KRA CBT Aptitude Test study plan

Diagnose baseline accuracy and pacing on 40 mixed arithmetic and percentage items under a 35-minute timer, then log every error by cause (concept gap, misread, or time pressure).

Drill ratio, proportion, and average problems in sets of 15 until you can solve each item in under 60 seconds without a calculator.

Build a one-page formula sheet covering percentage change, compound growth, and weighted averages, and rewrite it from memory at the end of the week.

Practise estimation and rounding shortcuts on 30 items to eliminate long division during timed work.

Solve 60 work-rate, speed-distance-time, and simple/compound interest problems, timing each set and recording per-item seconds.

Apply the unitary method and inverse-proportion reasoning to 20 multi-step word problems, writing the setup line before calculating.

Review every week-1 error cause and re-solve 15 of those exact item types cold, without notes.

Cut average solve time on quantitative items by at least 10 seconds relative to week 1 while holding accuracy above 80%.

Identify the main conclusion, supporting evidence, and author's tone in 10 short passages, annotating each in under 4 minutes.

Classify 40 vocabulary-in-context and inference questions by trap type (scope shift, extreme wording, out-of-passage assumption).

Complete 30 sentence-completion and grammar/cloze items, logging each rule violated (subject-verb agreement, parallelism, modifier placement).

Paraphrase 5 passages into three-sentence summaries and check each against the original for lost qualifiers.

Work through 40 verbal reasoning items (analogies, odd-one-out, syllogism-style deductions) and write the rule you used for each correct answer.

Solve 30 logical deduction puzzles (seating arrangement, ordering, grouping) using a consistent diagramming notation.

Complete 25 series and coding-decoding items, articulating the pattern in one sentence before answering.

Run a 25-minute mixed verbal-plus-logic set and record accuracy separately for each domain.

Analyse 30 abstract figure-series and matrix items by naming the transformation (rotation, reflection, count change, shading) before selecting an answer.

Practise 20 spatial reasoning items (paper folding, cube nets, mirror images) and sketch each predicted outcome first.

Build a personal checklist of the 8 most common abstract-reasoning rules and apply it to 15 unfamiliar items.

Reduce average time on abstract items to 45 seconds while keeping accuracy above 75%.

Complete 5 perceptual-speed drills comparing paired strings, number lists, and codes, targeting zero missed discrepancies per drill.

Interpret 10 tables and 5 bar/line charts, extracting required values in under 90 seconds per chart without reading every cell.

Compute percentage share, growth rate, and ratio comparisons from data sets, showing the arithmetic in a single line each.

Combine chart reading with multi-step questions in a 20-item set and log where misreading the chart caused an error.

Answer 25 situational-judgement scenarios, justifying each choice against a stated principle (priority, escalation, transparency, teamwork).

Compare your SJT choices with a written decision framework and flag any scenario where your instinct conflicts with the framework.

Resolve 10 analytical-reasoning case sets that require combining two data sources, documenting the assumption behind each conclusion.

Draft five short workplace responses (email or escalation note) that are concise, factual, and appropriately escalated.

Sit two full-length timed mock tests under exam conditions and score every domain separately.

Re-teach your three weakest item types from memory, then solve 10 fresh items of each to confirm the fix.

Rehearse a fixed time-allocation strategy per section and test it in the second mock.

Compile a final one-page revision card of formulas, trap types, and decision principles, and review it the day before the test.
