Once you have prepared for model making according to themes one of the most important things is time management and not getting distracted by what other students in the class are making as their models for the similar questions.

We might have a brilliant idea for the model we want to make for the NIFT Situation test or NID Studio test. However unless we know how to execute that model, make sure it stands properly, make sure that the correct colours are used and make sure that it is structurally secure as well as well composed to transmit the idea as well as it is in our mind we will struggle to convey our idea in a model. Here you can see students actually working on various structures, forms, 3 D structures and learning the basic art of 3 D model making. This gives you the confidence of being able to quickly make these structures when you sit for the actual exam. If you want to represent a building with a cuboid or a cylinder you need to know how these 3 D structures are made out of various papers.
Once you have made your theme based model for the NIFT Situation Test or NID Studio Test what you need is feedback from an experienced teacher. Since it takes time to make a model group feedback is even more powerful as you can learn from each other when the teacher gives feedback in a group. Here you can see one of the NIFT alumni teachers giving feedback to AFS students in a group.
One of the important skills is techniques of making models with various materials which are taught by experienced teachers at AFS.
Materials at the time of the NIFT Situation test or NID Studio Test are provided by the institute at the examination hall and this material is decided by them.

Hence it is very important to learn to work within the material provided and learn to work with a variety of material.
Here you can see examples of working with transparent tracing paper or Gateway paper sheets and chart paper or art paper.
