Interview Knowledge.
Interview is the test, where your personality traits are judged, where you are assessed via questions relating to your personal life, interests, living with some other basic, complex and counter questions. To get started, interview questions at issb can be divided into categories as below:

Questions from your personal life.
Questions from your academic Career.
Questions regarding your social life.
Your interests, games you play, your hobbies etc..
Sports you play.
Questions related to armed forces.
General awareness.
General knowledge questions.
Questions related to your religion (history of Islam)
Current affairs.
Abbreviations.
Questions regarding boyfriend or girlfriend
Sex related questions

Questions from your personal life
You should be prepared to answer questions about your personal life, the interviewing officer will give special stress to the hard times you might have seen during your childhood, if you ever lived in a hostel, away from your parents etc. You remember the form you filled when got selected for issb and at your first day at issb? that form contains nearly every important question regarding your personal life. You should not take it as a negative sign rather answer each question calmly and provide them with the original facts and figures. You should not feel ashamed of being poor or if you have faced hard time in your life rather its a plus from others that you have made up this point with such difficulties in your life.

Some of the basic questions they’ll might ask from you are:
Family background
Anniversary date and year of your parents (parents ki shadi ki date or saal).
Was this the first marriage of your parents.
Your fathers occupation.
Your mothers occupation.
No of siblings (bhen bhai) and your no.
Ever quarreled with your siblings? if yes on what issues?
Did you ever helped you younger siblings in their studies?
You ever felt of being alone (if you are the only child of your parents).
Ever wished to have a sister too (if you don’t have one).
Why your sister isn’t married yet (if she is elder and in a age near to marriage).
Your families total income.
Your grandfather occupation.

and many more, obviously you know yourself and your family more than me so it will never be a problem if what you have stated in your information form is all true.

Your Academic Career
Same as your personal life, your academic life span tells a lot about, were you good at studies, sports, you discontinued your studies somewhere in between? if yes then why so what were the circumstances. Why are you good at some subjects and why bad or even worse in some? (I was real bad at mathematics, hope you are not). Remember what you write in your issb form and not to repel with the information you already provided as another purpose of interview is to verify your provided information once more.

Some of the major questions includes:
Marks in matric (Secondary School, O’levels)
Percentage of marks in matric
Marks in Inter (FA / FsC, Higher Secondary School, A’levels)
Percentage of inter
Address of your school, college.
What subjects you are good at, why so?
What subjects you don’t like and why?
Why your academic graph dropped once while you were maintaining your position previously (if this had happened).

Mathematical Question:
Weight.
Time.
Space.
Speed
for example: Two cars are moving in opposite direction with a speed of 120Km/h and are 500meters away from, how much time will they take to pass each other?
Trick: Most of the questions asked are based one the tables of different fractions some of which includes: 1/2, 3/4, 1/4, table of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.25 etc.

Physics
Pascals law.
Boyle’s law.
Resonance.
Charles’s law
Newtons Law ( 1, 2 and 3)
and other from your physics book of 9th and 10th.

Social Life
Social life is all about how you behave socially, how you live your life outside you home with you family friends blah blah and yes, what you do on facebook as well now a days (this must be a valid and rock solid question now a days). The interviewing officer will ask about your friends, no of friends, bestties (best friends) and the habbit of them you like a lot.Some of the generic questions they might can ask are as follows:No of your friends.Male, female, ratio.Best friend.Some good habits of your best friend.Some bad.Amount of your facebook/social friends (this was asked from one of my friends in PMA 127)Males/ female, ratioBest friend there.and obviously some other as well.

Pakistan Studies
Nothing can be more important than the country you are going to fight for in forces, and this exactly elaborates the importance of Pakistan Studies when it comes to ISSB. It will be worth mentioning that once I meet an army officer who was appointed as an interviewing officer at ISSB kohat that time and in his briefing for the preparation of ISSB he clearly mentioned me that the statistics, weather conditions, border length (often asked) and every detail you may found about our homeland, Pakistan should be on your finger tips. I will never recommend a candidate who doesn’t even know whats the border length of ours with Afghanistan and what it is called. “Wo shahkas Mulk ki hifazaat kya khaak kare ga jis ko ye nahi pata humari Afghanistan se sarhad kitni hai?”. I hope I have made my point clear, else than this the topic name itself describes the purpose.Expected Questions:Border Length between Pakistan and Afghanistan?What is Radcliffe line?

History of Pakistan Armed forces
The force you are going to join wants you to know at least the bases on which it propagates and grown if not the whole details for sure and that is why interviewing officers always ask questions related to Pakistan Armed Forces, majority ask about Nishan-e-Haider and the names of recipients of this awards. You can find the list of the martyrs who were awarded Nishan-e-Haider here for your preparation. In addition some other questions can be asked as well but majority of the interviewing officers stick to the recipients of Nishan-e-Haider and Inter Services Ranks. View Inter Services Rank List here.Expected questions are:When Captain Muhammad Sarwar was awarded by Nishan-e-Haider?Army Captain is equal to which naval officer rank?Name of the Chief Commanding officers of Pakistan Army, Air Force and Navy.Importance of armed forces.ISI is an abbreviation of what?Role of our forces in Indo-Pak wars.

General Awareness
Armed personal should not only be sound when it comes to his body but should also act accordingly when it comes to his mind. He should know not only war tactics but should also keep an eye on whats going on and where and that is what ISSB requires from you. It doesn’t mean that you should know each and every thing ever made found or lived on earth but it elaborates the meaning of being aware generally. This will sound pretty vague in interview when you’ll be telling the officer that sir I have done my intermediate in Maths and I have no idea what read blood cells are or how blood is circulated in our body.

General Knowledge Questions

In ISSB questions regarding general knowledge are often asked keeping in view the age, experience and social circle of the candidate. A rough estimate tells us that only 10% is of General Knowledge. At ISSB interviewing officer will mainly stick to the following information:Name of Countries and their capitals.Geo location (Geographical location of countries)Name the current president, leading political parties.Current international situation.Expected Questions:Where Germany is located.Tell names of three countries located in Central Asia.The current government in United States is either of Democrats or Republicans.

Religion
Expected Questions:
Difference between Hijri and Nabwii.
No of Surah’s in Quran, total count of Madni Surat’s and Makki.
Total no of Ayahs.
Which Surat is called as Bab-ul-Quran.
Which Surat is known as Kalab-ul-Quran,
In which hijri Ghazwa-e-Badar was fought.
and many more …

And people with religion other than Islam, the interviewing officer might ask you some thing about your own beliefs so get yourself prepared. We have never encountered such situation so are unable to justify.


Current affairs
Important events occurred in Pakistan and at International scope during the few last years. Our foreign policy, current political standings, important activities happening all around the world.

Expected Questions:

We are unable to provide you a specimen this time as current affairs keep on changing and that is a reason they are known as current affairs. We apologize for your inconvenience


Abbreviations
Abbreviations are often asked at an ISSB Interview and some of them we found across our way can be found here. Click to view Abbreviations List

Boyfriend or Girlfriend, Sex related questions
This section will be covered some other time in a complete independent thread of its own where we will be answering you all concerned queries as well.


Important Note
Please keep in mind that the questions can be asked from other medium as well, this is to give you a rough picture that what actually is asked at an ISSB interview
