Time Management Strategies for Successful LIC AAO Exam Preparation
Aspirants who are genuinely preparing for LIC AAO exam 2025, must know where to invest their time now. With only around 20 to 21 days remaining for the LIC AAO exam, it is essential to allocate time wisely for each subject. Along with studying, you must dedicate yourself to mock tests and revision. We hope that you have already started learning effectively for this exam by now. Cracking this exam requires a smart time allocation for each subject. Considering that you are giving 7 to 8 hours of your day to LIC AAO Prelims exam preparation now, we have prepared time management tactics for cracking this exam. If you follow the time allocation guidelines provided here properly, you will be able to succeed in the upcoming LIC AAO Prelims exam. Let’s now discuss how to manage time during LIC AAO Preparation in a very practical way.
With only a few days remaining before this exam, effective time management plays a crucial role in overall preparation. You need to wisely allocate your time so that you can cover, revise, and practice the concepts effectively. Focus on learning the fundamentals of important topics first in the first 5 days. Then, in the remaining 15 days, focus on speed practice, revision, and mock tests.
The Quant subject deals with important topics like Data Interpretation, Arithmetic (covers percentages, ratios and proportions, profit and loss, ages, and partnership), number series, and quadratic equations.
The Reasoning subject deals with important topics like puzzles (different types), seating arrangement, syllogism, inequality, data sufficiency, missing number and wrong number series, blood relation, and coding-decoding.
The English subject covers reading comprehension, grammar, and vocabulary-based questions. The English language is qualifying, but it decides your selection in the Prelims. Therefore, practice 2 RCs daily and improve your accuracy.
In the remaining days, you can follow the time management tips given here to score above the cut-off marks in LIC AAO Prelims.
You can follow a daily study schedule for LIC AAO in the remaining days to cover the most important topics of Quant, Reasoning, and English. Also, read weekly current affairs and vocabulary updates. You should allocate 2 to 3 hrs to each subject, along with giving some time to revision daily.
| Topic | Daily Study Time Allocation |
| Quant | 2 to 3 hours (practice questions + revision + tests) |
| Reasoning | 2 to 3 hours (practice + revision + tests) |
| English | 1 to 2 hours (learn vocabulary + practice grammar based questions + 1 RC) |
You should use a timer beside you to improve speed in each section when you practice questions. For example, if you are solving 35 questions of Quant from your resource (you can avail PracticeMock’s PDF course), set a timer of 20 minutes. Improve your accuracy now, as improving speed takes time. Focus on learning solutions from the mock tests and understanding where you are making mistakes. Overall, the Prelims score depends on how well you can manage time during the examinations.
Revision is as important as time management. You can understand 100 concepts of important topics, but you will be able to solve questions easily only when the concepts are at your fingertips. Thus, revision becomes your non-negotiable task every day. For example, if you have learned puzzle concepts and question-solving techniques today, then you need to revise them tomorrow.
The practice of questions through the exam-specific tests helps in improving your speed and accuracy. The mini mock tests of LIC AAO contain 20 questions to answer in 20 minutes. Therefore, you are getting 1 minute to answer each question in this test. Then you can move to the prelims rank booster tests, where you get 35 questions in each section with a timing of 20 minutes. In this test, you have to decide which question you should pick and answer first. This can only happen when you have attempted a few tests.
Previous Year Papers are as important as your LIC AAO Syllabus. Because the syllabus tells you which topics are going to be covered, and PYPs tells you which type of questions are asked from those topics. Not only are the difficulty level and type of questions known through PYPs, but it also lets you know your preparation level. When you solve a Previous year’s question paper using a timer or in a time-bound condition (PYP Tests), you can know your score and compare it with the previous year’s cut-offs. When you take a PYP test, target achieving 60 out of 70 marks, including the quant (35 marks) and reasoning (35 marks) sections.
English is a qualifying subject, but it will be an important part of your LIC AAO Prelims. Many candidates neglect this subject, but you should prepare at a moderate level for this subject. You have to score 10 marks out of 30 to qualify here. Therefore, practicing Reading comprehension is essential along with improving your grammar and vocabulary. You can refer to the daily or weekly Hindu Editorial vocabulary provided to you at the PracticeMock platform.
Make this your target exam and not just the other exam. Consistency beats hard work sometimes because consistency is regular work when you become regular in your studies, success is guaranteed. For example, if you studied for 6 hours yesterday, you can study for 7 to 8 hours today. But the important thing to note here is that you studied every day without skipping a day. You should strive to score maximum marks and be consistent in your preparation. If you consistently follow a study schedule focused on the LIC AAO Prelims, you can ensure your selection this time.
When you wake up in the morning, first plan your day before starting anything. Complete your essential tasks and don’t waste your time on videos and reels that are not relevant to the exam. You have to be very disciplined if you really want to crack this exam. When you train your mind to think only about scoring in the exam and not other things, you will definitely be able to clear this exam.
If you practice questions regularly with a smart time allocation to each topic, you can score above the cut-off marks in the LIC AAO Prelims exam. If you have already understood the basic concepts of important topics, you can now move to the topic tests, mini mocks, rank boosters, and mock tests. Also, staying consistent in your preparation will surely ensure you get success in this exam. All the very best to you!
