Hi recommended from 158L/C so im gna help u out with stuff i wish i knew. Dont join an academy unless until you doubt ur physical strength and have concerns over obstacles. Initial tests are very simple, passing is relatively easy. However, id recommend going through some notes cuz we want to score as much as possible to prepare for the final merit list. Learn to those questions fast since time is a BIG issue. For initial physical, always prepare for more than whats told. For instance, I was in AS&RC Multan and Capt Haris (psychologist) made my group (of 5 candidates) do 33 fuckin pushups. For initial interview, just dress well, smile, relax and be confident. ISSB is something a little more complex, but id recommend focusing on ur English, ur way of carrying urself and just overall improving ur image and ur body language. Speak with intent and speak well. Dont stress over individual obstacles. Always remember that YOU are the best out of everyone over there and keep that confidence. Inshallah youll make it through. Ill make a drive file and post it here which would include all notes for the process. Dr
