AIIMS CRE study plan

AIIMS CRE · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Quantitative Aptitude and Numerical Ability & General Intelligence and Reasoning

Diagnose baseline by taking one timed 40-question mixed arithmetic and reasoning set and record section-wise accuracy
Drill percentage, ratio-proportion and average problems until 30 questions are solved with at least 80% accuracy
Build a one-page formula sheet covering percentages, ratios, averages and simple interest from your own worked examples
Solve 25 series-completion and analogy reasoning items and label each by the rule type used

A scored baseline sheet showing accuracy per question type plus a handwritten one-page formula sheet

Week 2

Solve 40 time-work and time-speed-distance problems, tracking time per question
Convert every word problem in this week's set into an equation before solving to cut careless errors
Practice 20 data-interpretation questions on tables and bar charts with a 90-second cap per question
Review all wrong answers and rewrite each as a corrected step-by-step solution

An error log of at least 20 corrected problems with the mistake category tagged for each

Week 3

Complete 60 reasoning items across coding-decoding, blood relations, direction sense and ordering
Draw diagrams for every seating-arrangement and blood-relation item rather than solving mentally
Time yourself on 2 sets of 20 reasoning questions at 45 seconds each and note where you overrun
Memorize the standard odd-one-out and classification patterns you missed and re-test them

A timing chart for 40 reasoning questions showing per-question time and accuracy per topic

Week 4

Solve 50 mixed quantitative questions under a 50-minute timer to build speed under pressure
Complete 30 non-verbal and figure-based reasoning items including mirror images and embedded figures
Revisit the week 1-3 error logs and re-solve every item until each is correct without notes
Identify your three weakest question types and schedule extra drills for them in weeks 5-6

A full-length 100-question quantitative-plus-reasoning mock with section scores and a ranked weakness list

Week 5

Compile a dated current-affairs digest covering the past 6 months from at least two independent news sources
Group static GK into science, polity, history, geography and economy and write 10 facts per group from memory
Take 3 sets of 25 general-awareness questions and record accuracy per group
Build a revision list of only the facts you got wrong, capped at 100 items

A 100-item personal fact sheet plus a scored three-set general-awareness log

Week 6

Complete 40 reading-comprehension passages and mark the line in the passage that supports each answer
Drill 30 grammar items on subject-verb agreement, tenses, prepositions and articles
Practice 20 error-spotting and sentence-improvement questions with written justification for each choice
Update the current-affairs digest with the latest two weeks and re-test 25 facts from memory

A comprehension accuracy sheet showing passage scores and a list of recurring grammar error types

Week 7

Write 10 short paraphrases and 10 cloze-test sets to sharpen vocabulary in context
Revise the formula sheet and error logs for 60 minutes without new material
Solve 40 quantitative questions at exam pace, aiming to finish 10% faster than week 4
Take one English section mock and analyze every wrong answer for cause

An English section mock score report with a written cause analysis for each incorrect answer

Week 8

Take 3 full-length timed mocks covering all four domains on separate days
Spend one session per mock reviewing every error and updating the error logs
Rehearse the exam-day sequence: question order, skip rule and time checkpoints
Reduce revision to the fact sheet, formula sheet and error logs only in the final two days

Three completed full-length mocks with scores, review notes and a final one-page exam-day strategy card

Week 2: Score at least 70% on a 40-question quantitative set and finish within 40 minutes

Week 4: Score at least 60% overall on a 100-question quantitative-plus-reasoning mock, with no single topic below 50%

Week 6: Score at least 65% on a general-awareness set of 50 questions and at least 70% on a 2-passage comprehension set

Week 8: Average at least 65% across the three full-length mocks with steady or improving scores and no section below 55%
