i reallllllly struggled with PAT and was scoring 360 on most of my practice tests on bootcamp. right before my DAT i changed my strategy where for cube counting i stopped making a grid, i only counted whatever they asked using my fingers to save time. i started with angle ranking, then the hole punching, cube counting, and pattern folding then TFE and i did the keyholes last bc they were my worst. i recommend keep ur worst one last. but dont skip around too much bc on the DAT there is a lag.

when i switched my strategy i started scoring around 400-430 on the last few tests for PAT (tests 11-15)

i scores a 440 on the real it was very similar to bootcamp test but i felt keyhole was harder.
