HOW TO COMPLETE INDIVIDUAL OBSTACLES IN LESS THAN 3 MINS?

10 Individual Obstacles(GTO) in SSB and How to complete more than 10 in 3mins?

Individual obstacle: A stage given to candidates to show their physical fitness and time management ability.

This is the third task in the Ground test. It usually happens on second day of SSB. However, depending on testing schedule and the weather, it can also be done on third day.

Here, the GTO will first brief the candidates and thereafter show each obstacle one by one and explain what it to be done. There will be total of 10 obstacles to be tackled individually in three minutes. Obstacles will be numbered from 1 to 10 and the number of obstacle also indicates the points you will get if you do it successfully. Thus, if you tackle all the 10 obstacles successfully in the allocated time(3 mins) you will be awarded 55 points.

The obstacles are placed at random and you are also at liberty to do these obstacle in your own sequence. Its wise to complete all the ten obstacles in given time. If you complete all ten and still have some time left you can repeat any obstacle, which will help you get extra points.

Do not repeat a obstacle unless until you have finished all ten. You are permitted to repeat an obstacle more than once.

How to complete more than 10 obstacle in 3 mins?

1. You will be given 1 min to go around the obstacles and arrange the sequence which you would like to follow (making a plan in mind).
2. Always start with obstacles with more points.
3. Don’t worry about time, it runs very fast when you are doing obstacles.
4. You shouldn’t but in case you get stuck at any obstacle then don’t waste time trying to do it, go for next obstacle as per your plan and come back in last for this obstacle you were not able to do.
5. Never hesitate in taking a leap or jumping in double ditch(Its cowardliness).
6. Don’t get confused or it will become mess on ground.
7. Don’t worry how much others did in your group, concentrate on what you going to do in your chance.
8. Don’t take stupid shortcut, like trying to climb the Burma Bridge obstacle via rope, it takes more time that way.
