What you need
Steps
Pick 10 unfamiliar words from an AFCAT or CDS previous-year paper or a repeated-words list. Keep the batch small enough that you actually finish it.
Write each word with its meaning in plain English. Say the meaning aloud once so you hear it as well as read it.
Add two or three synonyms next to each word. Exam questions often test words that mean the same thing.
Write one sentence of your own for each word, about something you did today. Your own sentence is easier to recall than a textbook one.
Test yourself the same day by covering the meanings and saying them from memory. Put a star next to the words you miss.
The next morning, review only the starred words, then add 10 new ones. Keep the missed words on a separate short list.
At the end of each week, do a timed 10-question quiz mixing words and synonyms. Match the speed you need in the exam.
Use each new word once in conversation or in a written answer during the week. That moves it from recognising to actually using it.
Tips and common mistakes
Learn words inside a phrase, because a chunk like take a toll on sticks better than the single word toll.
Group synonyms together but note the small difference in tone, since exam options often differ by a shade of meaning.
Revise on days 1, 3 and 7 rather than rereading the whole list every day.
Ten words fully learned beat fifty words half-learned, so do not keep adding words you never review.
Questions
How many words should I learn a day?
Ten is a workable number for exam preparation. That gives you roughly 70 words a week with one day kept free for review.
Are synonyms enough, or do I need the exact meaning?
Learn the exact meaning first, then the synonyms. Exam options often differ by a small shade of meaning, so the closest synonym is not always the answer.
How do I stop forgetting words I learned last month?
Keep a running list of missed words and test yourself on it weekly. Words you never miss can be dropped from the list after two clean reviews.
