AP ICET Analytical Ability Data Sufficiency Syllabus

1. Data Sufficiency:

A question is given, followed by data in the form of two statements labelled as (i) and (ii). If the data given in (i) alone is
sufficient to answer the question, then choice (1) is the correct answer. If the data given in (ii) alone is sufficient to
answer the question, then choice (2) is the correct answer. If both (i) and (ii) put together are sufficient to answer the
question but neither statement alone is sufficient, then choice (3) is the correct answer. If both (i) and (ii) put together
are not sufficient to answer the question and additional data is needed, then choice (4) is the correct answer.

2. Problem-Solving

 A) Sequence and Series: Analogies of numbers and alphabet; completion of blank spaces following the pattern
in a:b::c:d relationship; odd thing out the missing number in a sequence or a series.

 B) Data Analysis: The data given in a Table, Graph, Bar diagram, Pie Chart, Venn Diagram or Passage is to be
analyzed and the questions pertaining to the data are to be answered.

 C) Coding and Decoding Problems: A code pattern of English Alphabet is given. A given word or a group of
letters are to be coded or decoded based on the given code or codes.

 D) Date, Time & Arrangement Problems: Calendar problems, clock problems, blood relationships, arrivals,
departures and schedules, seating arrangements, symbol and notation interpretation.

AP ICET 2025 Exam Syllabus: Communication Ability

1. Identify vocabulary used in day-to-day communication (Vocabulary).

2. Understand the functional use of grammar in day-to-day communication as well as in the business contexts
(Functional Grammar).

3. Identify the basic terminology and concepts in computer and business contexts (letters, reports, memoranda,
agenda, minutes etc. (Business and Computer terminology).

4. Understand written text and drawing inferences (Reading Comprehension (4 Passages)).
