The CEED 2024 exam will have two sections: Part-A and Part-B, both of which you must complete.
Part-A consists of objective questions in three formats: Numerical Answer Type (NAT), Multiple Choice Question (MCQ), and Multiple Select Question (MSQ). These design aptitude questions will assess your visual and spatial abilities, environmental and social awareness, analytical and logical reasoning, language skills, observation, and design sensitivity. You will answer Part-A on a computer.
Part-B includes five questions designed to evaluate your design, drawing, and writing skills. The questions will appear on the computer screen, but you will write your answers in a provided answer booklet.
Your final CEED score will be determined by assigning 25% weightage to Part-A and 75% weightage to Part-B

To ace the CEED exam you need to have strong tips and methodologies. Follow the preparation tips given below. Learn about Part A and Part-B of the CEED test format.

Put your attention into enhancing your spatial and visual perception, problem-solving, and creative thinking talents.
Examine details in everyday products and designs. Examine items' usability and problem-solving capabilities. This will assist you in improving your design skills. Consistently engage in sketching and drawing, particularly fast sketches that effectively convey concepts. Pay attention to angles, proportions, and clean displays. The CEED assesses your capacity for reasoning and analysis. To strengthen these abilities, go via brainteasers, puzzles, and practice reasoning tasks.
