Sample Pancyprian TS Arch. Drawing (P.K.) Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Pancyprian TS Arch. Drawing (P.K.) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In first-angle orthographic projection (the European/ISO convention used in Cyprus technical drawing), where is the top view (plan) placed relative to the front elevation?
A.Directly above the front elevation
B.To the left of the front elevation
C.To the right of the front elevation
D.Directly below the front elevation
Explanation: In first-angle projection the object sits between the observer and the projection plane. After the horizontal plane is unfolded downward about the ground line, the plan appears directly below the front elevation.
2Orthographic projection is best defined as a projection system in which the projectors from the object to the picture plane are:
A.At 30° and 60° to the picture plane
B.Parallel to the picture plane
C.Perpendicular to the picture plane
D.Converging to a single vanishing point
Explanation: Orthographic (orthogonal) projection uses projectors that are mutually parallel and perpendicular to the picture plane, so true lengths and angles are preserved on faces parallel to that plane.
3In first-angle projection, the view obtained by looking at the right-hand side of the object is placed:
A.Below the plan view only
B.To the left of the front view
C.To the right of the front view
D.Above the front view
Explanation: In first-angle layout the right-side view is drawn to the left of the front view because the vertical side plane unfolds away from the object in that direction.
4Which statement correctly distinguishes orthographic views from a perspective drawing of the same building?
A.Orthographic views keep faces parallel to the picture plane at true scale; perspective foreshortens them toward vanishing points
B.Orthographic views always show the building smaller than perspective
C.Perspective drawings never show vertical edges
D.Orthographic views require three vanishing points
Explanation: Orthographic elevations and plans measure true lengths on faces parallel to the sheet. Perspective intentionally foreshortens edges toward vanishing points to mimic binocular vision.
5When three principal orthographic views of a rectangular prism are drawn, which pair of dimensions is shared between the front elevation and the plan?
A.Depth only
B.Height only
C.Diagonal space diagonal only
D.Width (horizontal extent of the front face)
Explanation: The front elevation and plan share the object's width along the shared horizontal folding line. Height appears only in elevations; depth appears in plan and side views.
6A multi-view orthographic drawing of a building typically includes which combination of principal views?
A.Only a one-point perspective
B.Only a freehand sketch without projection rules
C.Plan (top), front elevation, and at least one side elevation or section as required
D.Only a single isometric view
Explanation: Architectural orthographic sets use coordinated plans, elevations and sections so every critical face and cut can be measured. Isometric or perspective sheets may accompany them but do not replace the measurable orthographic set.
7If the front elevation of an object is drawn and the plan is then projected using first-angle construction, projector lines between corresponding points should be:
A.Converging to a horizon line
B.Perpendicular to the shared fold (ground) line between the two views
C.Drawn freehand without alignment
D.Always at 45° to the ground line
Explanation: Corresponding points in adjacent orthographic views are linked by projectors perpendicular to the fold line so widths align exactly between plan and elevation.
8An auxiliary orthographic view is used when:
A.A face is inclined to the principal planes and its true shape is needed
B.The drawing must be coloured
C.Only furniture layout is required
D.The sheet size must be reduced
Explanation: Auxiliary views are projected onto a plane parallel to an inclined face so that face appears in true shape and size—information the principal views foreshorten.
9In an orthographic elevation of a building, surfaces that are perpendicular to the picture plane appear as:
A.True-shape rectangles always
B.Circles of true diameter always
C.Perspective vanishing lines
D.Edges (lines) or points of zero area on that elevation
Explanation: A surface perpendicular to the elevation plane is edge-on to the viewer, so it projects as a line (or a point if it is an edge viewed end-on), not as an area of true shape.
10Which projection method produces a pictorial view with three axes equally foreshortened at 120° in the plane of the paper?
A.One-point perspective
B.Oblique cavalier with full depth only
C.Isometric projection
D.First-angle orthographic multi-view only
Explanation: Isometric projection places the three principal axes 120° apart in the drawing, with equal foreshortening along each axis, giving a measurable pictorial image.

About the Pancyprian TS Arch. Drawing (P.K.) Exam

The Pancyprian Access Examination in Technical School Architectural Drawing (Practical Direction) (code 502, ΑΡΧΙΤΕΚΤΟΝΙΚΟ ΣΧΕΔΙΟ Τ.Σ.

Pancyprian TS Arch. Drawing (P.K.): Suggested Study Strategy

1Read the official 2026 specification table for code 502 (ΑΡΧΙΤΕΚΤΟΝΙΚΟ ΣΧΕΔΙΟ Τ.Σ. (Π.Κ.)) before drilling MCQs.
2Practise producing plans, sections, stair drawings and construction details at the scales used in class—MCQs alone cannot replace that.
3After each wrong answer, redraw the related convention (line type, dimension string, stair profile) once by hand.
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 Technical School Architectural Drawing (Practical Direction) exam?

No. The official assessment is administered by the Cyprus Examinations Service as a drawing paper under code 502. This bank is a free English-language MCQ study adaptation for revision; practise producing drawings with official past papers and the specification. MCQs cannot replace drawing production.

How is code 502 different from code 026?

Code 502 is ΑΡΧΙΤΕΚΤΟΝΙΚΟ ΣΧΕΔΙΟ Τ.Σ. (Π.Κ.) for Technical School Practical Direction candidates. Code 026 is ΑΡΧΙΤΕΚΤΟΝΙΚΟ ΣΧΕΔΙΟ Τ.Σ. (Θ.Κ.) for Theoretical Direction. They are separate subjects with separate papers and eligibility rules.

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.

What does the official 502 specification cover?

The official Πίνακας Προδιαγραφών lists architecture in Cyprus, architectural study of a dwelling, stairs, and detail drawings (across knowledge/understanding/application/analysis cells). Questions may be drawn from any cell of that table.

Why is the practice bank in English?

OpenExamPrep publishes one English-language practice URL per exam. The official paper is in Greek (el). The bank is not an official translation of the Greek exam environment.

How should I use this bank with official materials?

Use the bank to diagnose weak knowledge areas (projection, scales, symbols, sections, dimensioning, building elements), then switch to Θέματα - Λύσεις and timed drawing practice on panexams.moec.gov.cy—skills this MCQ bank cannot certify.
