2: Group planning exercise.

The exercise begins soon after the group disscussion,  its an indoor task, where the group testing Officer reads out the narrative and with the help of the sand model or sketch map explain the situation to the candidates.  The map or model contains the scale, legend etc. If the candidates required any clarification to some points, then it is cleared by the group testing officer. Thereafter, the candidates are to write down their individual solutions in the paper provided for the purpose. The candidates are not allowed to consult each other while writing down their solutions. The candidate have to write down their cheat numbers on the tip of the writing papers. The time for this written work is about 10 minutes. Thereafter, the candidates are required to discuss among themselves the situation and problems so as to arrive at a group solutions or plan. Every candidate is desired to express hos views on the situation. Al the candidates must arrive at a group plan. In the case the whole group is not unanimous in deciding the solution, then the plan accepted by the majority of the candidates is presented as the plan of the group. Then one of the candidate who is selected by the group itself stand up as a spolesman and present the plan to the group testing officer. The te limit for the discussion presentation is the observation and study of natural phenomena all around him. The time limit for discussion presentation of the group plan is usually 20 minutes. After the presentation of group plan, the group testing officer may ask the other candidate to give comments or criticism or suggestion. If any, to improve or modify the plan.
FOR GROUP PLANNING.. He will check your participation.. for military planning polish your maths... for example. If a car is moving at speed of 20 km/hour how much its going to cover in 8.5 mins? (Hopefully my question makes sense)
.
This type of questions are there as interview questions..
.
Listen very well to GTO... in military planning or group planning GTO will speaks alot, he will try to change your mind from that model.. but never ever talk with anyone.. and try to solve the mathematical questions.. GTO will make a long story...... listen to it(who tells story) well.. and there will be only few things to keep in mind/important... again logic and attitude matters..

Always remembers the conditions which he will tell you about the plan like time, speed, distance, about roads (he will tell you that its bad road or its a good one)

Secondly during planning every one will give his opinion so listen to others too to give your opinion with logic.. because GTO is watching you all and he know, s who is doing well..
Do show initiative when he ask who will become Commander ... generally he chooses the worst person first (not obvious but from experience)
