I would like to request Artemis and other experienced senior members to share their tips (Dos and Don'ts) for psychological test esp. Group Discussion and Command Task.

Their input will be much appreciated.

When the psychological test would be commencing?

First and foremost, be yourself.

For IQ tests expect the unexpected. I remember we practiced verbal non-verbal tests before CE 2014 psychological but the test itself had nothing familiar. It was way too tough. And they keep revising it every year so nothing we had heard from our seniors was that helpful or even relevant.

It would be a good idea to practice GAT and GRE Quantitative section since they do ask questions based on mathematical formulas among many many others. Like this % of this % is ___?
They even asked riddles- and related stuff like who is the prime suspect in a given situation. And there was that riddle too; a man is blind, deaf and mute - how to give him a certain news blah blah Or may be there were three men in that riddle, I don remember. All I remember is that portion sucked BIG TIME!
And they do ask a lot of vocabulary - I think those words are either from Latin or Greek

It would be a good idea to revise your optional subjects as well as relevant compulsory ones like Pak Affairs because they usually touch them in Psychological interview. Again Current Affairs and questions related to Economy and Geography are usually asked even in Psychological interview.

That's some information! How's your interview prep going? I guess you're too seasoned to worry about anything like that

Yeah I think I have come a long way after that. If anything am not to freak out or get overwhelmed this time.
I have MoD interview this month, guess it would be a good warm up before FPSC's one. As far as my prep is concerned, am trying to keep in touch with current happenings; reading newspaper. I will revise Maths etc once I get the schedule, as I tend to forget.

And I have something to add, in IQ test they don give options, so no room for guessing. All you have is a blank line- it's like they saying
'write whatever the heck is on your mind, we ain't giving no hints'

Yeah and read some Urdu newspapers before group discussion. When it comes to the discussing in Urdu, we tend to use all the English vocab/terms and it gets embarrassing at times.
