Sga Issb Guide: Selector Grooming Academy
The Only ISSB Guide Written by Actual ISSB Selectors.
Every year, thousands of young Pakistanis walk into ISSB. Most walk out without a recommendation - not because they lacked potential, but because they didn't know what the selectors were truly looking for.
This book changes that.
The SGA ISSB Guide is the first and only comprehensive ISSB preparation book authored by officers who sat on the other side of the table. Kashif Razzak served as Deputy President at ISSB Malir for over five years, personally assessing nearly 10,000 candidates. Asad Gillani served as Group Testing Officer at ISSB Kohat. Dr. Zainab Qazi brings expert-level insight as an Assistant Professor and Mental Health Counsellor specializing in psychological assessment. Together, they have decoded every element of the ISSB selection process - and put it all in one book.
What's Inside:
This guide covers all 8 essential chapters of ISSB preparation in plain, clear language:

Most ISSB guides are written by people who prepared for ISSB. This one is written by people who ran it.
The authors don't guess what selectors look for - they know, because they were the selectors. Every test, every task, and every interview question in this book is explained from the inside out, with the precise cognitive and personality markers that determine who gets recommended and who goes home.
This guide also introduces the CCAT framework - mapping every ISSB activity to the four core cognitive skills that all three selectors measure simultaneously: problem-solving, critical thinking, learning ability, and reasoning. Understanding this framework transforms how you prepare.
