CAPF ASI Stenographer study plan

CAPF ASI Stenographer · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

General Intelligence and Reasoning & Quantitative Aptitude

  • Diagnose current speed and accuracy by completing one timed 25-question set each for reasoning and quantitative aptitude and recording per-topic scores

  • Build a daily 15-minute mental-math drill covering tables up to 20, squares up to 30, and percentage-to-fraction conversions

  • Classify every reasoning question type into analogy, classification, series, coding-decoding, blood relations, direction sense, syllogism, and non-verbal, and note your weakest three

  • Set up a single error log with columns for question type, time taken, cause of error, and corrective rule

Your checkpoint

A one-page baseline scorecard listing accuracy percentage and average time per question for all eight reasoning types and six quant topics, plus the first 20 error-log entries

Week 2

General Intelligence and Reasoning & Quantitative Aptitude

  • Drill series completion and analogy questions in blocks of 20 until you sustain 80 percent accuracy

  • Learn and apply the standard short-cut methods for percentage, ratio, and average problems and solve 40 mixed questions

  • Practise coding-decoding and blood-relation puzzles using diagram-first solving rather than mental tracking

  • Review all week-1 error-log entries and rewrite each missed question correctly without looking at the solution

Your checkpoint

A timed 50-question mixed set (25 reasoning, 25 quant) completed in 50 minutes with a written accuracy report and revised error log

Week 3

General Intelligence and Reasoning & Quantitative Aptitude

  • Master syllogism using Venn diagrams and solve 30 questions with zero conceptual errors

  • Complete speed, time and distance, and time and work problem sets using unitary and LCM methods

  • Practise direction sense and seating arrangement puzzles with fixed notation conventions

  • Introduce a 10-minute daily calculation sprint to raise arithmetic speed under pressure

Your checkpoint

A 60-question sectional test (30 reasoning, 30 quant) scored and analysed, with the three slowest question types identified and a remediation note for each

Week 4

General Intelligence and Reasoning & Quantitative Aptitude

  • Consolidate non-verbal reasoning: figure series, mirror images, paper folding, and embedded figures

  • Solve profit and loss, simple and compound interest, and mensuration problems using formula sheets you write yourself

  • Reduce average time per reasoning question to under 45 seconds on familiar types

  • Re-attempt every still-unresolved error-log question and close at least 80 percent of them

Your checkpoint

A full-length 100-question mock covering only domains 1 and 3, completed in 100 minutes, with a topic-wise score table and a list of the five weakest areas to carry into the second half of the plan

Week 5

General Knowledge and General Awareness & English Comprehension

  • Map the general awareness syllabus into static GK, Indian polity and constitution, geography, history, economy, and current affairs, and rate your confidence in each

  • Build a rolling current-affairs log covering the past six months from one newspaper and one monthly digest, capped at 20 items per week

  • Revise core English grammar rules for tense, subject-verb agreement, articles, prepositions, and common confusions

  • Complete 100 error-spotting and sentence-improvement questions and tag each error by grammar rule

Your checkpoint

A 100-item current-affairs and static GK fact sheet in your own words, plus a grammar error-frequency chart showing which five rules cause most of your mistakes

Week 6

General Knowledge and General Awareness & English Comprehension

  • Memorise key constitutional facts: fundamental rights, directive principles, schedules, and major amendments

  • Practise synonym, antonym, and one-word substitution sets of 30 questions each and record unfamiliar words in a personal vocabulary list

  • Complete reading-comprehension passages under a strict eight-minute limit and identify the question stems that cost you most time

  • Review polity and geography notes using active recall rather than re-reading

Your checkpoint

A 50-question English sectional test (grammar, vocabulary, comprehension) scored above your week-1 baseline, plus a vocabulary list of at least 80 new words with usage sentences

Week 7

General Knowledge and General Awareness & English Comprehension

  • Cover Indian history and economy essentials through timeline and concept maps rather than isolated facts

  • Drill cloze tests, para jumbles, and idiom usage in timed blocks of 20

  • Cross-check your current-affairs log against a second source and correct or drop any unverified entries

  • Hold a 30-minute weekly review of all four domains using spaced-repetition flashcards

Your checkpoint

A two-page condensed revision sheet per general awareness subject and a full English mock of 50 questions completed within 40 minutes

Week 8

General Intelligence and Reasoning & General Knowledge and General Awareness & Quantitative Aptitude & English Comprehension

  • Take three full-length mixed mocks across all four domains on alternate days and analyse each within 24 hours

  • Rehearse a fixed section-order and time-allocation strategy and hold it across all three mocks

  • Revisit only high-yield error-log entries and formula sheets; stop adding new material

  • Simulate exam-day conditions including sleep timing, no breaks, and OMR-style answer marking

Your checkpoint

A final readiness report showing scores and time splits for all three mocks, the improvement trend against the week-4 baseline, and a one-page exam-day checklist

Milestones

Week 2: Reach at least 70 percent accuracy on a timed 50-question reasoning and quant mixed set, with an error log that is being updated after every practice session

Week 4: Score at least 60 percent on the 100-question domains 1 and 3 mock within the time limit, and have closed 80 percent of outstanding error-log questions

Week 6: Score above your week-1 English baseline on the 50-question sectional test and demonstrate recall of at least 70 percent of the current-affairs fact sheet in a self-quiz

Week 8: Complete three full-length mocks with a rising score trend, stable time allocation across sections, and no unresolved high-frequency error types in the log
