AFM Enlistment (English) study plan
AFM Enlistment (English) · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 7 hours per week
English Language Proficiency (vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension) & Numerical Reasoning (arithmetic, ratios, data interpretation)
Take a timed 40-question diagnostic across all six domains and log your raw score per domain to set a baseline
Memorise 120 high-frequency vocabulary items (synonyms, opposites, word-in-context) using spaced-repetition cards, 20 new items per day
Solve 60 multi-step arithmetic problems (percentages, fractions, unit conversions) without a calculator and record your error types
Build a one-page formula and conversion sheet you can redraw from memory
Your checkpoint
A written baseline report listing per-domain diagnostic scores, your top three weak areas, and a completed 120-word vocabulary deck
English Language Proficiency (vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension) & Numerical Reasoning (arithmetic, ratios, data interpretation)
Drill 80 grammar items covering subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, pronoun reference, and misplaced modifiers
Complete 15 short reading passages (200-300 words) and justify each answer with the exact sentence that supports it
Practise ratio, proportion, and rate problems until you can set up the equation in under 30 seconds
Review every diagnostic error from week 1 and rewrite the correct reasoning in your own words
Your checkpoint
An error log of at least 30 corrected items, each with a one-line rule or method you will reuse
Numerical Reasoning (arithmetic, ratios, data interpretation) & Logical and Abstract Reasoning (pattern series, syllogisms, deduction)
Interpret 10 data sets (tables, bar graphs, line graphs) and answer three questions per set on averages, trends, and percentage change
Solve 50 number and letter series by identifying the underlying rule before checking the options
Work through 40 syllogisms using Venn diagrams, and note which argument forms are always valid versus only sometimes valid
Time yourself on a mixed 25-question set to build pacing at roughly 45 seconds per item
Your checkpoint
A completed data-interpretation worksheet with all calculations shown and a scored 25-question timed set at 70% or higher
Logical and Abstract Reasoning (pattern series, syllogisms, deduction) & English Language Proficiency (vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension)
Complete 40 deductive and ordering puzzles (seating arrangements, scheduling, conditional statements) and diagram each before answering
Identify the assumption, conclusion, and flaw in 20 short arguments
Read 10 longer passages (400-500 words) under a strict six-minute limit and summarise each in two sentences
Re-take the domain 1 and domain 3 sections of your week 1 diagnostic and compare scores
Your checkpoint
A mid-point comparison sheet showing domain 1 and domain 3 score changes against baseline, plus 10 passage summaries
Logical and Abstract Reasoning (pattern series, syllogisms, deduction) & Mechanical Comprehension (levers, forces, tools, basic physics)
Solve 30 lever and torque problems using the law of moments, including first-class, second-class, and third-class lever setups
Explain in writing how pulleys, inclined planes, and gears trade force for distance
Answer 20 mechanical items on pressure, friction, and mechanical advantage, and check every unit
Continue 10 logic puzzles per week to keep domain 3 sharp
Your checkpoint
A worked problem set of 30 lever and torque questions, each with the moment equation written out and the answer in correct units
Mechanical Comprehension (levers, forces, tools, basic physics) & General Knowledge and Current Affairs
Identify 25 common hand tools and fasteners from written descriptions and state what each is used for and the safety precaution it demands
Review basic electrical and fluid concepts: current, voltage, resistance, pressure, and flow in simple circuits and pipes
Compile a current-affairs brief covering 20 recent national and international events from at least two independent sources
Quiz yourself on the names and roles of major international organisations and how a bill becomes law
Your checkpoint
A dated one-page current-affairs brief with 20 events, each summarised in one sentence with its significance noted
Spatial Reasoning (mental rotation, folding, map and diagram reading) & General Knowledge and Current Affairs
Practise 40 mental-rotation items by describing each shape's orientation in words before selecting an answer
Complete 25 cube-folding and paper-folding exercises, tracking which faces end up opposite or adjacent
Read 10 map, floor-plan, and diagram questions and extract distances, directions, and routes without guessing
Refresh your current-affairs brief with 10 new events and drop anything older than six weeks
Your checkpoint
A scored spatial-reasoning set of 50 items with a written note on which error pattern (rotation, folding, or direction) cost you the most marks
English Language Proficiency (vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension) & Numerical Reasoning (arithmetic, ratios, data interpretation) & Logical and Abstract Reasoning (pattern series, syllogisms, deduction) & Mechanical Comprehension (levers, forces, tools, basic physics) & Spatial Reasoning (mental rotation, folding, map and diagram reading) & General Knowledge and Current Affairs
Sit two full-length timed mocks under exam conditions with no pauses and no notes
Review every incorrect answer from both mocks and classify each as a knowledge gap, a careless slip, or a timing problem
Re-drill your two weakest domains with 30 targeted questions each
Rehearse your pacing plan so you know how many minutes to spend per section and when to move on
Your checkpoint
Two completed mock score reports plus a final one-page exam-day pacing and review checklist
Milestones
Week 2: Vocab deck and grammar drills complete; score at least 65% on a 25-question English Language Proficiency set and at least 60% on a 20-question arithmetic set
Week 4: Domain 1 and domain 3 scores have improved by at least 10 percentage points over the week 1 baseline, and you can solve a 25-question mixed set within the time limit
Week 6: Mechanical Comprehension practice score is at least 70%, and your current-affairs brief contains 20 verified events with sources
Week 8: Both full-length mocks scored at or above 75% overall with no single domain below 65%, and your error log is fully reviewed
