How to clear SSB Screening Test


SSB starts with screening test consisting of 2 papers, first is Officer Intelligence Rating Test (verbal/non-verbal test) and the other paper is PPDT.

Verbal/Non-Verbal test requires simple and analytical reasoning which are basic questions of 10th level, anyone can perform here. Just do a little bit of practice if you are not confident.

PPDT, Picture Perception and Description Test , a picture will flash for 30 seconds. The candidate have to write a story for the next 4 minutes, highlighting the main characters, number of characters,their age,sex,mood and what led to the situation? What is going on and what would be the outcome?

PPDT: Make a logical story, the main character, most of the time, should be a young and dynamic person. First, give a little bit of background then explain the situation and finally solve that problem in the logical efficient way. After this, a discussion will be conducted where a group of 15-20 candidate will be there. Each candidate will be given 1 minute to narrate his/her perception of story
and once when all the candidate finished, the group discussion will start.

The candidate will discuss among themselves about the story and achieve the common consensus about the characters and theme of the story.

Tips: Better efficiently use the 1 minute, to narrate your story confidently and in a voice tone that all your group can hear. Its best to speak in English but if the candidate stuck,they can use hindi but should revert back as soon as possible, to English.

If you have spoken 2-3 times,added valuable and logical part to the story and everyone listen to you, then you are definitely in.

Note: Never address the assessor.
