To prepare for your Engineering Graphics and Design (EGD) exam and aim for

a score of 90%, you’ll want to focus on a mix of understanding concepts,


practicing regularly, and refining your drawing skills. Here’s a structured
approach to help you:

1. Understand Core Concepts:

Familiarize with Drawing Standards: Make sure you understand technical


drawing standards, such as line types (center lines, construction lines),
dimensioning, and symbols used in EGD.

Review Past Papers: Go through past exam papers to understand the


structure of the questions and common topics like orthographic projections,
isometric drawings, and assembly drawings. This helps you identify recurring
themes and focus areas.

2. Practice Drawing Skills:

Orthographic and Isometric Drawings: Practice translating 3D objects into 2D


views (orthographic projection) and vice versa (isometric projection). These
often make up a significant part of EGD exams.

Freehand Sketching: Even though most drawings need to be accurate,


practice freehand sketching for quick ideas and concepts. It can improve
your spatial awareness.

Use Drawing Instruments Correctly: Make sure you’re comfortable using all
the drawing tools like set squares, compasses, and protractors. Clean and
precise drawings can earn you extra marks.
3. Focus on CAD (If applicable):

If your exam includes computer-aided design (CAD) sections, make sure you
practice using the software. Focus on how to construct shapes, modify them,
and understand the tools available.

4. Time Management:

Simulate Exam Conditions: Time yourself while doing practice questions to


get used to the time constraints. Try to complete past papers within the
allotted time to improve your speed.

Prioritize Difficult Sections: Allocate extra time to sections you find


challenging and ensure you understand them thoroughly before moving on.

5. Attend Revision Sessions & Seek Help:

School Resources: If your teacher offers extra classes or revision sessions,


attend them to clarify doubts.

Study Groups: Study with classmates who are also preparing for the exam.
Teaching each other can help reinforce your own understanding.

6. Final Revision Tips:


Make a summary of key concepts, formulas, and drawing rules.

Practice labeling and dimensioning accurately, as small mistakes can result


in lost marks.

On the exam day, stay calm, read the instructions carefully, and use
construction lines lightly to maintain a clean drawing.

With consistent practice and focus, you’ll increase your chances of achieving
that 90% goal. Good luck with your preparation!
