Those who will pass the IQ test will sit on the testing hall
once again. Now the PPDT (picture perception and description test) exam will

PPDT has two parts. One is Story Writing and the other is

to you for 30 seconds. Then you will start writing the story. The story has 3
sections:

number of characters in this section. You have to write AGE, SEX, MODE of each
character. The time for this is 30 seconds.



2. Action: in this box you will have to write the action of the
story/character in one or two lines. This will indicate the total idea of the
things happening in the whole picture. Time for this is 30 seconds.



3. Story: in this section you will have to write a story matching the
picture. You will get 180 seconds for this test.

hours to finish.



In the word association (sentence making) test you will have

will be in English and 20 will be in Bengali. These words will be shown to you
