1In first-angle orthographic projection (the European/ISO method used in Cyprus), where is the top view (plan) placed in relation to the front view?
A.Directly below the front view
B.Directly above the front view
C.To the left of the front view
D.To the right of the front view
Explanation: In first-angle projection the object lies between the observer and the plane of projection, so the horizontal plane receives the top view from underneath. When that horizontal plane is folded downward about the ground line into the sheet, the top view ends up directly below the front view.
2How many principal orthographic views can be obtained for an object?
A.Three
B.Six
C.Four
D.Two
Explanation: The object can be enclosed in a glass box whose six faces give six principal views: front, top (plan), right side, left side, rear, and bottom. In practice only the views needed to describe the object fully are drawn, but six principal views exist.
3The ISO projection symbol on a drawing shows a truncated cone (frustum). If the two concentric circles appear to the RIGHT of the trapezoid, which projection system does the drawing use?
A.Third-angle projection
B.Oblique projection
C.First-angle projection
D.Axonometric projection
Explanation: The ISO symbol is a pair of views of a frustum. In first-angle projection the view from the left side of the object is placed on the right of the front view, so the symbol with the concentric circles to the right of the trapezoid denotes first-angle projection.
4Which statement correctly defines orthographic projection?
A.Projectors radiate from a single point, as in perspective
B.Projectors are parallel to each other and inclined at 45 degrees to the plane
C.The object is rotated between successive projections
D.Projectors are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the plane of projection
Explanation: Orthographic projection uses projectors that are parallel to one another and strike the plane of projection at right angles. Because the observer is effectively at infinity, the views show true relationships without perspective convergence.
5In first-angle projection, the view obtained by looking at the right side of the object is placed...
A.to the right of the front view
B.above the front view
C.to the left of the front view
D.below the front view
Explanation: In first-angle projection each view is projected onto the plane behind the object and the box is unfolded in the opposite sense to third-angle. As a result the right-side view appears on the left of the front view, and the left-side view on the right.
6The reference line along which the vertical (frontal) plane and the horizontal plane of projection intersect is called...
A.the ground line (XY line)
B.the horizon line
C.the centre line
D.the cutting plane line
Explanation: The two principal planes of projection intersect in a straight line known as the ground line or XY line. All projections are related to this line: the frontal projection lies above it and, after folding, the horizontal projection lies below it.
7When choosing the front view of an object, you should select the view that...
A.shows the greatest number of hidden lines
B.is drawn at the largest available scale
C.faces the nearest corner of the object
D.shows the most characteristic shape and detail with the fewest hidden lines
Explanation: The front view is the principal view and should display the object's most informative and characteristic outline. Choosing the direction with the most visible detail and fewest hidden lines makes the whole drawing easier to read and dimension.
8Edges and contours that exist on the object but are not visible from the viewing direction are drawn with...
A.continuous thick lines
B.thin dashed (hidden) lines
C.chain thin centre lines
D.continuous thin freehand lines
Explanation: Hidden edges are represented by thin dashed lines made of short equal dashes. This lets a view show interior or rear features without a section, while distinguishing them from visible outlines.
9A solid gives a rectangular front view and a circular top view. The solid is...
A.a cylinder with a vertical axis
B.a sphere
C.a cone with a vertical axis
D.a cylinder with a horizontal axis
Explanation: A vertical cylinder projects as a rectangle on the frontal plane (its side profile) and as a circle on the horizontal plane (its base seen from above). This combination of rectangle plus circle is the classic signature of an upright cylinder.
10For most engineering components, how many principal views are normally drawn to describe the object completely?
A.Always exactly two
B.Three - typically front, top and one side view
C.Always all six
D.One, provided it is sectioned
Explanation: The usual working set is three views - front, top (plan), and a side view - which together fix length, width and height. Simpler parts may need only two views, and complex parts more, so the keyword is 'normally', not 'always'.

Pancyprian Arch. Drawing: Suggested Study Strategy

1Read the official 2026 specification row for code 023 (ΑΡΧΙΤΕΚΤΟΝΙΚΟ - ΤΕΧΝΙΚΟ ΣΧΕΔΙΟ) on the Examinations Service guide before drilling MCQs.
2After each wrong answer, rewrite the rule or concept in your own words with one new example.
3Schedule weekly timed practice with official past papers so you build the non-MCQ skills the real paper requires.
4Track weak categories from this bank and re-test them after 48 hours.
5Confirm logistics (centre, materials, language of response) from panexams.moec.gov.cy announcements, not from third-party summaries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the official Pancyprian Architectural and Technical Drawing exam?

No. The official assessment is administered by the Cyprus Examinations Service as a constructed-response, drawing, performance or mixed paper under code 023. This bank is a free English-language MCQ study adaptation for revision; practise every required non-MCQ component with official past papers and the specification.

How is the subject marked?

Like all Pancyprian access subjects it is marked on a 0–20 scale. There is no pass mark; the grade contributes to the access/ranking grade used for admission to public universities in Cyprus and Greece.

What is the 2026 exam fee?

EUR 25.00 per access subject (EUR 50.00 only for Practical Physical Performance Test code 032), payable by card in the official 2–17 April 2026 window, with exemptions for specified groups.

Who can sit this examination?

Final-year student or graduate of a Cyprus public secondary school (lyceum cycle), the English School Nicosia, a licensed private school, or an equivalent foreign upper-secondary school (with certification), within Examinations Service nationality/residence rules. Applications are electronic; un-promoted final-year students with 135+ absences are excluded.

Why is the practice bank in English?

OpenExamPrep publishes one English-language practice URL per exam. Where the tested skill is another language, stems/options may retain that language while explanations stay in English. The bank is not an official translation of the Greek (or other) exam environment.

How should I use this bank with official materials?

Use the bank to diagnose weak syllabus areas, then switch to Θέματα - Λύσεις and the official specification on panexams.moec.gov.cy for timed written, drawing or performance practice that this bank does not simulate.
