A full Tech Gen paper to the real DGCA shape — 100 questions in 3 hours, one mark each, passing at 70 — drawn fresh each time from all 4,234 Technical General questions across 102 chapters, spanning aerodynamics, engines, systems and instruments.
The real shape
Exam mode on AIVR CPL is built to this blueprint and nothing else — the same count, the same clock, the same marking and the same pass mark as the DGCA Technical General sitting.
Before you start
Technical General is 100 questions at 1 mark each in 3 hours — about 108 seconds a question — and it is really four subjects sharing one paper: aerodynamics, powerplant, systems and instruments. A candidate strong in three of them still fails if the fourth is untouched, because the draw does not care which one you skipped.
The 100 questions come at random from all 4,234 in the bank, so the four areas appear roughly in the proportion the bank holds them — which is the proportion DGCA sets them in. That is exactly what makes a mock uncomfortable in a useful way: it will find the area you have been avoiding.
Aerodynamics is where most candidates start and instruments is where most stop, so the losses cluster in gyroscopics, the pitot-static system, pressurisation and the electrical chapters. A mock is the cheapest way to discover that before the sitting does.
Every question carries its chapter, so the breakdown after submission names the area rather than the subject, and the mistakes bank collects the questions themselves for a direct second pass.
Marked out of 100 against the 70 pass, broken down by chapter, with every wrong answer dropped into the mistakes bank. Test and exam results move the readiness engine, which predicts your mark on a fresh paper as a range and flags when too few chapters have been tested for that range to mean anything.
One question from the pool
In exam mode neither the tick nor the solution below appears until the whole paper is submitted. This one is opened up so you can see what you get afterwards.
Every paper is assembled fresh from all 4,234 questions, so no two sittings are the same.
A wrong answer and a blank score the same, so there is never a reason to leave one unanswered.
The result breaks down across the 102 chapters, so a fail names the topic rather than the subject.
