How to Use JEE Advanced AAT Previous Year Papers?
- Give each section about 36 minutes. Five sections of equal marks in 3 hours. Finish the 15 multiple-choice questions of Section A quickly so the drawing sections get their full time.
- Attempt every Section A question. There is no negative marking in the multiple-choice part, so mark an answer for all 15.
- Solve 2025, 2024 and 2023 first, then go back to 2017. Every paper since 2017 has the same 16-question layout. Note recurring tasks, such as the 2023 drawing built around a current event.
- Get your drawings checked. There are no answer keys for drawing answers, so show your sheets to an architecture teacher or senior. AAT 2027 is expected in June 2027, about seven months away.
