For each Angle Ranking question in the PAT section of the DAT, you are given four angles labeled 1\u20134 that you must rank in\u00a0increasing order from smallest to largest interior angle.
\nSome angles may be so close in size (such as a difference of only two degrees) that assigning the order\u00a0of them unambiguously is almost impossible. However, you will be able to use the answer choices to\u00a0help you eliminate based on the other angles and possibly find the correct answer without needing to\u00a0identify the full ranking first. This strategy is illustrated in the following example:

\nIt is difficult to ascertain which angle is larger, 2 or 3. However, if you can see that 4 is the smallest\u00a0angle, you can eliminate (A) and (B), and then seeing that 1 is the largest angle will confirm that (A) is\u00a0incorrect and also eliminate (C). This leaves only choice (D) as the correct answer and doesn\u2019t require\u00a0determining whether 2 or 3 is smaller.
\nAlthough not necessarily easier than the other perceptual ability questions, the Angle Ranking questions on the DAT don\u2019t\u00a0require 3D manipulation and can be completed very quickly. Spending no more than five minutes on\u00a0the 15 Angle Ranking questions at the rate of 20 seconds per question will allow you to spend longer\u00a0on the more time-consuming subsections in the PAT.
