Ans MISCONCEPTION: This is not like that.Let me assure you that during ISSB,everyone gets equal oppurtunity to show his/her talent and selection is done absolutely on merit.For your knowledge, during my ISSB,out of 58 candidates only six were recommended and out of six we were three urdu speakings.
Q-13 In pshyco test,how many sentences do we have to make?
Ans There are normally 100 words.Each word comes on screen for 10 seconds.So you have nine to ten seconds to make the sentence.
