AP ICET sample questions
A few real AP ICET questions with answers and step-by-step solutions, in the exact style of the full mock tests.
Analytical AbilitySample 1
What is the area of the rectangle? Statement I: Its perimeter is 20 cm. Statement II: Half its perimeter is 10 cm.
- A.Statement I alone is sufficient, but Statement II alone is not
- B.Statement II alone is sufficient, but Statement I alone is not
- C.Both statements together are sufficient, but neither alone is
- D.Both statements together are not sufficient
Solution: Both statements say l + b = 10; many rectangles share that perimeter, so the area is not fixed.
Communication AbilitySample 2
What does the phrasal verb 'Take over' mean?
- A.Assume control of
- B.Remove
- C.Resemble
- D.Employ
Solution: 'Take over' means 'Assume control of'.
Mathematical AbilitySample 3
What is the difference between compound interest and simple interest on Rs 4,000 for 2 years at 8% per annum?
- A.Rs 320
- B.Rs 33.6
- C.Rs 25.6
- D.Rs 51.2
Solution: For 2 years, CI − SI = P(R/100)² = 4000 × (8/100)² = Rs 25.6.

How to prepare for AP ICET
A proven, focused AP ICET preparation method — from building strong fundamentals to peaking with full-length mocks.
- 1
Master data sufficiency
Learn the four-option logic: decide whether each statement alone, both together, or neither fixes the answer.
- 2
Arithmetic is the largest block
Percentages, ratios, profit & loss, interest, time & work and speed make up most of Mathematical Ability.
- 3
Attempt all 200
With no negative marking, an empty answer is a lost chance.
