Whenever, I met with the candidates which has given their ISSB Tests and got Not Recommended . I usually asked about the reasons, what was the reasons behind your this result. In this post, I have summarized the experiences of different candidates who got not recommended in ISSB
Hide their Orignal Personality:
It’s often said, “One requires more intelligence to tell a lie and get away with it”. As said earlier, the assessors are highly trained and hence it’s very difficult to fake yourself in front of them. At best one can modify his/her responses to project well but if someone tries to tell blatant lies, it is likely that he/she may be caught. The best thing to do is to hide some negative facts and project the positives in a way that it catches the attention of the assessors. Most coaching academies tend to tell you the ideal and candidates try to fake themselves. We call this bad coaching effect and reject the candidates.
Wake up in the end
I have heard so many candidates who appeared in the PMA/ GDP online test but did not do anything till they received the call letter because they were not sure if they will clear the test. This is most unfortunate. If you think you can become a Class I Officer by preparing in the last one month or so you are sadly mistaken. Even though ISSB is a test of personality, one requires to prepare a lot both physically and mentally. There is no substitute for hard work.
Don’t Read Newspaper
Often candidates don’t read a standard newspaper. They struggle in communication and also lack knowledge about current affairs. Unless one reads a good English newspaper regularly, he/she can’t acquire the required knowledge about what is happening in and around. Reading Newspaper is also an art. One must separate the wheat from the chaff and grasp the essentials. It’s always good to make small notes of certain facts and figures. If you see the general knowledge section of the ISSB exam you would realize that most questions come from the newspaper.
Don’t Do Physical Activities
Even though ISSB is not about physical attributes, one must be able to do at least the bare minimum. I have come across several candidates who are obese and don’t attempt the obstacles that involve some risk. It may not be that they lack courage but the fact that they are obese they just don’t take any chances. This is a sure case of failure
