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. The 70-Mark Merit Rule — English Is Qualifying Only
In LIC AAO & ADO Prelims, English Language (30 Qs) is purely qualifying (9–10 marks threshold). English marks do NOT count toward the merit cutoff! Selection for Mains is decided entirely out of 70 marks (Quant 35 + Reasoning 35).
2. Near Maximum Raw Score in Quant & Reasoning
Because merit is decided on 70 marks, cutoffs are exceptionally high (53–58 out of 70 for UR). You need 28+ in Reasoning and 27+ in Quant.
3. Defensive English Execution
In the 20-minute English section, solve only the easiest 15–18 grammar and vocab questions to safely secure 14+ marks, eliminating any negative marking risk, and preserve mental energy.

📊 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 & Seating16–18① Must-doScan all sets first, solve the 2-3 with most definite clues. Skip any set not cracked in 90s of setup.
ReasoningAlphanumeric & Symbol Series4–5② High yieldRead the condition twice before counting. Most errors are misread conditions, not logic.
ReasoningBlood Relations3–4② High yieldDraw the tree: squares male, circles female. Never solve in your head.
ReasoningSyllogism3–3③ Solid marksVenn only for tricky ones; 'Only a few' = some+some not. Fastest 3-5 marks in the paper.
ReasoningInequalities3–3③ Solid marksChain the signs, check direction. Watch either-or pairs. Under 30s each.
ReasoningMisc (order, pairs, coding)1–3④ If time permitsDrill this Reasoning topic to under 45s per question; revise its shortcut weekly.
ReasoningDirection Sense0–2④ If time permitsSketch every turn. Pythagoras for shortest distance.
Quantitative AptitudeSimplification/Approximation14–15① Must-doBODMAS + fraction-percent table. Round early on approximation questions.
Quantitative AptitudeArithmetic (mixed word problems)9–10② High yieldUse ratio/unitary methods, not equations. Options often let you back-solve faster.
Quantitative AptitudeData Interpretation5–6② High yieldPick the set with clean numbers first. Approximate early; exact-value questions last.
Quantitative AptitudeNumber Series (missing & wrong)5–5③ Solid marksCheck differences → ratios → squares/cubes, in that order. 20s max, then move on.
Quantitative AptitudeQuadratic Equations & Root Comparison0–2③ Solid marksSign-rule shortcut: factor mentally, compare roots. Guaranteed 3-5 marks.
EnglishReading Comprehension8–8① Must-doRead questions first, then skim. Do vocab and fact questions before inference.
EnglishCloze Test5–6② High yieldRead the whole passage once for tone, then fill. Collocation beats grammar rules here.
EnglishWord Swap / Word Usage1–5② High yieldDrill this English topic to under 45s per question; revise its shortcut weekly.
EnglishSentence Improvement/Phrase Replacement4–4③ Solid marksDrill this English topic to under 45s per question; revise its shortcut weekly.
EnglishError Spotting3–3③ Solid marksCheck subject-verb, then tense, then preposition — in that order.
EnglishMatch the Column3–3④ If time permitsDrill this English topic to under 45s per question; revise its shortcut weekly.
EnglishPara Jumbles0–3④ If time permitsFind the opener and mandatory pairs first; never order all sentences blind.
