AFCAT 2 Question Paper 2020

About this paper

This is the AFCAT-II (Air Force Common Admission Test) 2020 paper, marked 'Based on Memory', so it is a recollection of the exam rather than the official question booklet. It lists 100 multiple-choice questions of three marks each, for 300 marks in two hours, with one mark deducted for each wrong answer. The English section opens with a passage on economic liberalisation and the middle class, followed by a cloze passage on future policing, spelling, one-word substitution, antonyms and synonyms. General awareness, verbal reasoning, numerical ability and figure-based reasoning follow. An answer key for all 100 questions and hints and solutions for selected questions are included.
