What to Prepare after CDS Written Exam?

cds exam preparation

One of the most common cause of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat~~ Napoleon Hill”. Serving our motherland is far less a job but a glory that one achieves while doing so in life. Defence life is also full of adventure, fun and toughness and that’s why thousand s of aspirants always keep trying for these forces. That’s why the process to enter the forces is highly scientific and is based on testing competencies which are known as OLQ’s in defence language through various assessments spanning over five days. These OLQ’s are nothing but the traits that are needed to serve our motherland better. Hence the selection process has been made stringent and has a high rejection rate. There are various ways to enter the defence forces, some have written exam, some are direct entries but SSB is same and common for all the entries.

CDS exams are over now and one must be feeling relaxed after the hard work that aspirants have put in. But let me tell you this is not the right time to relax as written exams are only over and it’s just a way to reduce crowd and select few apt people who are then tested in SSB. The real test would be to clear SSB where you are being judged at conscious, sub conscious and unconscious level of minds. These are taken through different testing modes and are divided in three parts of GTO, PI and psychology. Remember you will be assessed by different assessors and different competencies are being assessed every time so that there is no chance to make mistakes in analysing candidates. The following things are needed for preparation now:
  • Start working on your personality as I have seen people waiting for the result but then preparation time is very less and full improvements cannot be done. 
  • Psychology needs time to bring about a change in personality and adapt the new measures by the experts. Always look for individual guidance as your personality is quite different from others so everything while learning also cannot be clubbed together. 
  • I have seen my mentees struggling with stories in TAT or PPDT and writing things as per the myths that they hear from their friends. It does not work that way. Few essential elements should be there. Apart from that you should something that reflects you in a true sense and only your OLQ’s

  • Improve your communication as it is sufficient to build the very first good impression. Start practicing things now and take mock tests under guidance. 
  • General awareness is something that needs a huge time to prepare because of its boundary less syllabus and value. Start if immediately after the CDS exam and keep adding to your knowledge base. 
  • Keep your body fit and exercise regularly from now onwards. What all you would do after getting call letter? Don’t wait for the last moment as officers don’t do that. It’s better to start some things early. 
  • And please spend time in analysing your personality, if you feel any difficulty take the help of experts who are having time to guide you on one to one basis. 
 OIR Test Coaching

Don’t rest and waste time. You have to work hard for your dream and then only the possibility of clearing SSB would be a reality. Good things are achieved only through hard work. Still If you feel the need of individualised assessment and mocks from your home itself through mentoring, counseling that I provide or you have a query bothering your mind which hinders your preparation drop me a mail at [email protected] or add me on Fb and drop in a message. It would be a pleasure to help and resolve queries and clear doubts which are more often myths that are present in the place and help you identify the right path.
