Hello friends! So all done with the most awaited AFCAT 2/2013? Well I hope you are and I hope that you would have done well. Here is a brief analysis of the question paper of AFCAT. This analysis is very important because AFCAT question papers are not given to the candidates to take with them. Hence its only on the basis of memory that we can recollect and give an opinion on what kind of paper it was. This analysis is also important for those who are aspiring to give AFCAT in future since they will get an idea of what kind of paper it’ll be.
To begin with there was English comprehension as the set pattern is. There was a paragraph and five questions based on it. The language was the paragraph was not very difficult but it was above average. But certainly it was difficult than previous papers of AFCAT. So a person with a normal English and vocab can do it easily. Then there were three questions of Synonyms and two on antonyms. They were above average difficulty level and slightly more difficult than previous AFCAT papers. After this there was sentence correction and word completion which were all normal ones
Then began the General Awareness part of the paper. Its level was certainly higher than previous year’s papers. Many things related to awards were asked including awards like Padma shree, CK Naidu award, Dhyanchand award etc. Two questions were there on 2010 commonwealth games. Simple questions were there from history and science which you can answer easily. Also they asked about the missile recently successfully test fired by Iran. There were two questions from Astronomy. No question from Indian Polity was asked. Origin of river Narmada was asked from Geography area.
Then the Math section began. The number of questions was nearly about 15-18 and some of them were very simple. Some were tricky. They have certainly raised the bar for this section as well. Remember to revise all basic algebra formula’s before sitting in AFCAT also revise questions from Profit & Loss, Ratio and Proportion, Percentage etc. There were good numbers of questions from theses sections.
After Math section there was verbal ability test or verbal reasoning. It was simple and consisted of finding the odd one out from the given pair of words and simple analogies. You can do this section well by practicing before. Then the last was Nonverbal reasoning. They have a set pattern of giving questions on completing the series, finding the location of the dot, finding the hidden figure in given figures and completing the missing part of the figure. They were fairly simple and can be easily done with little concentration.
Thus the bottom line is that the IAF is raising the bar of AFCAT with coming years. The question paper is getting tougher day by day hence a good amount of practice is required to be done. Also the section of GA needs to be paying attention on and a good study is required for excellence.
