After understanding the content of the syllabus, the candidate requires to understand and analyze the pattern, as it will help them to understand where they can score more marks and also where they can take a calculated risk, depending upon their continuous practice and strength in each subject as well as topics.

Coming to the third step that the candidates should practising is to increase their speed, and accuracy, and analyse the difficulty level of questions to devote the limited time to each question they need to practice carefully. They should also keep in mind an important element of the exam and i.e., the negative marking system that sabotages the plans of candidates to score high marks.

To tackle the menace of negative marking in the AFCAT exam, candidates need to attempt only those questions which they are sure of scoring and they also should cross-check twice before submitting their answer. After answering those questions, one needs to move ahead and answer those questions that he/she thinks have more than a 50 % chance of being correct. So here he will get 50 % of chances to get an answer correct and as the negative marking is fixed as 1 mark per wrong answer i.e., one-third of that particular question, attempting those questions also make it worth taking the risk and chance to score better. Risk analysis is one important aspect of these criteria.

Let’s have an in-depth look and analysis of all the subjects, their preparation strategy, and how they will be useful in a defence career.
