Days 3–4 — GTO Tasks

Two rounds — one on a current affairs topic, one abstract. The group must reach a consensus (ideally).

• •Initiate if you have a strong point — but only if prepared
• •Build on others' points; don't dismiss them
• •Summarise the group's view when appropriate
• •Volume and clarity matter — speak to the far end of the table

A map-based scenario. The group analyses a problem, plans a solution, and the GTO picks one candidate to brief the group.

• •Read the map carefully — distances and time constraints are key
• •Prioritise tasks by urgency and resources available
• •If chosen to brief: speak confidently, structure your plan clearly

An outdoor obstacle course completed as a full group (10–12 people) using helping materials. Difficulty increases across 4 obstacles.

• •Volunteer to carry materials, but also delegate
• •Ensure all group members cross each obstacle
• •Help physically weaker members without embarrassing them
• •Call out the plan loudly so the GTO can hear you contributing

Same format as PGT but with only half the group (~5 people). You have more visibility — use it.

• •This is your time to lead or at minimum strongly contribute
• •Speak up more than you did in PGT
• •Ensure the task is completed — the GTO is watching time management

A physical race involving obstacles. Speed and teamwork both matter.

• •Don't sprint ahead and leave the group behind
• •Help the slowest member — this shows cooperation
• •Energy and liveliness are assessed here — stay vocal and positive

You get 3 minutes to speak on one of 4 topics shown on a card. 1 minute preparation.

• •Choose the topic you know most about — not the most impressive one
• •Structure: Introduction → 2–3 main points → Conclusion
• •Maintain eye contact with the entire group, not just the GTO
• •Use examples — personal or current affairs — to make it vivid

10 individual obstacles to attempt in 3 minutes. Each obstacle has a point value (1–3). You choose the order.

• •Plan your sequence: start with easy-medium obstacles to build momentum
• •Attempt higher-value obstacles even if risky — partial attempts score points
• •Courage and initiative are assessed — don't play it safe exclusively
• •Speed matters — keep moving

You lead a sub-group of 2–3 people assigned by the GTO to complete an obstacle.

• •Give a clear, simple briefing before starting
• •Assign specific roles — don't let people stand idle
• •Check on your sub-group during the task
• •Thank them at the end — shows social grace

Last outdoor group task. Same format as PGT. The GTO is looking for consistency with your earlier performance.

• •Maintain the same energy as Day 3 — fatigue is normal but show stamina
• •This is your last chance to demonstrate initiative — take it
