How to Use AP DEECET Previous Year Papers?
- Pick your Part B subject and medium first. Each year page lists one paper per subject and medium. Solve your own subject’s paper from every year before trying others.
- Practise Part A from any paper. Questions 1 to 60 are common to all subjects, so the Part A of every paper on this page is useful practice. Teaching Aptitude always comes first, as questions 1 to 5.
- Match the key to your set and medium. The 2020 keys are set-wise (Set I for Mathematics and Biological Science, Set II for Physical Science and Social Studies). In 2019 the English-medium and English/Telugu-medium keys differ, so use the key for your medium.
- Check the 2025 answers yourself. The 2025 papers are response-sheet copies that show one candidate’s choices, not the correct answers. Work each answer out before trusting the marked option.
- Aim above the qualifying mark. You need 50 out of 100 (45 for SC, ST and PH) just to get a rank, so score each practice paper and track how far above that line you are.
