Hey guys is it me, or the WCT answers on PP are a littler off ??????

I have my ATS test on Feb 20 and I have base my studies mostly on the PP book and web site.

I find the PATI tests great I have learn a lot with them
But I find the WCT answers a littler confusing in some occasions, specially on the reports.
For example (test #21)when it said that the Nissan was the one who heavily braked, meanwhile it was the Lexus the one who did .

And with the facts sometimes I find them to simplified ,or missing some
for example (same test#21) they don't include the passenger of Mustang that gave a statement making her a witness to the event ?????
shouldn't it said in the Evidence at scene: One witness ????????

I need to know just how much can i trust the PP WCT exercises ,for the actual real test.???

Escobar,

I did it the same way, learned just out of the book and the PP website.
Regarding the WCT, I don't think you really have to get to far into the single scenarios on PP. It's important to understand the style they are writing the reports, what has to be in, what do you have to leave out, what do you start with, and so on.

The actual WCT was a pretty clear scenario, not to hard to figure out what happened. Find that information they put in there which is not important for the report and leave it out. Include all the other things in a logical order and do it in the form they do it in the PP examples. Use you scrap-paper and put the information together, make a sketch if necessary, that helps a lot.

That's it.

To be honest, I didn't spent to much time preparing for the WCT.......
