APPSC AMVI study plan

Build a one-page formula sheet for speed ratios, gear trains, and simple machines, then solve 30 numerical problems on it without notes

Complete 40 arithmetic and reasoning items (ratios, averages, percentages, series) under a 35-minute timer and log every error by cause

Draw and label free-body diagrams for 10 standard mechanisms (four-bar, slider-crank, belt drive, gear pair) and state the force balance for each

Set up a personal error log spreadsheet with columns for domain, subtopic, error type, and re-test date

Solve 25 kinematics problems covering velocity and acceleration diagrams, relative motion, and instantaneous centres

Work through 20 friction, clutch, and brake-torque numericals and verify each answer by a second method

Practice 30 Indian polity and geography questions (Constitution articles, states, rivers) and note three facts per wrong answer

Explain aloud, in under two minutes each, the working of a governor, a flywheel, and a cam follower

Map the complete drivetrain from engine to wheel on one diagram, labelling clutch, gearbox, propeller shaft, differential, and axle types

Compare sliding-mesh, constant-mesh, and synchromesh gearboxes and write the shift path for each in first and reverse

Solve 15 gear-ratio, final-drive, and road-speed-versus-engine-rpm numericals

List steering geometry terms (caster, camber, toe, kingpin inclination) with the effect of each on tyre wear and handling

Describe suspension types (leaf spring, MacPherson strut, double wishbone, air suspension) and match each to a vehicle class

Solve 15 braking numericals on stopping distance, deceleration, brake efficiency, and weight transfer

Trace the four-stroke cycle for petrol and diesel engines and tabulate valve timing, firing order, and compression ratio differences

Summarise fuel properties (octane, cetane, calorific value, volatility) and their effect on knocking and cold starting

Diagram carburettor, MPFI, and common-rail diesel fuel systems and list the sensors and actuators of each

Explain the three-way catalytic converter, EGR, DPF, and BS-VI norms, and state which pollutant each controls

Draw the charging, starting, and ignition circuits and describe the function of alternator, regulator, and starter solenoid

Solve 20 electrical numericals on battery capacity, Ohm's law in series-parallel circuits, and starter current draw

Tabulate the key sections of the Motor Vehicles Act covering licensing, registration, insurance, penalties, and permit types

Build a one-page penalty and fine reference table with the amount and section for each offence

Answer 40 scenario questions on vehicle documentation, fitness certificates, and transport permits, citing the governing provision

Draft the exact sequence of steps a driver must follow after a road accident, from reporting to insurance claim

Compute spot speed, time-mean and space-mean speed, PCU, and traffic volume from sample field data

Explain accident investigation procedure: scene documentation, skid-mark analysis, and reconstruction of speed from skid length

Identify ten road-safety countermeasures (signage, rumble strips, crash barriers, junction design) and the hazard each addresses

Revisit all Week 6 statutory errors and re-test the missed items

Take two full-length timed mock tests under exam conditions and log every error by domain

Re-solve only the previously logged wrong questions until each is correct without reference

Revise the formula sheet and statutory reference sheet twice, covering each from memory

Simulate the final week's revision schedule and confirm sleep and timing routine
