PAF GD Pilot Initial Test study plan
PAF GD Pilot Initial Test · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
Mathematics & Intelligence and Reasoning (Verbal and Non-Verbal)
Solve 60 arithmetic items (percent, ratio, average, work-rate) untimed and tag every miss as concept, careless, or speed.
Complete 40 verbal reasoning items (analogies, odd-one-out, number-letter series) in 15-minute timed sets.
Drill the fraction–decimal–percent conversion table until you can reproduce it from memory in under 3 minutes.
Open a one-page error log sorted by sub-type, recording every missed item and the rule that would have saved it.
Your checkpoint
A dated error log covering 100 solved items with baseline accuracy calculated for each sub-type.
Mathematics & Physics
Solve 40 algebra and geometry items (linear equations, area/volume, angles) and re-attempt each wrong one after 48 hours.
State and apply 15 core physics formulas (motion, force, work–energy, Ohm's law, waves) to 30 numericals without consulting notes.
Define 40 physics terms and their SI units in your own words, then self-quiz them twice from memory.
Complete 20 unit-conversion and significant-figure drills with zero unit errors on the second pass.
Your checkpoint
A handwritten formula sheet plus a 30-numerical physics set scored and corrected.
English & Physics
Complete 4 timed reading passages (5 questions each, 8 minutes per passage) and mark every unknown word.
Revise 20 grammar rules (tense, subject–verb agreement, articles, prepositions) and write 5 original sentences per rule.
Answer 30 conceptual physics questions on motion, energy, waves, and electricity without calculation shortcuts.
Log 50 unfamiliar English words with synonyms and deploy 20 of them in original sentences.
Your checkpoint
A grammar rule-card set plus a 20-question English self-test scored with a written reason for every wrong answer.
English & Intelligence and Reasoning (Verbal and Non-Verbal)
Complete 3 non-verbal reasoning sets (series, matrices, paper folding, rotation) under strict timing.
Write 2 paragraphs of 150 words in 20 minutes each and self-edit them for agreement, tense, and spelling.
Sit a 60-minute diagnostic covering English and Reasoning and score it by sub-type rather than total.
Your checkpoint
A mid-point diagnostic score report with your five weakest sub-types ranked and a repair plan attached.
Physics & Mathematics
Repair the five weakest sub-types named in week 4 by working 20 targeted items on each.
Solve 40 mixed math word problems at a 60-second-per-item limit and record the time lost per error.
Complete 2 timed physics sets of 25 questions each and re-derive every formula you misapplied.
Your checkpoint
A timed 50-question Math + Physics paper scored, with a one-line written fix for every incorrect item.
English & General Knowledge and Current Affairs
Compile a 100-fact current affairs sheet (national, international, sports, awards, organisations) from the last 12 months and self-quiz it daily for 5 days.
Complete 4 cloze and error-spotting English sets of 10 items each, timing 6 minutes per set.
Memorise 30 GK facts on capitals, currencies, geography, and key dates using spaced-repetition flashcards.
Your checkpoint
A 100-fact GK and current affairs sheet plus a 25-question self-test scored at 80% or better.
Islamic Studies and Pakistan Studies & General Knowledge and Current Affairs
Summarise Pakistan Studies milestones (independence movement, constitutions, wars, geography) into a dated timeline you can recite aloud.
Memorise 25 Islamic Studies facts (pillars, seerah dates, key Quranic terms) and 20 Pakistan Studies facts, then quiz each twice.
Answer 40 mixed GK and Pakistan Studies MCQs at 30 seconds per item.
Re-run 30 math and 20 physics items pulled from the week-1 error log to confirm retention.
Your checkpoint
A one-page Pakistan Studies timeline and Islamic Studies fact sheet, plus a 40-item scored quiz at 80% or better.
Mathematics & Physics
Sit two full-length timed mocks covering all six domains and score each by domain.
Re-solve every item still open in the error logs until each is answered correctly on two separate attempts.
Drill 30 speed-math items and 20 physics numericals daily, prioritising accuracy over raw speed.
Write a one-page exam-day checklist covering time per section, section order, and a guessing rule.
Your checkpoint
Two scored full-length mocks plus a closed error log showing 70% or better overall and no domain under 60%.
Milestones
Week 2: Reproduce the fraction–decimal–percent table and 15 physics formulas from memory, with baseline accuracy recorded for every math and physics sub-type.
Week 4: Score at least 55% in each of Math, Physics, English, and Reasoning on the 60-minute diagnostic, and name the five weakest sub-types with a repair plan.
Week 6: Achieve 65% or better on timed Math and Physics sets, and complete and self-test the 100-fact GK sheet at 80% or better.
Week 8: Score 70% or better overall on two full-length mocks at exam pace with no domain below 60%, and leave zero unresolved items in the error logs.
