    The author has introduced the notions of pseudo-hyperplanes and pseudo-embeddings of a point-line geometry and proved that every generalized quadrangle of order \((s,t),\) \(2\leq s < \infty\), has a faithful pseudo-embedding [the author, Adv. Geom. 13, No. 1, 71--95 (2013; Zbl 1267.51002)]. Using the computer algebra system GAP, the author obtains in this paper a complete classification of all pseudo-hyper\-planes of a generalized quadrangle \(\mathcal Q\) of order \((3,t)\). By means of such classification, a list of all homogeneous pseudo-embeddings of \(\mathcal Q\) is provided. Also, new examples of tight sets and a complete classification of all \(2\)-ovoids of \(\mathcal Q\) are obtained.
