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 :)
I have watched countless videos on PAT pattern folding, and no one has explained it as well as you have in this video! Thank you for taking the time to explain every detail, and illustrating how the sides of the cube connect when folding. Thank you so much!
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!
I am still struggling with the pattern folding, I just don't see how it wraps around, especially with weird shapes, like when we have it twist around and switch orientations. Is it just something with more practice? Because I have watched this video at least 3 times and still get confused.
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.
13:42 Wouldn't the L and R sides change if you were to fold the cube in an inverted manner? Meaning, nit fold the edges of 1 downwards, but upwards....and then rotate the cube - wouldnt that leave you with 6 on the left, and 5 on the right?
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!
8:41 I think the answer should be D. Explanation: Fold a cube with initial configuration as: the faces along the 6 axes are- y+ = Blank , y- = Z , x+ = X , x- = Blank , z+ = Blank , z- = Y. Now we will do 4 rotations to achieve the configuration given in option D: i) Rotate the cube by 90⁰ along y axis New Config- y+ = Blank , y- = Z , x+ = Y , x- = Blank , z+ = X , z- = Blank ii) Rotate by 90⁰ along z axis New Config- y+ = Y , y- = Blank , x+ = Z , x- = Blank , z+ = X , z- = Blank iii) Rotate by 90⁰ along z axis again New Config- y+ = Z , y- = Blank , x+ = blank , x- = Y , z+ = X , z- = Blank iv) Finally rotate by 45⁰ along z axis to get the configuration in which the edges of X, Y and one blank face are pointing towards South-East direction. Note: the axis perpendicular to screen is taken as z, the horizontal as x and the vertical as y axes. Also, the reason why C is incorrect is because Z is horizontal but it should be vertical.
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!
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?
If you're not studying for the DAT, let us know what you're using this video to prepare for and what other perceptual videos would be helpful! (DAT students are also welcome to comment on PAT vides that would be most helpful!)
@@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.
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!
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!
B is not true because there are faces bordering each other such that the shaded rectangles sit opposite to one another, separated by too much space. The shaded rectangles would either be bordering each other or both on the left or both on the right of their faces.
I’ve never heard of the DAT, but this is really helpful for the French airline pilot selection exams. Thanks!

Hello, i Sverige want to do the air traffic control test in Sweden, kan you help me how can i prepare myself before tests?

that was really helpful .. Thank you
Very nice explanation. Thq vm!!
very helpful
Good morning madam,
I really have trouble with spatial ability,can I get to you online so you help me throughout this stuff?

@14:29 Isn;t it that the on the 3, the dot that borders the 5, is not closest to 2, but fathest.
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.

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

Wonderlic test
Sonography school interview 😭 this concept is so confusing to me lol
Fire captain assessment test.
I think in example 3 the right answer should be C , I am not sure .

U said several times "turn ur head" but it dosent helpe because the eyes correct the shape directly.

Example 4 = B is also true
B is not true because there are faces bordering each other such that the shaded rectangles sit opposite to one another, separated by too much space. The shaded rectangles would either be bordering each other or both on the left or both on the right of their faces.
