AFM Enlistment (English) study plan

AFM Enlistment (English) · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

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

Week 2

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

Week 3

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

Week 4

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

Week 5

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

Week 6

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

Week 7

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

Week 8

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
