Prepare According to Pattern of Exam
- AFCAT exam consists of 4 sections namely General English, Quantitative Aptitude, Reasoning and General Awareness. Instead of preparing any section as per your choice, go for the most likely and maximum marks weightage section.

- Topics such as Time & Works, S.I & C.I., Profit & Loss, Percentages can be commonly found in every exam
- Practice Non-verbal reasoning like find the figure embedded, series completion, Venn diagram, placements of dots, odd figure out almost 27-30 questions are asked in this section and it's very easy to score in this section.
- Do not go for any kind of books for Paragraphs, Error handling as vocabulary part is not predictable in this exam and a month time is not sufficient to improve one's vocabulary. It will only consume your time and degrade your morale if you aren't able to answer any question or get stuck while preparations
- Just solve previous year question papers because the pattern of the exam is almost the same every session
- Make sure you read only those Antonyms and Synonyms which were asked in the previous year exams. There is always a possibility that they are repeated.
- Lastly, for GK go through a book like Lucent or Arihant as they have mostly all important information and quite a concise form.
- Prepare for current affairs of 6 months and avoid in-depth study as only the main information is required.
