MYTHS  #41  :  During lecturette choosing average topic will not be a good choice

In this test your command over the subject is important and equally how you speak and organize your topic is vital.

MYTHS  #42 :  Giving valid suggestions in the conference will reduce your chances of selection

No. Suggestions should be legitimate and not like the bed wasn’t comfortable, mosquitoes, etc. you are going to the SSB board for selection and not to any 5 start hotel for a pleasant stay.

MYTHS  #43  :  SSB is not in favour of coached candidates.

It is widely believed that SSB doesn’t like trained candidates. That is absolutely wrong. And it is also wrong to believe Coaching provides an undue advantage over other candidates. No coaching can improve your OLQ unless you try to do so. But coaching greatly increases your confidence and reduces your time consumed during the SSB tests..

MYTHS  #44  :  Repeaters are not given attention by the SSB

: Repeaters are also given attention in SSB. It is absolutely a blunder to believe that fresher has a greater chance of selection. But it sometimes happens mainly because their Psycho part remains much natural than Repeaters. So repeaters go ahead. Take care of your Psychology. And it is wrong to believe that once getting Conferenced out will be an end of your career. You might not have been able to project some of Your OLQ’s well. You might get recommended in the next attempts.

MYTHS  #45  : Practicing more of SSB as well GTO tests will be an advantage in selection.

SSB is not a competition and hence your aim must not be for securing maximum marks particularly in Psycho as you may try to answer maximum questions within allotted time leaving several blunders in the answers most particularly in SRT. So take your time, answer every SRT considering your own Reactions only. Please do not copy any answers from anywhere. And it is wrong to believe that attempting maximum Individual Obstacles  would increase your chances of selection. IO is an individual task and doesn’t have much importance unlike the Group Tasks. So please don’t start preparation for Individual Obstacles from the moment you get your call letter. Give more focus on Psychology particularly repeaters.
