 2) Practice 2D drawing, 3D drawing and develop Perspective for the drawing part.

3) As a part of your preparation, note down famous national buildings and international buildings. You might be asked to spot the structures.

This will help you understand the types of questions asked in the exam.

There are no set number of hours that you must study to crack this exam. I think studying smartly is more important. If you will start enjoying the preparation – you will end up clearing the exam with ease.
