Screening tests are conducted to see if the candidates have the apparent potential so that they can be taken to the second stage of four days testing.

You have verbal and nonverbal tests to check your IQ levels and there is no negative marking. You require speed to finish the tests maintaining accuracy of answers.

You write one story on a vague picture this is a precursor to psych test because you have to handle twelve stories in the psych test. Be sure your story is related to the picture shown. Some times they show a picture showing floods but the candidate writes about drought conditions. It conveys whatever is told to the candidate he will do what he wants to do.

Also your story should have four elements in it.

1. Name of the hero.

2. Aim of the hero.

3. A challenge, as there is no hero without a challenge.

4. How he overcomes the challenge and comes out as a hero.

Story should be ten to twelve lines. All in the past tense. Remember the social themes existing in the country like Swachh Bharat, crops failure, female foeticide, farmers committing suicide etc. If genuinely some theme fits in,  make a story around that.

After writing the story you need to narrate the story in one minute this gives the indication to the testing officer about your participation during the interview. Finish your story in one minute positively.

During discussion do not be a referee that is not your job. You continue to participate in the discussion. Even if the entire group is not listening remember board members are listening.

If you have done well in verbal and nonverbal verbal tests, written a well connected story having the elements  mentioned above, you have narrated it well and participated in the discussion, there is no reason why would you not get screened in.
