You can prefer this plan and make changes according to your convenience. The study plan is made daily. You have to devote at least 8 hours every day. In a day, divide your time in such a manner that you give 2 hours to each subject. Another important aspect is to revise regularly.

20 Day Study Plan for LIC AAO

If you’re someone who has started their preparation in the last 20 days, then how you should clear this exam is way different from the 30-day plan. So we have created a 20-day plan where more focus is given on practicing questions using mock tests, and a list of important topics is also given in order to help you in your preparation. You can visit the blog for further details.

Section-wise Master Preparation Strategy

When it comes to a section-wise master preparation strategy, one thing to note is that, compared to other insurance exams, there is no negative marking in the examination. The preparation strategy is going to be the same, but the fact that you can now give a larger number of attempts in the examination without worrying about any negative marking can increase the time you spend on a single question. Remember, there is a sectional time limit of 20 minutes for each section.

Reasoning Ability

Practice at least 3-4 puzzles daily, try to solve easy puzzles first, so that you get an idea of the reasoning section, and you develop confidence in solving questions. After preparing easy topics, jump to advanced puzzles and syllogisms. During this time, whenever you are solving questions, try to incorporate the tricks and techniques required to solve them. By practicing questions only, you will become accustomed to tricks and techniques. Also, after syllogs, move to alphanumeric series and then to odd one out, and then to pair formation. 

Quantitative Aptitude

To master quants, first learn the basics of percentages, ratios, and percentage-ratio conversion, along with cubes and squares. One more important topic is decimal-fraction conversion.  These are the topics that are used to solve 90% questions. After mastering the basics, move to solving DIs and advanced arithmetic questions based on time and work. Topics like mixture and alligation are quite complex, so avoid them if you’re less on time. Again quants section requires rigorous practice. This also helps in building speed with accuracy. One important thing to remember, when you just start your preparation, is to focus on accuracy as a priority and then maintain speed. Last but not least important tip is to focus on the given list of important topics, which are more than sufficient.

English Language

The English language requires daily revision of vocabulary, and this can be done by reading newspaper editorials on a daily basis. When you are preparing for RCs, make sure you read between the lines means you are reading and understanding the meaning of the paragraph. Practice grammar rules through error detection questions along with revision. One more important thing is to make a chart of grammar rules and stick it to a place where you study daily.

Mistakes to avoid during preparation

• Solve questions in the first 18 minutes as you would normally do, and in the last 2 minutes, answer all the remaining questions. This is because there is no negative marking. And any smart aspirant would do this to maximize their marks. When randomly answering questions, pick a single option, say you pick ‘c’, then answer ‘c’ for all the unanswered questions.
• More than a month is left. If you’ve finalised which strategy to follow, just stick to it, as following a plan for a week, then changing to another strategy will only cost you time and productivity, as adapting to any strategy requires time and effort, and the exam is time-constrained.
• Do not watch any random YouTube videos,  as there are chance that you might just end up scrolling the whole day. Instead, what you can do is take our banking courses, which are designed for banking and insurance courses. You can get the link in the blog below.
• Discuss the strategy to solve a question, but do not discuss the syllabus coverage with fellow aspirants during the last week, as it will only make you anxious.
• Another mistake is giving mocks without analyzing them, if you’ve gone through the above table of the Day-wise study plan. We have allotted separate timing for the mock test and its analysis, as the analysis will only help you in knowing the level of your preparation, where you have to give more focus, where you need to work on speed, etc., in a detailed manner.
• Learning concepts without practicing or revising them, if you are learning any trick in reasoning and quants, make sure to practice that while solving questions, along with regular revisions.

LIC AAO 2025 Last Minute Revision Plan

Focus on most scoring Topics: Revise Reasoning (Puzzles, Seating Arrangement, Inequalities, Syllogism) and Quant (Simplification, DI, Quadratic, Number Series). Start with the scoring topics and avoid starting anything new at this stage to save time and energy.

Practice Previous Year Questions: Solve 2–3 previous year papers under timed conditions to identify repeated questions and understand exam patterns. This also helps you improve accuracy and manage your time effectively during the actual exam.

Make Short Notes: Keep formulas, shortcuts, DI tricks, and number series patterns handy for quick last-minute revision. Having concise notes ensures you can glance through important points without wasting time on lengthy material.

Attempt Mock Tests Wisely: Take 1–2 full-length mocks and analyse mistakes carefully to revise only weak areas. Focus on balancing speed and accuracy rather than attempting too many mocks in the last days.

Time Management Strategy: Start with your strongest section, solve easy questions first, then moderate, and finally, the difficult ones. Avoid getting stuck on high-difficulty questions; mark them and return if time permits to maximize score.

Last-Day Tips: Revise only your notes and formulas, do not try to learn new topics, and ensure proper sleep to stay alert. Keep all exam essentials ready, including admit card, ID, and stationery, to avoid last-minute stress.
