SSB Study Material with Solution Set - SRT

Thought of starting a new series where we will provide sample of the things being asked at SSB. In this solution set we will consider majorly the psychology round which consists of four rounds. Along with the sample solutions we will provide tips to perform well in SSB psychology as lot of aspirants have dropped me a mail regarding the same. 

Psychology has a well-defined parameter and expectations from the aspirants. Psychology is an area where there is no fixed answer for anything. Everything is judged as per personality attempting the question set. So never try to copy the similar responses as that can actually backfire. The actual process of psychology preparation consists of doing self-introspection first which consists of  studying the life events with respect to OLQ’s and tracing based on this the strength and weakness . When one is completely aware of the personality of theirs they are ready to reflect the same in psychology or whatever they do at SSB. This exercise is really very crucial and needs a lot of effort, time and expertise to know the complete self. Here only individual guidance becomes handy. So let’s begin the discussion.
