 Secret Tricks to Qualify in SSB Day 1 – Screening Test (OIR + PPDT)

The Screening Test (Day 1) of the SSB (Services Selection Board) interview is the most crucial step because only 30-40% of candidates get screened in for further testing. It consists of two main parts:

1. OIR Test (Officer Intelligence Rating Test)
2. PPDT (Picture Perception and Discussion Test)

 If you fail Screening, you will be sent back home the same day!

But don’t worry! Here are PROVEN SECRET TRICKS to clear Day 1!
