CAPF ASI Stenographer study plan
CAPF ASI Stenographer · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
