4-Week SSB Prep Planner — Day-by-Day Checklist
Twenty-eight days of structured SSB preparation — each day links to a free simulator, guide or Q&A category on ssbpractice.in. Week 1 builds screening and psychology foundations; Week 2 runs full strict simulations; Week 3 covers GTO and the Personal Interview; Week 4 handles medical awareness, stress questions and final dress rehearsals. Adjust pace if you have more or less time — consistency beats cramming.
