It was the most difficult task of the day early in the morning at 0500 hrs of 2nd of October 2010 that is to wake up. We were ordered to gather near barracks at 7 AM with our luggage packed. We completed our daily business, bathed and taken food and gathered at the specified area. We are then given instructions and taken to the Stage I testing area that is Screening test in which we are to face two intelligence tests of 40-40 multiple choice questions which are to be completed in 17 minutes respectively. After the intelligence test we are shown a blunt hazy picture to write a story upon for PPDT Test that is Picture Perception Description Test. In this test a hazy picture is shown on which story is to be written making a central idea of solving a problem or some courageous story. After written part, groups are formed according to chest numbers and group discussion(GD) is being carried out in which each candidate will narrated their story and the discussion is done after that. In discussion we are to reach a common story considering all the elements of the picture. Luckily I got a chance to conclude the story as no one concluded and the I stage was completed.
It was afternoon and stomach was shouting for its companion. Then we had our lunch and queued for Stage I result and the result was announced and I was through to the second stage of the SSB and got new chest number 38. Only about 70 were left from about 140 candidates. It was a happy moment for me as I had to stay in Dehradun for other 4 more days. I called at home and told them about this and they were too happy of hearing all this.
Now the real test was set to test us. In the evening we were called up for the first test of Stage II that was Psychology test. It was the most tiring test of the whole selection procedure as we have to write like horses running in race arena. The psychology test contains various tests such as Thematic aperception test(TAT), Word association test(WAT), Situation reaction test(SRT) and Self description test. In TAT 12 images are shown one by one on which we need to make a story of about 200 words. Last slide is blank slide so you should have to make any story from your own mind. In WAT 60 words come on screen one after another and we have to form sentences on each word within 15 secs. SRT test carries 60 different situations on which we need to give our reactions. One more test is there that is self description test in which we have to describe our self on behalf of our parents, teachers and ourselves. The psycho test was the most tiring one as it was not only written one but also it made us tired mentally.
It was 9 PM and we swiftly move towards mess took up our dinner and went to sleep. That day the food was nice as compared to the previous day. May be that was a reward for us for clearing the Stage I.
Next day we were to meet our next test that was Group task officers test (GTO) and the day to wander Dehradun and I was too much excited for the next day and it was the time to sleep. So Good Night friends.
