The Air Force Common Admission Test (AFCAT) is the Indian Air Force’s entrance exam for commissioned officers in the Flying Branch and the Ground Duty (Technical and Non-Technical) branches. The IAF normally holds it twice a year, and the online test is followed by interviews and tests at an Air Force Selection Board (AFSB).
ExamForge gives you 4 free, timed AFCAT mock tests of 63 to 95 questions each, covering General Awareness, Verbal Ability in English, Numerical Ability and Reasoning. Every question has an explanation after you submit. The question bank is in English only. Your first three sets need no signup.
The real AFCAT deducts 1 mark for every wrong answer. ExamForge sets have no negative marking, so to rehearse exam scoring, take off one mark for each wrong answer and give yourself three for each right one.

The AFCAT written paper is one objective test with four sections. Every question carries three marks.
| Section | Subject | Questions | Marks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Section 1 | General Awareness | 25 | 75 |
| Section 2 | Verbal Ability in English | 30 | 90 |
| Section 3 | Numerical Ability | 20 | 60 |
| Section 4 | Reasoning and Military Aptitude | 25 | 75 |
| Total | 2 hours for the whole paper | 100 | 300 |
| Response | Marks |
|---|---|
| Correct answer | +3 |
| Wrong answer | −1 |
| Not attempted | 0 |
Candidates for the Ground Duty Technical branches also take the 50-question, 150-mark Engineering Knowledge Test, which ExamForge does not cover. Because a wrong answer costs a third of what a right one earns, guess only when you can rule out at least one option.
Questions are set at graduate level, with English and reasoning at the heart of the paper. ExamForge’s mock tests mix all four areas the way the exam does.
Current affairs and static facts, 25 questions.
The biggest section, with 30 questions.
Arithmetic at Class 10 level, 20 questions.
Verbal and non-verbal reasoning, 25 questions.
Requirements vary by branch and change between notices, so read the current AFCAT notification. In general:
Selection runs in this order.
The online test above, plus the EKT for technical branches.
Shortlisted candidates attend a five-day Air Force Selection Board with psychological tests, group tasks and an interview. Flying Branch candidates also take a computerised pilot aptitude test.
Candidates recommended by the AFSB go to a medical board, and the final merit list combines the written and AFSB results.
English carries the most marks of any section, and reading comprehension and error spotting reward daily practice.
With −1 against +3, a wrong guess is cheap only if you usually get a question right once you narrow it down.
There are no sectional time limits, so spend your first thirty minutes on the questions you can answer fastest.
General Awareness often draws on exercises, procurement, appointments and air-force history.
Mock tests 1 to 4 have 95, 83, 75 and 63 questions, with one minute for each question. The real paper has 100 questions in 2 hours.
