Expert take: what UCEED really tests

UCEED tests design aptitude, not curriculum — Part A rewards visualisation, observation and reasoning, and Part B rewards the ability to draw and develop an idea under time. Because Part B is evaluated only if you clear Part A, you must be strong on both, and a daily sketching habit is what separates candidates.
