PAC Cadet Scholarship Exam study plan
PAC Cadet Scholarship Exam · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
Mathematics
Diagnose baseline arithmetic accuracy by completing 40 mixed operations (fractions, decimals, percentages) under a 50-minute timer
Build a personal error log that labels each mistake as concept gap, calculation slip, or misread question
Drill percentage-to-fraction-to-decimal conversions until 30 conversions are completed in under 10 minutes with full accuracy
Establish a fixed weekly study calendar with three 2-hour blocks reserved for Mathematics
Your checkpoint
A dated baseline test score sheet plus a categorized error log covering at least 40 attempted items
Mathematics & English
Solve ratio, proportion, and average problems using a written step template that states given values before calculating
Memorize and apply all standard area and volume formulas for squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, cylinders, and cuboids
Read two 400-word English passages and answer 10 comprehension questions each, marking where in the text the answer was found
Learn 40 high-frequency exam vocabulary words and use 20 of them in original sentences
Your checkpoint
A one-page formula sheet written from memory plus a scored set of 20 comprehension answers with text line references
Mathematics & English
Complete 30 word problems on time-speed-distance and work-rate, showing unit conversions explicitly in each solution
Practice profit, loss, discount, and simple interest calculations across 25 items without a calculator
Identify and correct the five most common grammar errors (subject-verb agreement, tense shift, articles, prepositions, pronoun reference) in a 20-sentence proofreading drill
Write two 150-word paragraphs in English on exam-style prompts within 20 minutes each
Your checkpoint
A timed 25-item arithmetic mini-test scored at or above 70 percent, with corrected solutions attached
English & Mathematics
Complete a full-length English section simulation (grammar, vocabulary, comprehension) under strict timing
Complete a full-length Mathematics section simulation under strict timing
Recalculate the error log and rank the top three recurring weakness types across both domains
Rewrite every missed Mathematics item correctly with a one-line reason for the correct method
Your checkpoint
A mid-point scorecard showing both section scores, timing per item, and a ranked list of the top three weaknesses
General Knowledge and Current Affairs & Pakistan Studies / Social Studies
Compile a dated timeline of major national and international events from the past 12 months using at least two independent news sources
Map the administrative units of the country (provinces, capitals, key rivers, passes, and borders) onto a blank outline drawn by hand
Summarize five landmark constitutional or political developments in the country's history, each in three bullet points
Answer 40 mixed general knowledge and social studies multiple-choice items and record the source that confirms each correct answer
Your checkpoint
A hand-drawn labeled map plus a dated current affairs timeline covering at least 20 verified events
General Knowledge and Current Affairs & Pakistan Studies / Social Studies & Islamiat / Ethics (or Comparative Religion)
List the core teachings, pillars, and key historical events relevant to the Islamiat or Ethics syllabus and explain each in two sentences of your own words
Compare the shared ethical principles of two major religious traditions in a short written note, keeping the tone factual and respectful
Review international organizations, their headquarters, and founding years, and self-quiz on 25 of them
Answer 30 mixed items from the religion and social studies domains and flag every uncertain answer for source verification
Your checkpoint
A two-page personal summary of the religion or ethics syllabus with a self-quiz score recorded
English & Mathematics & General Knowledge and Current Affairs
Run two full mixed simulations of English and Mathematics on separate days and compare scores for improvement
Reduce average time per Mathematics item by 15 percent while holding accuracy steady
Review all flagged uncertain items from weeks 5 and 6 and confirm or correct each against a reliable source
Practice 20 vocabulary and grammar items daily for five consecutive days
Your checkpoint
A comparison table of the two simulation scores with per-domain accuracy and average time per item
English & Mathematics & General Knowledge and Current Affairs & Islamiat / Ethics (or Comparative Religion) & Pakistan Studies / Social Studies
Take two complete five-domain mock exams under real timing conditions and score each domain separately
Re-drill only the weakest 20 percent of previously missed items until each is answered correctly twice in a row
Finalize a one-page revision sheet per domain for last-day review
Confirm exam-day logistics including identification documents, reporting time, and permitted materials
Your checkpoint
A final readiness report listing both mock scores by domain, the re-drill pass rate, and five completed revision sheets
Milestones
Week 2: Reproduce all area and volume formulas from memory with no errors and score at least 60 percent on the arithmetic mini-drill
Week 4: Score at least 55 percent in both the English and Mathematics simulations and show a written ranked list of top three weaknesses
Week 6: Produce the labeled map, the 20-event timeline, and the two-page religion or ethics summary, each reviewed once for factual accuracy
Week 8: Achieve at least 65 percent overall on the final mock exam with no single domain below 50 percent, and complete all five revision sheets
