• Misconception: Candidates should make efforts to show consistency
in responses.

• Facts: In SRT when situations are similar your responses should obvi-
ously similar. Apart from this, a candidate should not be bothered

about trying to establish consistency in responses. This is the job of

the assessor & he/she will do it!

GTO

• Misconception: In Group Planning Exercise a candidate must make

efforts to nominate himself and narrate the plan on behalf of the

group.

• Comments: This is a very commonly observed stupid conduct of

coached candidates. It should never be done. Only narrate the plan if

others have nominated you to do so.

• Misconception: If a self-appointed person narrates his plan in the

GPE which is not sensible you must agree with it because in military

life this is the norm.

• Comments: Military is not a stupid organisation; you should not

agree to senseless ideas; Please correct the ideas considered as wrong

by you unhesitatingly, in the plan narrated.

Interview

• Misconception: The interviewing officer has read whatever you
wrote in the psychology test and you must ensure that you speak ex-

actly the same things.
