It is one of the few design tests that does not require a skill in sketching and is conducted entirely on a computer, nor does it have a second round of testing. This test is out of 300 marks containing 80 questions, the first two sections containing 20 each while the last section contains 40 questions. The last sections is known to be the trickiest.
The structure of the test is as follows:
Section A: Numerical Answer Type (NAT) Questions
For these questions, the answer is a number that needs to be entered using a virtual keyboard in the computer screen. No choices will be shown for these questions. Each correct answer will be awarded 4 marks. There is NO NEGATIVE marks for this section. Questions not attempted will be given zero mark.
Section B: Multiple Select Questions (MSQ)
