Rank Booster Mock Test Based on Different Difficulty Levels

LIC AAO Exam is conducted in different shifts, where the pattern of questions might vary. Let’s say, in some shifts there may be questions related to different sub-topics of Puzzles/Seating Arrangements, say: Circular Seating Arrangement, Box-based, Flat and Floor and in other shifts the focus might be on other sub-topics of Puzzles/Seating Arrangements, for example, Linear Seating Arrangement, Flat-based, etc. The same goes for other miscellaneous topics of Reasoning.
Similarly, in some shifts there may be questions on number series and in other shifts there may be questions on wrong number series. Obviously, wrong number series are considered a bit difficult than the missing ones.
To help you face any shift with confidence, we’ve designed Rank Boosters that consist of 5 specially curated tests. Each test is set at a different difficulty level so that you can experience the full range of challenges you may encounter in the actual exam. By attempting these tests and reviewing your performance, you’ll strengthen your preparation and develop the adaptability needed for every shift.

Our expert team has carefully analyzed past exam patterns across different shifts to create these Rank Boosters. That’s why these tests serve as the perfect tool to get you exam-ready for any kind of variation in the paper.

Quant Paper

The Quantitative Aptitude section of LIC AAO Prelims can be divided into three main parts – Data Interpretation (DI), Arithmetic, and Speed Math.

To maximise your score, it’s advisable to combine regular practice with mock tests. Our 5 Rank Booster Mock Tests, designed with varying difficulty levels, are a great way to simulate the exam environment and tackle unexpected question patterns effectively.

Data Interpretation

From the analysis of previous years, it has been observed that most of the Data Interpretation (DI) questions in the LIC AAO exam are based on:

  • Caselet DI
  • Bar Graph DI
  • Table DI
  • Pie Chart DI

This means you should focus more on practicing these types of DI sets because the chances are very high that you will see similar questions in the actual exam.

In LIC AAO Prelims 2023, Arithmetic + DI together covered almost 60% of the Quant section. Simplification and number series provided easy scoring opportunities for speed, while Caselet DI required more time and careful reading.

Important Note: Candidates should focus more on Caselet DI, as these sets have been appearing more frequently in recent years. To be fully prepared for LIC AAO Prelims 2025, it is highly recommended to practice DI extensively through mock tests. This way, even if a new pattern DI appears in the exam, you will be confident and able to solve it without any surprises.

Here, we are providing some questions asked in previous years to help you understand the pattern and practice effectively for LIC AAO Prelims.

Reasoning Paper

In the LIC AAO Prelims, the Reasoning section plays a major role in deciding your score.

This section mainly has two parts

  • Puzzles & Seating Arrangements
  • Miscellaneous Questions

From the last few years’ trend, puzzles and seating arrangements make up the biggest portion, often carrying more than half of the reasoning marks. Meanwhile, the miscellaneous part, which includes topics like syllogism, inequality, blood relation, direction sense, and coding-decoding, generally comes for about 10 to 15 marks. So, if you want to maximise your score, you should give extra time to puzzles and seating while also revising the smaller miscellaneous topics to secure quick marks.

English Paper

The English Language section of LIC AAO Prelims is primarily a qualifying section, which means you need to score the minimum required marks to clear it, but it can also help boost your overall score if attempted carefully. This section can be divided into three main parts: Reading Comprehension (RC), Grammar, and Vocabulary.

In LIC AAO Prelims, the English section is a qualifying section, which means you don’t need to focus on high scores but must clear the minimum cutoff. To do this effectively:

  • Focus on easy-to-solve questions like error spotting, fill in the blanks, and cloze tests.
  • Maintain accuracy, as incorrect answers can unnecessarily reduce your score.
  • Attempt questions quickly and confidently, without spending too much time on difficult passages.

By concentrating on scoring areas and accuracy, you can easily qualify the English section and dedicate more time to the scoring Quant and Reasoning sections.
