Sample PPDT Practice copy for SSB / AFSB download PDF

A large number of candidates report for selection in SSB. All may not have the desirable qualities to be selected for armed forces so there is no point to go through the stage-II tests. Hence, the need to filter out these candidates on the very first day so that they can return to their home stations without wasting time. Thus, the stage-I testing at the SSB / AFSB acts as a filter for the same. In this testing, you are required to go through the Intelligence Rating test, and the Picture Perception and Description Test (PPDT).

Picture Perception and Discussion Test (PPDT):  You are shown a picture on the screen which you are required to perceive correctly. Time is thereafter given to pen down what you have perceived by way of the number of characters, their age, their mood, etc as also to write a story relating to the pictures. Your perception needs to be correct in order to do well in this PPDT test. This is followed by an individual storytelling and discussion test. Your power of expression, clarity of language (both grammatical and logical), confidence, participation, and ability to accept others’ ideas were all important facets of this test. Your body language and attitude during the whole test are also of consequence. What you must do is to remain involved with the test throughout.
