ESIC MTS study plan
ESIC MTS · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
General Intelligence and Reasoning & Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability
Classify 60 reasoning items into series, analogy, coding-decoding, blood relation, direction sense, and syllogism, and record the exact solving rule you used for each category
Solve 40 simplification and approximation items using squares up to 30, cubes up to 15, and fraction-percentage equivalents, timing each set at 45 seconds per item
Build a one-page formula sheet covering percentage, average, ratio, and profit-loss conversions, and rewrite it from memory at week end
Log every wrong answer with the reason it was wrong: concept gap, calculation slip, or misread question
Your checkpoint
A handwritten error log with at least 50 entries tagged by domain, topic, and error type
General Intelligence and Reasoning & Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability
Solve 50 seating-arrangement and puzzle sets, starting with linear and circular arrangements before floor-based puzzles
Complete 40 number-series and alphabet-series items in under 20 minutes total, writing the pattern next to each answer
Drill 40 ratio, proportion, and partnership problems, converting every answer back into the original units to catch unit errors
Attempt one 25-minute mixed set of 20 reasoning plus 20 numerical items under exam timing
Your checkpoint
A timed 50-item mixed set scored and fully reviewed, with a topic-wise accuracy table
General Intelligence and Reasoning & Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability
Work through 30 syllogism and inequality items using Venn diagrams and the either-or case checklist
Solve 40 time-work and time-speed-distance problems, including pipes, trains, and boats, using the unitary and efficiency methods
Memorise and apply the standard coding-decoding pattern families, then solve 30 mixed coding items
Reduce average solving time per reasoning item to under 60 seconds across two 20-item sprints
Your checkpoint
A timing sheet showing per-topic average seconds for at least six reasoning and arithmetic topics
General Awareness & English Language
Compile a dated current-affairs digest covering the previous three months from one national newspaper and one monthly compilation, focusing on appointments, schemes, sports, awards, and economy indicators
Revise static general awareness by theme: Indian polity articles and schedules, geography of India, and basic science
Practise 40 English grammar items on subject-verb agreement, articles, prepositions, and tenses, and note each rule violated
Learn 60 high-frequency exam words with one synonym, one antonym, and one usage sentence each
Your checkpoint
A current-affairs digest of at least 150 dated bullet points plus a 60-word vocabulary list with usage sentences
General Awareness & English Language
Answer 100 general awareness items spanning history, polity, geography, economy, and science, and convert every miss into a one-line fact card
Solve 30 reading-comprehension passages, practising skimming for the main idea before reading the questions
Complete 40 error-spotting and sentence-improvement items, applying the grammar rules learned in week 4
Draft 10 precise one-paragraph summaries of news editorials to sharpen comprehension and writing control
Your checkpoint
A set of 100 fact cards and a comprehension accuracy score across 30 passages
General Intelligence and Reasoning & Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability
Revisit the week 1-3 error log and re-solve every logged item without looking at the previous solution
Solve 40 data-interpretation sets from tables, bar graphs, and pie charts, estimating before calculating
Complete 30 mensuration and geometry problems covering area, volume, and the circle theorems most often tested
Attempt two 30-minute sectional tests, one reasoning and one numerical, and compare scores with week 3
Your checkpoint
A before-and-after score comparison on the re-solved error log, showing the percentage of previously wrong items now solved correctly
General Awareness & English Language
Consolidate the current-affairs digest into 50 revision flashcards and self-test twice without notes
Solve 50 cloze-test and fill-in-the-blank items, prioritising collocation and context clues over word familiarity
Complete 25 para-jumble and sentence-rearrangement sets, identifying opening and closing sentences first
Review the static general awareness fact cards and retire any fact answered correctly three times in a row
Your checkpoint
A trimmed revision deck of no more than 120 cards covering current affairs and static general awareness, with a self-test score recorded
General Intelligence and Reasoning & General Awareness & Quantitative Aptitude / Numerical Ability & English Language
Take three full-length mock tests of 200 marks under strict timing and analyse each within 24 hours of taking it
Fix a per-section time budget based on mock data, allocating more minutes to the sections with the lowest accuracy
Re-solve every item missed in the mocks and confirm each error is resolved or explicitly parked as low-yield
Run two final formula, fact, and vocabulary revision passes in the last three days without attempting new topics
Your checkpoint
A mock-test scorecard showing all three scores, section-wise accuracy, and the final time-allocation plan for exam day
Milestones
Week 2: Complete one timed 50-item mixed reasoning and numerical set with at least 60 percent accuracy and a written review of every error
Week 4: Hold a current-affairs digest of 150 or more dated points and a 60-word vocabulary list, and score at least 65 percent on a 50-item general awareness self-test
Week 6: Re-solve at least 70 percent of the week 1-3 error log correctly and finish a 30-minute sectional test in each of reasoning and numerical ability within the time limit
Week 8: Score at least 60 percent overall on the final full-length mock, with no section below 50 percent, and have a fixed exam-day time budget written down
