Engineering Graphics and Design Past Papers and Memos
Grade 12 Engineering Graphics and Design past papers and marking guidelines, free and fully offline.
EGD is not a subject you can revise by reading. You get better at it by drawing the same paper types until the construction lines stop being a decision and start being a habit.
The Grade 12 EGD App carries the DBE past papers and memos, broken down by drawing type, so you can work through civil analytical, mechanical assembly, interpenetration and loci one category at a time.

How to actually use a past paper
Downloading papers is not studying. This is the loop that moves a mark.
- 01
Pick a paper you have not seen
Choose a full past paper from a year you have not worked through. Recent papers matter most, but older ones repeat the same question types, so do not skip them.
- 02
Write it under exam conditions
Full time limit, no notes, no phone in reach. A paper you did with the memo open teaches you nothing about what you actually know.
- 03
Mark yourself against the memo
Use the official marking guideline and mark strictly. Method marks matter — mark them the way an examiner would, not the way you wish they would.
- 04
Work through every mistake
For each lost mark, find out why you lost it. Ask the AI tutor in the app to work the question out step by step until you can redo it from a blank page.
- 05
Repeat the question type, not the paper
Find three more questions on the same topic from other years and do those. Papers repeat their patterns — that is the entire reason past papers work.
