Is this the official Pancyprian Jewellery Construction Technology III exam?

No. The official assessment is administered by the Cyprus Examinations Service as an applied, diagrammatic, calculation and/or workshop-linked paper under code 508. 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 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 workshop practice that this bank does not simulate.

Sample Pancyprian TS Jewellery III Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Pancyprian TS Jewellery III exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1What does the karat (K) number on gold jewellery primarily indicate?

A.The hardness rating of the finished piece

B.The proportion of pure gold in the alloy by parts per 24

C.The melting point of the solder used

D.The density of the gemstone set in the piece

Explanation: Karat expresses gold purity as parts of pure gold in 24. For example, 18K gold is 18/24 (75%) gold alloyed with other metals for strength and colour.

2Which fineness mark corresponds to sterling silver?

A.800

B.925

C.999

D.750

Explanation: Sterling silver is traditionally 92.5% silver and 7.5% alloying metal (usually copper), marked 925. Pure silver (999) is softer and less suitable for most jewellery construction.

3Why is pure gold (24K) rarely used alone for rings that will be worn daily?

A.It cannot be soldered with any flux

B.It is too soft and wears or deforms quickly under normal use

C.It oxidises faster than copper

D.It has a lower melting point than lead solder

Explanation: Pure gold is very malleable and soft. Alloying with copper, silver or other metals increases hardness and durability for everyday jewellery such as rings.

4What is the main purpose of adding copper to a silver jewellery alloy?

A.To make the silver magnetic

B.To increase hardness and strength for workshop forming and wear

C.To lower the silver’s electrical conductivity for safety

D.To eliminate the need for flux when soldering

Explanation: Copper hardens silver, improving durability and workability for jewellery. Sterling (925) commonly uses copper as the alloying metal.

5Which precious metal is typically denser and more chemically resistant than gold or silver in jewellery work?

A.Aluminium

B.Platinum

C.Tin

D.Zinc

Explanation: Platinum is denser and highly resistant to corrosion and tarnish. It is used for high-value settings and durable jewellery, though it requires higher working temperatures than gold or silver.

6What does annealing do to work-hardened jewellery metal?

A.It permanently increases hardness without changing microstructure

B.It softens the metal by relieving work hardening so further forming is possible

C.It coats the metal with a protective oxide for soldering

D.It chemically removes copper from the alloy surface

Explanation: Cold working hardens metal. Annealing (controlled heating and cooling) restores ductility so the jeweller can continue bending, drawing or forging without cracking.

7Which statement best describes the difference between brass and bronze in traditional metal terminology?

A.Brass is copper + zinc; bronze is primarily copper + tin

B.Brass is copper + tin; bronze is copper + zinc

C.Both are pure zinc alloys with different names

D.Bronze is always sterling silver with a copper colourant

Explanation: In common workshop usage, brass is a copper–zinc alloy and bronze is primarily a copper–tin alloy. Both appear in jewellery findings, tools and decorative metalwork.

8What is the approximate pure-gold content of 18K gold?

A.50%

B.75%

C.90%

D.99.9%

Explanation: 18 ÷ 24 = 0.75, so 18K gold is about 75% pure gold (often marked 750). The remaining 25% is alloying metals that adjust colour and hardness.

9Why do jewellers often pickle metal after heating or soldering?

A.To raise the melting point of the next solder joint

B.To remove oxides and flux residues from the surface

C.To permanently harden the metal without annealing

D.To magnetise steel tools before finishing

Explanation: Pickling (typically in a warm dilute acid bath) dissolves oxides and leftover flux so the metal surface is clean for inspection, further soldering or finishing.

10Which alloying addition is most associated with giving yellow gold a reddish (rose) colour?

A.Nickel

B.Copper

C.Palladium

D.Cadmium

Explanation: Higher copper content shifts gold alloys toward pink/rose tones. Nickel or palladium are more associated with white-gold colour systems.
