Importance of Half-Group Task

The HGT can be considered as the most important task of GTO Outdoor tasks. After the GD
and PGT, some of the candidates might have assumed the role of a leader and some of the

candidates may not have been able to express themselves or put forth their views because of
the presence of brilliant candidates in his group. After the PGT and GD, the GTO might have

formed an assessment about each candidate and he observes every candidate minutely in HGT
to conclude or to change his former assessment.
As the number of candidates is reduced to half, GTO can minutely observe the leadership

qualities of every candidate. Also in HGT, every candidate has a wider opportunity to show his
various character traits and leadership qualities if in case he failed to do so in PGT. So you must
give importance to HGT as this test will mark your leadership qualities. After the HGT, the GTO

will form a clear cut assessment about every candidate and he assesses the candidates further
in the following tests to confirm his earlier findings.
