PAF Aeronautical Engineering Initial Test study plan

PAF Aeronautical Engineering Initial Test · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Mathematics

  • Solve 60 arithmetic items covering fractions, ratios, percentages, averages, LCM/HCF at 85% accuracy.

  • Compute percentage-increase, profit/loss, and simple/compound interest problems within 60 seconds each.

  • Derive and apply exponent laws and simplify 25 algebraic expressions.

  • Translate 20 word problems into equations and solve them correctly.

Your checkpoint

A scored 30-question arithmetic and algebra test (target 75%+) plus a written error log listing each mistake and its cause.

Week 2

Mathematics & Physics

  • Solve 20 linear equations and 20 simultaneous two-variable equations.

  • Apply mensuration formulas to compute area, perimeter, surface area, and volume for standard shapes in 25 problems.

  • State and apply Newton's three laws to 20 real-world force scenarios.

  • Compute speed, velocity, acceleration, and displacement from kinematic equations in 20 numericals.

Your checkpoint

A one-page formula sheet for algebra, geometry, and kinematics, plus 25 fully worked mixed problems attached to it.

Week 3

Physics

  • Solve 50 problems on work, energy, power, and momentum.

  • Compute pressure, density, and buoyancy in 20 fluid problems.

  • Apply Ohm's law and series/parallel resistance rules to 20 circuits.

  • Explain reflection, refraction, and the lens formula while solving 15 optics numericals.

Your checkpoint

A timed 30-question physics test on mechanics, fluids, and electricity scored at 70% or better, with every miss re-solved.

Week 4

Mathematics & Physics

  • Re-solve every missed problem from weeks 1-3 without notes.

  • Complete two 45-minute mixed math-plus-physics sections under exam pacing.

  • Rank all topics by error rate and rebuild the three weakest topics from first principles.

  • Memorize and self-quiz the combined formula sheet from memory twice.

Your checkpoint

A recorded score on a 60-question math-plus-physics mock and a ranked weak-topic list of no more than five items.

Week 5

English

  • Apply 15 core grammar rules (subject-verb agreement, tenses, articles, prepositions, concord) across 60 items at 80% accuracy.

  • Learn 100 exam-level vocabulary words and use 50 of them in original sentences.

  • Solve 40 sentence-correction and 30 synonym/antonym items.

  • Identify and correct your own five most frequent grammar errors in written samples.

Your checkpoint

A scored 50-item grammar and vocabulary test (target 75%+) with a personal one-page rule-error list.

Week 6

English & Verbal Intelligence / Reasoning

  • Answer 6 comprehension passages of 5 questions each within 8 minutes per passage.

  • Complete 60 verbal reasoning items covering analogies, letter/number series, coding-decoding, and odd-one-out.

  • Build and drill a 40-item analogy set and a 30-item series set to fluency.

  • Paraphrase and summarize three passages in under 100 words each to sharpen inference skills.

Your checkpoint

A timed 40-item verbal reasoning set completed at 75% accuracy or better within 35 minutes.

Week 7

Non-Verbal Intelligence / Reasoning & Verbal Intelligence / Reasoning

  • Solve 80 non-verbal items covering series, matrices, figure analogies, mirror/water images, and paper folding.

  • Identify and write down the 10 recurring non-verbal patterns you meet most often.

  • Complete 40 verbal reasoning items under time pressure to hold accuracy above 75%.

  • Redo every missed non-verbal item and state the rule you overlooked.

Your checkpoint

A 50-item non-verbal set completed at 75% accuracy or better within 25 minutes, plus a written pattern list.

Week 8

Mathematics & Physics & English & Verbal Intelligence / Reasoning & Non-Verbal Intelligence / Reasoning

  • Take three full-length timed mocks under exam conditions across all five domains.

  • Review each mock within 24 hours and re-solve every wrong answer to the correct result unaided.

  • Revise formula sheets, grammar rule list, vocabulary list, and non-verbal pattern list.

  • Fix pacing targets: 45 seconds per math or physics item and 30 seconds per reasoning item.

Your checkpoint

Three logged mock scores showing an upward trend, plus a final one-page revision sheet covering all five domains.

Milestones

Week 2: Score 75% or better on a 40-question algebra and geometry set and recite the kinematics formula sheet from memory.

Week 4: Score 70% or better on a 60-question math-plus-physics mock, with every missed item re-solved correctly without help.

Week 6: Score 75% or better on a 50-item English grammar/vocabulary test and a timed 40-item verbal reasoning set.

Week 8: Score 75% or better overall on the final full-length mock with no domain below 65%, and log three mocks with an improving trend.
