Section 3 – Group Testing

Individual Obstacles

How the task is conducted

This is the third task in the confirmatory series. This is normally done on the
second GTO day. However, depending on the testing schedule and the

weather, it can also be done on the first day. The GTO will first brief the
candidates and thereafter show each obstacle one by one and explain what is

required to be done. There will be a total of 10 obstacles to be individually in
three minutes. Obstacles will be numbered from 1 to 10 and the number of
the obstacle also indicates the points you will get if you do it successfully.

Thus, if you tackle successfully tackle all the ten obstacles in the allotted time
of three minutes, you will get 55 points. The obstacles are placed at random
and you are also at liberty to do these obstacles in the sequence you like. In

case you take too long on any particular obstacle, you may leave it, go to the
next and come back to it later if time permits. And, in case you happen to
complete all the ten obstacles successfully and still have some time left, you

can repeat the obstacles, and depending upon which one you repeat, you will
get those many extra points. However, you must remember that you should
not repeat unless you have completed all the 10 obstacles successfully, and

even while repeating, you are not permitted to repeat an obstacle more than
once.
