you're referring to the problem containing a face with a square in the center, we can eliminate Choice C as discussed in video. Or - if you look at the map - in relation to the face with the center square, you can see that each fully shaded face sits clockwise to either a half-shaded face or another fully shaded face. Choice C shows a fully shaded face sitting clockwise to a blank faces, which does not match the map. Hope this helps!

Hi! Yes, now that we've created our foundational videos, we were already considering adding videos going over the hardest problems - including the problems most people miss on our course. We will likely prioritize TFE since a lot students struggle with these. Thank you!

Thanks for letting us know! That's great - it sounds like you're manipulating the object well in your mind. :) Some students have a harder time seeing how things would change orientation when turned or rotated, and some of them find that rotating their head to change their perspective is helpful. However, if it works better for you to NOT rotate your head, you should keep doing what you're doing!

Thank you so much! We really appreciate that and hope you are getting a lot out of the videos! If it helps, we just sent out a New Year's promo to our users - HAPPYNY, for 50% off the first month subscription cost (and HAPPYNY3 for 20% off the 3 month access option), and we do offer some of our question banks for free on our platform. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend watching all the videos on our CZcams channel and trying these techniques. Best of luck studying!

Thank you so much! We’re so happy you found this helpful and another student took the time to share about this on Reddit - we love to hear that students are sharing these resources with each other!

Amazing! We've been surprised to discover that such a variety of exams test this. I'm so happy that this is helping you for your exam! Best of luck to you :)

Yes, you can cross out answer choices by clicking on the letter (A, B, C, D, E), or by clicking on the text if there is text there, as in angle ranking problems. This can help you keep track of what you eliminated. We also have this feature and other DAT functionalities on our course question banks and tests.
