How To Crack SSB Interview

Service Selection Board Interview is a 5 day process that involves numerous tests to ascertain physical and mental ability of a candidate.

Let me assume that you have already received a call letter for SSB Interview or will be receiving soon. Now, what is the exact preliminary planning needed at this stage when plethora of information is available online regarding SSB Interview?

You need to answer these 2 questions before we proceed further.

1.) Do you know in detail about the tests conducted over 5 Days?

If you do then good enough! If not, don’t worry we’ll tell you how to.

2.) Assuming you do know about the tests conducted. Have you ever prepared a list dividing all the tests on the basis of your personal difficulty level?

If you haven’t, then the planning has been weak on your part. You should make a chart based on your personal skills and abilities. To make your work simpler we have attached a chart for reference. Take time and Jot down yours

This makes you realise what you are weak at. Once you know your weak points and strengths you can consequently work on them in a structured manner.

For example if you are shy and nervous, then the only way to overcome this is by speaking more openly and among public. This will be your first step towards improvement.

Likewise, if you are weak at quick decision making then involve yourselves in daily life decisions. Lets say your friend wishes to purchase something and is unable to make that decision, Can you help him?

Let’s say your parents wish to make an investment decision. Can you give your insights and make them take a quicker decision?

Instances like these help you develop this behavior and your instincts kick in better when there’s actually a circumstance when you have to take a quick decision.
