• Remain confident about being selected, remain relaxed & do not feel

pressurised to force your views on others, in the fear that others will

dominate you.

• Never look at the assessors while narrating the story, or during the dis-

cussion.

• Listen to the speakers attentively.

• Be polite, give your ideas & views only, & do not argue with others.

• In case the entire group is shouting, as is usually seen in repeater

groups, do not try to out shout others. Wait for your turn patiently.

• Do not try to dominate the discussion by speaking more. The quality of

your views is more important than how much you speak.

• Do not repeat your views.

• Help the weak members to talk.

• If the story of the majority of the group is similar to yours, it is easy to

contribute to the discussion.

• In case your story is different from the entire group, it is sensible to

change your views & help the group in forming a consensus story,

rather than trying to guide the group towards your perspective.
