HOW TO WRITE BETTER SRT RESPONSES?
- Answer them like a daily life response
Situation reaction test, as the name signifies, is a test to check the response of a candidate toward a given situation. Sometimes candidates misinterpret it perceiving it like a test of just giving a workable response. Remember armed forces never recruit a bluff. Respond in your way, perceiving yourself in the situation and writing your response.
- Keep response short and simple
The response you have written must be short, simple and in a readable font. It is not a test of vocabulary or grammar. You have to write responses as short as possible in a meaning full way. Means the reader can easily get what you want to convey. Excessive writing and emphasizing on writing style will consume time and will misbalance your coordination.
- Remember OLQs while responding to SRTs
A candidate must remember OLQs while responding SRTs. Responsibility, planning and improvisation, initiative and decision making are the most OLQs used in SRTs. While stamina, liveliness and others are used in some special and rare cases.
- Focus on quality rather than quantity
The entire SSB schedule is based on the qualities that a candidate possesses. From psychology to GTO, it never matters how many SRTs you have attempted, what actually matters is the quality of SRT responses. But it doesn’t mean that you give more time on each SRT to give a perfect response. There is a limited time to attempt SRTs. So candidates are required to manage time and not to be careless while attempting SRTs.
- Don’t copy responses
It is a trend among SSB aspirants that whenever a candidate finds a good answer from any other aspirant, he adopts it without accessing its compatibility with his personality. Different responses suites different peoples and if someone copies the responses, it leads their traits to differ from your actual personality. So avoid copying and be yourself while responding to the problems.
