Frequently asked questions
What is SSB Psych Buddy?
SSB Psych Buddy is an online practice platform for the psychology tests of the SSB interview — the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), Word Association Test (WAT), Situation Reaction Test (SRT) and Self Description Test (SDT). It gives you timed, realistic practice so you can build speed and consistency.
Who built it?
SSB Psych Buddy was built by an SSB aspirant who wanted a simpler, more structured way to practise — and decided to share it with fellow aspirants. It is not run by serving officers, psychologists or SSB assessors, and it is not affiliated with the Services Selection Board.
Do I type my answers on the website?
No. Just like the real tests, you write your responses on paper. The platform shows the pictures, words, situations and SDT headings with the correct timing, and moves on automatically where the real test does. Your written answers are never collected or stored.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. Every feature — including all four tests, mock tests, practice history and payments — is designed to work on a smartphone. You can also add SSB Psych Buddy to your home screen.
What is the difference between the packages?
All packages include exactly the same features. The only difference is how long your access lasts: 1, 4, 6, 9 or 12 weeks.
Are the prices inclusive of GST?
The prices shown on the pricing page exclude GST. GST at 18% is added at checkout, where you will see the base price, the GST amount and the final amount before you pay.
Does my subscription renew automatically?
No. Each package is a one-time payment for a fixed period. When it ends, you can choose to buy another package. If you buy a new package while your current one is still active, the new weeks are added after your current expiry date, so you don't lose any time.
Can I revisit the prompts I practised?
Yes. Every practice set is saved in your Practice History in the exact order it was shown, so you can revisit the pictures, words and situations online whenever you are signed in.
Can I create my own mock test?
Yes. With the customised mock test builder you choose the number of TAT pictures, whether to include the blank picture, the number of WAT words and SRT situations, the SRT timing mode and whether to include the SDT.
Will practising here guarantee my recommendation?
No platform can promise that. SSB Psych Buddy helps you practise in a structured, realistic way so you become comfortable with the format and timing. How you think, write and express yourself is up to you.
