Triangle 21:10
Proportion Concept2:00
Learn the proportion concept by matching front, end, and top views: front length equals end length, front width equals top width, and end width equals top length.

Problem 13:20
Problem 21:23
Problem 32:23
Problem 41:29
Problem 55:45
Problem 62:41
Problem 74:18
The lecture shows how a vertical dashed line marks a hidden edge on a flush surface, and how rotating the top view reveals the relationship with the front view.
Problem 83:54
Problem 90:43
In problem 9, compare front and end views of a 3-D shape, note two left squares and two top squares, and choose D as it matches the shaded right side.
Problem 103:00
Problem 112:46
Compare top, front, and end views to deduce the correct orientation; rotate the top view clockwise (180 degrees, then nine degrees) to place a larger square behind a smaller square.
Problem 122:11
Problem 13 (Multiple Correct Answers)3:19
Problem 141:39
Analyze the top right corner of the top and front views to identify plane changes, and rotate the top view 90 degrees clockwise to see dashed squares indicating empty space.
Problem 151:36
Problem 161:02
Problem 172:10
Analyze 3-d model by identifying solid versus dashed squares in front and end views, using orientation to locate missing pieces and understand visibility from top and side perspectives.

Problem 21:43
Problem 35:46
Problem 42:45
Problem 52:40
Problem 61:15
Rotate the top view 90 degrees clockwise to reveal a dashed circle centered at the bottom, contrasting with the front view where a horizontal line obstructs the dash circle.
Problem 71:28
Problem 81:35
Explore how a rectangular prism with a triangular prism in front is viewed from the top, front, and end views, using an outline, dash lines, and symmetry to determine visibility.
Problem 91:22
Compare front and end views to distinguish solid from dashed features, recognizing hidden lines. Rotating the figure nine degrees clockwise reveals how lines map and helps identify the correct option.
Problem 103:50
Problem 112:36
Analyze a square with a right-side three-quarter circle in the top view to determine front and end views, using dashed change-in-plane cues and a ramped cutout revealing the highest point.
Problem 122:34
Problem 133:52
Compare the front and top views of five columns to deduce plane alignments, obstructions, and lengths, then rotate the mental view to confirm that option D is correct.

Description

This course is for pre-dental students preparing for the Dental Admissions Test (DAT). Most students find the Perceptual Ability Test on the DAT the most difficult, specifically the Top Front End (TFE) section. I've created a step by step tutorial that can prepare ANYONE to become a pro at the Top Front End.

This program is designed to teach you various concepts and approaches as the problems gradually become more advanced. There are expensive programs out there with interactive 3D models and color coded explanations, but there are many students who still are lost because they lack the foundation for this subject. What you are getting is the knowledge you need that isn't taught with a model. Learning the way to approach problems and knowing what to look for will help shorten the learning curve on this difficult topic and save you more time during your studies. Your time is valuable, don't waste it learning the hard way.

With all the stress and time that is put into preparing for the DAT, my goal is save you that precious time learning this section and make it less overwhelming. Lastly, and most importantly, help you understand the topic more effectively

Good Luck!
