AFCAT 1 2014 applications are being received and most of you must have filled the application forms also. For those of you who have not filled hurry up and fill it as the last day is 12th January 2014. The exam will be conducted on 23rd February 2013 and thus all those who want to get good marks must start preparing from now it as not much time is left. Looking towards the standard of the paper it can be said that the level is increasing with every passing exam.

However on the other hand the cutoff for the last AFCAT was lowered to a great extent. So now there can be two things for this AFCAT , either the level is increased and cutoff remains low, or the level is slightly decreased and cutoff increased again.

• English can be prepared by revising your grammar. If you are in a habit of reading regular newspaper or books then English won’t be a problem for you. Practice the previous year papers of AFCAT or even English papers of CDSE or any other competitive exam. This way you can prepare for English easily.
• Mathematics of AFCAT is of simple class 10th level. Revise the basic formulas of Speed Distance and Time, Simple Interest, Profit and Loss, Percentage etc. and you can be assured to do well in this part. Don’t forget to memorize the simple algebraic formulas as well, there are many direct questions based on them. Accuracy and correctness is what is required while solving math questions so try not to make silly calculation mistakes.
• Reasoning questions need basic intelligence and practice. You can practice both verbal and non-verbal reasoning from different books dedicated for this purpose. S Chand publications book on reasoning can be good choice. In reasoning also solving past papers can be of great help.
• GK in AFCAT is something where out of the box questions are asked many times. Read about the current happenings of past 2 years at least. Many questions on sports related to medals won by Indians are also asked, you have to make a list of major medal winners or title winners from India. Questions are asked from basic science and history, geography as well so you can just go through the basics of these subjects. Any book on CDSE or AFCAT may help in this. Manorama Yearbook is a good option for preparing current affairs.
• Try to do as many sample and previous year question papers, they will enhance your knowledge about types of questions asked and give you a chance to analyze your strengths and weaknesses. You can get the previous papers of AFCAT on SSBCrack and on the career website of Airforce.
