Why you should solve CEED previous year question papers
Practicing past papers helps you:
- Spot repeated concepts (visual reasoning, perspective, product thinking, design sensitivity)
- Improve speed + accuracy for Part A (MCQ/MSQ/NAT style)
- Build confidence for Part B drawing + design thinking questions
- Create a realistic revision plan using actual difficulty levels
CEED has two parts (objective + subjective), and you must attempt both—so past papers are the best “full-syllabus simulator.
How to use CEED PYQs effectively
1) First attempt like a real exam
- Set a timer
- Do Part A first (no pausing)
- Then attempt Part B with clean presentation
2) Analyse mistakes the right way
For Part A:
- Note why you got it wrong: concept gap, silly error, or time pressure
- Re-attempt the same questions after 7 days
For Part B:
- Check: composition, clarity, storytelling, labeling, proportions
- Redraw one question using a better layout (not just cleaner lines)
3) Convert papers into a weekly routine
- Weekdays: 30–60 mins topic practice from weak areas
- Weekend: 1 past paper + review
