Intro0:37
Explore the top end section of the desert through step-by-step progression from basic shapes to complex problems. Learn tricks, shortcuts, and how to eliminate choices to predict the correct answer.
Basic Shape 10:45
Explore how a simple cube is represented by top, front, and side views, each a square, and learn to determine the missing view.
Basic Shape 20:36
See how a cylinder projects as a rectangle in the front view and as a circle in the top view, highlighting 3d to 2d projection and symmetry.
Dashed Line Concept 11:14
Explore the dashed line concept with top and end views to reveal a circular tunnel through a rectangular prism, a three-model setup with dash lines matching the circle.
Dashed Line Concept 20:59
Learn how dashed lines indicate a hole or cut halfway through a square with a center circle, shown in front and end views, with a 3-D model.
Triangle 11:48
Apply the solid line concept to reveal a centered vertical line, a front view triangle, an end view square, and a top view showing diagonal elevation changes.
Triangle 21:10
Analyze a triangular prism from the front view, noting the isosceles triangle shape, dashed hidden edges, and how the left and right rectangles define its sides in a 3D model.
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.
Multiple Correct Answers 12:29
Explore how multiple correct answers arise when interpreting elevations in front, top, and end views, recognizing horizontal-and-vertical changes, diagonal changes, and curved changes and their correlations.

Problem 13:20
Compare front, end, and top views to trace changes in plane and detect obstructions; conclude that option C blocks the change in plane when viewed from the right.
Problem 21:23
Analyze the top and end views to identify changes in elevation and plane, determine which view presents a valid changing plane, and select the correct option B.
Problem 32:23
Learn to derive the end view from front and top views using a 90-degree rotation, and distinguish dashed, dotted, and solid lines to interpret obstructions.
Problem 41:29
Analyze how overlaps reveal three different elevations across top, front, and end views in a three-dimensional model, explaining why certain lines appear as a single line.
Problem 55:45
Analyze top, front, and end views to determine which side is higher and whether the surface is diagonal, then rotate the projection to verify with visible and hidden edges.
Problem 62:41
Learn to read top view and front view by rotating the top view 90 degrees clockwise to reveal front and end views, and identify changes in plane and direction.
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
Match triangles to squares and a rectangle across front, end, and top views by comparing surfaces, rotations, and flush surfaces to determine the correct end-view arrangement.
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
Match front and top views to deduce a three-dimensional configuration, identifying rectangles and squares and using dashed lines to infer perpendicular columns.
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
Learn to compare front, top, and end views to identify changes in plan, rotate the top view 90 degrees, and confirm the correct option (C) via dashed lines.
Problem 13 (Multiple Correct Answers)3:19
Analyze top view and front view to compare elevation changes, using a 90-degree clockwise rotation of the top view to identify which options could be correct.
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
Master 3d visualization by analyzing cube projections across front, top, and end views, using dashed and solid squares to identify the correct option (d) and interpret missing corners.
Problem 161:02
Identify the visible plane change at the top right corner across front and top views, and rotate the top view to confirm the end view alignment.
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
The front view shows no changes in plane on the left or bottom, producing only dash lines, while the cube's two missing portions clarify the final answer.
Problem 35:46
Analyze top view, front view, and end view to solve a complex problem by identifying variables and using elimination to determine the correct option.
Problem 42:45
Analyze perspective by comparing front and end views, identifying tunnels and obstructions, and distinguishing solid versus dashed lines to determine visible changes in plan.
Problem 52:40
Analyze the symmetry, diagonal lines toward the center, and a horizontal obstruction in a square front and top view puzzle to determine that option d is correct.
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
Compare top and end views to identify three central vertical lines, with the central line dashed due to obstruction. Rotate the top view 90 degrees clockwise to confirm option A.
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
Rotate figures by 90 degrees clockwise and compare top view to end view. Infer column heights and line types (solid and dashed) to select the arrangement and rule out options.
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.
Problem 141:05
Compare five front facing figures to the middle column, deduce ascending steps, and use in front cues from left and right positions to quickly select D as the correct answer.
Problem 153:14
Analyze how the front view and end view constrain column lengths and alignments, canceling options to identify the mirrored five-column arrangement and the corresponding L-shaped column.
Problem 160:57
Analyze how circles and tunnels intersect across top, front, and end views to determine why option B is correct.
Problem 173:08
Analyze a cubical figure puzzle with three views to identify missing corners and overlaps. Explain how the central tunnel, dashed lines, and ramps reveal the front, top, and end views.
Problem 181:44
Analyze the Z shape and square to determine front/back relationships, then mentally rotate the figure clockwise to reveal visible lines and the missing piece, guiding option elimination.

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!
