LIC AAO Prelims 2026 — Master Strategy & Topic Weightage

📖 Open Full Textbook & Study Notes →

Compiled from 10-year official paper patterns and previous-year shift analysis. Review the exact topic weightage below to decide your attempt sequence and study focus.

🏆 The Topper 3-Step Execution Plan

1. Understand the Mark-Weight Leverage
Reasoning & Quant carry 1.25 marks per question (50 marks each); Financial Awareness & English carry 1.00 mark (40 marks each); Computer carries 0.50 marks (20 marks). 1 Reasoning question = 2.5 Computer questions.
2. Win on Financial Awareness (40 Marks)
Officer-level selection is decided by FA depth, not raw math speed. Last 6 months banking/economy current affairs + RBI circulars + Basel/NPA norms decide the merit list.
3. Puzzle & DI Triage
Scan all puzzle & DI sets first. Attempt the 2–3 sets with the most definite clues. If a set is not cracked in 90s of setup, flag and skip immediately.

📊 Topic-Wise Previous Year Weightage & Attack Strategy

Work top-down inside each section. ① Must-Do topics form 60–70% of your passing score.

SectionTopicExpected QsPriority TierTopper Attack Technique
ReasoningPuzzles & Seating18–22① Must-doScan all sets first, solve the 2-3 with most definite clues. Skip any set not cracked in 90s of setup.
ReasoningInequalities3–4② High yieldChain the signs, check direction. Watch either-or pairs. Under 30s each.
ReasoningSyllogism3–3② High yieldVenn only for tricky ones; 'Only a few' = some+some not. Fastest 3-5 marks in the paper.
ReasoningDirection Sense2–3③ Solid marksSketch every turn. Pythagoras for shortest distance.
ReasoningMisc (order, pairs, coding)2–3③ Solid marksDrill this Reasoning topic to under 45s per question; revise its shortcut weekly.
ReasoningAlphanumeric & Symbol Series0–3④ If time permitsRead the condition twice before counting. Most errors are misread conditions, not logic.
ReasoningBlood Relations0–2④ If time permitsDraw the tree: squares male, circles female. Never solve in your head.
Quantitative AptitudeArithmetic (mixed word problems)12–13① Must-doUse ratio/unitary methods, not equations. Options often let you back-solve faster.
Quantitative AptitudeData Interpretation10–12② High yieldPick the set with clean numbers first. Approximate early; exact-value questions last.
Quantitative AptitudeNumber Series (missing & wrong)5–5② High yieldCheck differences → ratios → squares/cubes, in that order. 20s max, then move on.
Quantitative AptitudeQuadratic Equations & Root Comparison4–5③ Solid marksSign-rule shortcut: factor mentally, compare roots. Guaranteed 3-5 marks.
Quantitative AptitudeSimplification/Approximation0–4③ Solid marksBODMAS + fraction-percent table. Round early on approximation questions.
EnglishReading Comprehension8–8① Must-doRead questions first, then skim. Do vocab and fact questions before inference.
EnglishError Spotting5–5② High yieldCheck subject-verb, then tense, then preposition — in that order.
EnglishPara Jumbles4–5② High yieldFind the opener and mandatory pairs first; never order all sentences blind.
EnglishSentence Improvement/Phrase Replacement3–4③ Solid marksDrill this English topic to under 45s per question; revise its shortcut weekly.
EnglishFill in the Blanks (single & double)3–4③ Solid marksDrill this English topic to under 45s per question; revise its shortcut weekly.
EnglishWord Swap / Word Usage3–4④ If time permitsDrill this English topic to under 45s per question; revise its shortcut weekly.
EnglishCloze Test0–4④ If time permitsRead the whole passage once for tone, then fill. Collocation beats grammar rules here.

⏱️ Minute-by-Minute Hall Execution

Plan 10–12 min: Computer Knowledge (40 Qs / 20 Marks) — pure recall, bank 16–18 marks while 100% fresh.
Plan 212–34 min: Financial Awareness (40 Qs / 40 Marks) — flag doubtful, never blind-guess at −0.25 penalty.
Plan 334–54 min: English Language (40 Qs / 40 Marks) — grammar & vocab in 12 min, RC passage last 8 min.
Plan 454–87 min: Quantitative Aptitude & DI (40 Qs / 50 Marks) — number series & quadratic first, then 2 best DI sets.
Plan 587–120 min: Reasoning (40 Qs / 50 Marks) — inequalities/syllogism/coding (15 Qs), then the 3 cleanest puzzle sets.

🎯 Cutoff-Beating Safe Target Bands

Target 1Safe attempt zone: 145–160 of 200 with 88%+ accuracy (recent cutoff trends).
Target 2GA/FA target: 28+ of 40 — this is where the final selection list is decided.
Target 3Never chase all 5 puzzle sets — 3 solved cleanly beats 5 half-done.
