Learn the method.Then drill it.

Guided lessons walk you through how to attack each subtest before you practice it.

  • Every subtest covered. From apertures to 3D form development.
  • Strategy, not just reps. Know what to look for before the clock starts.

Stop guessing.Watch it unfold.

Every answer comes with the move you had to make in your head, animated.

  • Why it's right. Step by step.
  • Why the rest are wrong. Marked on each option.
  • See the move. Unfolds, folds, rotations, apertures.
The unfold animation: each hole mirrors across the fold line.

How does the waitlist work?

Join with your email and you're on the list. We're opening the beta in small groups, and when your spot opens we'll email you a personal invite link. The beta is free and gives you everything: every subtest, all 10 levels, lessons and full mocks. You need to be 18 or older to join the beta.

When should you start studying?

The earlier, the better. Unlike the other DAT sections, you can’t cram the PAT in a couple of weeks. Start early, go at your own pace, and let the skills build.

Are these like the real PAT questions?

They follow the same format as each subtest, from easy warm-ups all the way to extreme difficulty at level 10. Every question is our own original work. We never copy questions from the real exam.

I get extra time on test day. Can I practice with it?

Yes. Turn on accessibility mode and your mock exam gets an extra 30 minutes, so your practice matches your test day.

Will PATmatrix predict my PAT score?

You'll see exactly how many you got right in each subtest, so you always know where you stand. We don't turn that into a 200–600 estimate, because it would only be a guess, and we'd rather be straight with you.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. Open app.patmatrix.app in any browser on your phone, tablet or laptop. Dedicated phone and tablet apps are on the way.

Is PATmatrix connected to the ADA?

No. We're an independent team focused only on the PAT. We're not affiliated with or endorsed by the American Dental Association.
