The plan also includes only those topics that can yield cutoff marks, because, as a working professional, your primary goal is to get on the cutoff list. For that, you need to complete only the important topics, not the entire syllabus. As you are short of time, try to devote 1 hour to the reasoning section and one hour to the quants section and 30 minutes to the English section, as English is qualifying in nature. Try to revise properly, as revision helps in the retention of information for a longer period of time.
In the reasoning section, try to practice 1-2 puzzles daily, along with some other topics such as syllogism or inequality. We know puzzles take almost half an hour, but it is essential to practice them daily as they carry 8-10 marks of weightage in the examination.
Dedicate one day to arithmetic topics (like percentage, ratio, time & work, profit & loss) and the next day to Data Interpretation or number series. This way, you build both conceptual clarity and speed. Keep a formula notebook handy for revision.
Attempt sectional mocks every 3–4 days and full-length mocks twice (Day 11 & Day 20). Treat mocks as real exams—stick to the timer, then spend equal time analysing your mistakes. This will help you improve accuracy and reduce negative marking.
Use Pomodoro technique, where you need to study for 25 minutes along with a five-minute break. As we can only focus for a maximum of 25-30 minutes. As you have very little time to study every day, you need laser-sharp focus to prepare as well. This technique will help with the same.
As a working professional, you can crack LIC AAO exam if you regularly follow the study routine suggested to you in this blog. Make your targets clear and achievable. Don’t panic and stay calm during the exam time. Regular practice of questions from the important topics like Data Interpretation, Puzzles, Syllogism, Coding Decoding, Reading Comprehension, Number Series, Inequalities, Simplification, and Arithmetic can fetch you more marks in the exam. Along with all this, practice using topic tests to master each topic. At last, just believe in yourself and be prepared to tackle each question in the exam.
