PAF Airman Initial Test · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

English & Mathematics

  • Diagnose current level by completing a timed 30-question English and 30-question Math self-test and tabulating errors by type

  • Memorize and drill the 12 most common English grammar rules (subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, articles, prepositions) until 90% accuracy on a 40-item set

  • Rebuild arithmetic foundations: fractions, decimals, percentages and ratio, solving 15 mixed problems per session

  • Build a personal error log with a written correction note for every wrong answer

Your checkpoint

A dated error log with at least 60 logged items and an accuracy baseline percentage for both English and Math

Week 2

English & Mathematics

  • Expand vocabulary by learning 100 exam-frequency words with synonyms and using each in a sentence

  • Practice 20 synonyms, antonyms, and one-word-substitution items per session under a 45-second-per-item limit

  • Solve 40 word problems covering averages, profit and loss, and simple interest

  • Practice 20 algebra items on linear equations and simplification, checking each step in writing

Your checkpoint

A 60-word vocabulary notebook plus a scored 25-question English quiz and 25-question Math quiz with corrections

Week 3

Mathematics & Physics

  • Master geometry basics: area, perimeter, and volume of standard shapes through 30 applied problems

  • Convert verbal statements into equations for 20 age, work, and speed-distance-time problems

  • Define and apply 25 core physics quantities with SI units and symbols

  • Solve 25 numerical items on speed, velocity, acceleration, and force using the correct formulas

Your checkpoint

A one-page formula sheet in your own words plus a 30-question Math and Physics numerical test scored and corrected

Week 4

Physics & General Science

  • Explain and calculate work, power, energy, and simple machines across 25 problems

  • Describe series and parallel circuits and compute current, voltage, and resistance in 15 exercises

  • Summarize the states of matter, elements versus compounds, and physical versus chemical changes in your own notes

  • Identify the main human body systems and their functions, self-quizzing until 85% recall

Your checkpoint

A hand-drawn circuit and simple-machine summary sheet plus a 25-question Physics and General Science quiz scored above 70%

Week 5

General Science & Islamic Studies / General Knowledge

  • Label the solar system, Earth's layers, and major climate zones from memory on a blank outline

  • Write out the five pillars of Islam plus the articles of faith and match each to a one-line explanation

  • List key events and dates of the life of the Prophet Muhammad and the first four caliphs in a timeline

  • Record 40 Pakistan and world general-knowledge facts (capitals, rivers, mountains, founding dates) and self-test on them

Your checkpoint

A two-page condensed GK and Islamic Studies fact sheet plus a 30-question mixed quiz scored above 75%

Week 6

Islamic Studies / General Knowledge & Intelligence and Reasoning

  • Drill 40 number-series and letter-series items, writing the underlying rule for each

  • Complete 30 analogy and odd-one-out items and classify the relationship type used

  • Solve 20 coding-decoding and direction-sense problems with step-by-step working

  • Review and re-test the 40 GK facts and Islamic Studies timeline until recall is above 85%

Your checkpoint

A reasoning rule summary sheet plus a 30-question reasoning test finished within 25 minutes at 80% accuracy

Week 7

Intelligence and Reasoning & English

  • Complete 30 logical deduction and seating-arrangement puzzles under timed conditions

  • Revisit the 50 most frequent errors from your error log and re-solve each correctly

  • Practice 25 reading-comprehension passages, marking the sentence that supports each answer

  • Write 10 short paragraphs and 5 formal letters to sharpen sentence construction and grammar control

Your checkpoint

A corrected error-log re-test with at least 90% of previously wrong items now answered correctly

Week 8

English & Mathematics & Physics & General Science & Islamic Studies / General Knowledge & Intelligence and Reasoning

  • Take three full-length timed mock tests replicating exam section timing and record each section score

  • Rank your six domains by mock accuracy and rebuild a 30-minute daily drill on the two weakest

  • Memorize the top 20 remaining facts and 20 formulas flagged as high-frequency in your error log

  • Simulate exam-day conditions once with no breaks and review pacing mistakes afterward

Your checkpoint

A mock-test scorecard showing upward trend across the three attempts, with all six domains above 60% accuracy

Milestones

Week 2: Achieve at least 65% accuracy on separate English and Math quizzes and show 60+ error-log entries with written corrections

Week 4: Score 70% or higher on a Physics and General Science quiz and produce the completed formula and circuit sheets

Week 6: Finish a 30-question reasoning test in 25 minutes at 80% accuracy and recall 85% of the GK and Islamic Studies facts

Week 8: Score 65% or higher in every domain on the final full-length mock, with the two heaviest domains English and Math above 70%
