There will be 3 phases of testing in Pilot Aptitude Battery Test.For convenience you can basically split this as Written exam( Phase 1 ) and Machine test ( Phase 2,3). Before each test the process will be properly explained by officers. You are free to ask all your doubts regarding any issue that crops up.

Written test or Instrumentation and Battery test
This test for PABT is basically done to examine how well you can read the basic
instruments in an air plane.You may think now that I don't know anything
about the instruments. Do not worry, all the instruments will be shown
and will be properly explained there. You need to listen to what the
officer says and be alert at that time. Ask him doubts if you find any
trouble reading the instruments. We again stress the importance of
asking doubts at the proper time. Do not hold back your doubts. Ask it
and clear it
If you can listen to the officer properly you will be able to pass the exam.
But as we do not want to take chances it would be good to know about the test better as our motto always is
Understand the test better and prepare accordingly you will pass it.
So here we are go to explain the test for a small advantage that you will have above your competitors.
After the explanation by the officer during the test you will be asked to write an exam. The exam will
be conducted in 20 minutes and you will have to answer around 60
questions. The number of questions is huge as they are providing maximum
provision for improvement, previously there used to be only 30
questions for 20 minutes.If you can answer just 20
questions in 20 minutes you would have a chance of getting in if your
answers are right.
Also do not go for answers which you are not sure of. Answer always the
questions you are sure and you will have a better chance to get
yourself selected.
Now what will be the questions about ?
As we have said the questions will be about the instruments and their
readings normally. So if you have some understanding about functioning of the
instruments it is better you can by pass your competitors by leaps. So
here we will provide the basic information for you to get selected.
There are 6 type of instrument about which you should have some basic knowledge about.
The 6 instruments are
- Magnetic Compass
- Artificial Horizon
- AltiMeter
- Turn and Back Indicator

Phase 2 or Drum Test or Control Velocity Test
This is a more simpler video game. You would have played many basic
video games where you are a tank and you need to shoot at air planes
coming above on the screen. In fact control velocity test is just the same one intended to measure your speed reactions to various situations.
Speed matters here nothing else.
You will have a knob which controls the red ball. When the game
starts a series of yellow balls will come from all sides of the
screen. What you need to do is basically superimpose the red ball on the
yellow balls. Each capture will give you 1 point.
You need to score maximum points in the give time period. The maximum you score here the maximum chance you have of passing thegrade required for PABT.
You will get enough practice chance before you need to attempt the game. Hence you need not go to any training institute where similar equipments have been installed. In fact being cool and enjoying the game will get you some good scores in this test.

Word Association Test
Word Association Test is the second test that will be conducted on Day 2
of your SSB interview schedule.After the Thematic appreciation test ,
you will be given a break of around 10 minutes and you will have to
attend the Word Association Test soon.
Word association test will have a series of words shown on the projector
and you will be asked to respond to the word show in a sentence.
eg. if the word shown on the screen is army
you can respond to it with
Indian army is the most prestigious army in the world.
This is just an example. You can add any sentence that comes to your mind.
In fact a series of around 60 words will be shown on the projector and
you will be given a time gap of 15seconds to respond. So it is important
that you need to think fast properly and write your response legibly,
so if you practice this thing a bit you can develop well in this test.
So here are some practice words for your self practice.
Tips on writing the proper sentences
- Always write a positive response.Never give impression to your interviewer that you are a man with a negative outlook.
- Always write the response fast and neat.
- Avoid using sentences that are common ( like common sentences that are known to everyone ). You need to create a sentence yourself . The response you have given should be like you are the only person who can write that particular response. Remember that the interviewer will have conducted thousands of such interviews before and that he will have read thousands of replies to that particular word. So your sentence have to be something particular that the interviewer gets attracted to your sentence.
Word association test is one test where practice can make you perfect.
So prepare yourself well with all the possible options for this test and
keep on preparing. So aim to achieve maximum marks in this test.

Situation Reaction Test
Situation Reaction Test is conducted after a short break from the Word Association Test.
This test is similar to the Picture perception test in a bigger way with the point that no picture will be shown to you.
You will be given a question booklet where there will be a total of 60
questions. The total time for the test will be 30 minutes. So by doing
the math you can understand that
60 questions - 30 minutes
2 questions – 1 minute.
So you should be able to complete each question in 30 seconds time.Try to
do all 60 and remember that even if you are not able to do all 60 it
would not affect your marks much. So be cool and try(only try ) to do all 60
questions. That will ensure that you will be able to do the maximum
questions and top the grades of SSB.
What is the test about ?
The test will be about real life situations which you will have to face
in real life. You are expected to write a response to the situation ( of
how you will react to the situation if a similar occurrence comes up in
your life. )
Be careful to note that all the response you write should end with you solving the problem and always be positive.
Another point to note here is the fact that always respond in sequence.
Complete the questions one by one and then move on to the next. This
will give an impression to the interviewer that you are consistent that
you will respond to any situation with equal importance.
Write your response legibly . Just 2-3 lines will do the job.
See the practice problems we have provided for you.

Self Description
This is another area where you can prepare a well written answer the day
before the exam. Even if you have not prepared an answer for you be
clear of what to write when you are given the time to write.
The test time will be 15 minutes and it would give a good impression
to your interviewer if you can write the self description in paragraphs
in a proper model in a neat and legible way.
Proper model
A well prepared Self Description will have the following subheadings
- What you think about yourself
- What your friends think about you
- What your parents think about you
- What your teachers think about you
Prepare well the first part yourself. Add more points in the first part and be precise in the other 3 parts.
So while writing the last 3 parts it would be good if you can ask your
friends , teachers and parents about what they think about you. This can
sound silly to many. But understand that they can provide correct
insight about you which will be helpful in developing your character
better,.
Suppose if your parents say that you are lazy. Write it in the elf
description and also add the point that you have been trying hard to
overcome that weakness you have. Also point out the steps you have done
to overcome that particulate weakness with examples.
So it is important that you need to spend some time and write a wonderful
self description about you. It would be better if you are true to
yourself and not add unnecessary qualities just for the sake of
impressing your interviewers. Write almost all the negatives about you
and the steps you have been doing to reduce those negatives. This would
be one area where you will be able to impress your interviewer. So be
well prepared with your self description. In fact I would suggest you to
write a self description about you now. You can edit it based upon
other factors later.
See some of the model self descriptions we have provided to you.
