• Don't try to make your PIQ a masterpiece . Write only facts. No fancy hobbies, no fake achievements.
• Do not stand up while narrating your story. Many candidates do that in anxiety. You should only stand up if you're narrating the common story to the assessors.
• PPDT : Do not look at assessors while the individual narration is going on. Look at the candidate who is narrating his story. Also, don't look at the assessors while narrating your story. Address the group.
• Do not turn the discussion into a debate. Also, avoid aggressive body language. Try to maintain a calm body posture and smile.
• Don't try to merely fill the pages. Time is important. Stick to quality, not quantity. It's not a writing competition.
Here are a few don'ts -
1. Do not speak if you've got no content to speak about. This is applicable in the screening in part.
2. Do not dominate a proceeding. That's a mega negative.
3. Always shave. Never look shabby.
4. Do not be someone that you aren't. Do not be afraid to say "no" to some unknown question.
5. Do not get demoralized by one bad test. You can make it up somewhere else.
