CEED last few days preparation priority list

 List of topics to prepare and to skip (2021 update)

Part B

1. Avoid spending hours for sketching of one particular question.
2. Problem identification (given a product or scenario) and creativity are the the two area which you should continue till the last day. You don’t have to sketch, just list down the identified problems or quickly scribble the creativity part.
3. Do quick scribbling of line sketching and do a few situation based exercises too, like at least two situations in just one half an hour!
4. Don’t spend more than three hours per day for part B, if you have the whole day for your preparation.

Part A

1. Skip current affairs and GK
2. Skip Materials and Manufacturing process study
3. If you have started your preparation recently - skip design awareness (like culture, designers, painters etc. - from here on let’s term this as GA)
4. If you have been preparing for a while, esp. the image based and non verbal part and haven’t touched GA part then quickly revise the following GA topics
• Painting, state wise painting, art and all.
• Quickly go through colour theory
• Famous designers,
• Quickly about photography
• Based on leftover time, plan to cover any other GA topics that you felt imp.
• Revise and practice some samples of nonverbal and image involved aptitude questions, including ability questions
• Practice at least one previous paper with a time limit. It’s fine to cross check the answers but never ever try to estimate the score or check if that score is sufficient or not! Remember, whether you prepare or not your positive attitude and confidence are very important and if you keep comparing scores you might loose your confidence....for no reason. So be smart!
5. If you are not ready with non verbal too (just started), then do the following
• Skip current affairs
• Skip entire GA including about designers, materials etc. No need to touch any and it’s absolutely ok, especially if you feel you can pick up some score from the below preparation
• Practice wholly (apart from the sketching) on
• Abstract tests
• Solids and their manipulation (folding, unfolding, different views, counting no. of surfaces etc.)
• General, mechanical and spatial ability
• Deductive reasoning
• Odd man out series
• Revise basic math formulas (check the formulas in this video and they are more than sufficient)
• Skip signs, symbols etc,
• Skip paragraph comprehension (just face them during exam)
• Base on time availability you may plan to cover the utmost imp GA topics as listed above
6. Again, Practice at least one previous paper with a time limit. It’s fine to cross check the answers but never ever try to estimate the score or check if that score is sufficient or not! Remember, whether you prepare or not your positive attitude and confidence are very important and if you keep comparing scores you might loose your confidence....for no reason. So be smart!

That’s it...

All the best, 
Your bro,
