BEEP TEST Pass Or Fail | British Army Assessment Centre
Due to social distancing the Beep Test has been put in place to replace the 2km run (for now). Both are testing the same, your aerobic capacity, so you need to put the same work in and get the tick in the box. You will NOT do it in boots, I'm just proving a point to show you guys that it is easy and doable!
Hopes this eases your anxiety so you can smash it...
Good luck....Fabziy "One in All in"

Honestly the bleep test is really really clever. Doing it as a group you have people who are faster and slower, while you're also trying to make sure you pass too. It's really tempting to slow down with the slower ones, or speed up with the faster ones due to group mentality. It's not just a show of fitness, but also how disciplined and trusting you are of what you're experiencing and your own instinct. Maybe I'm over analysing but I think it's more than just a general test
You're spot on, it's a psychological thing, nobody wants to be at the back, but in reality it's not a race, nothing wrong with being at the back as long as you make it to the line in time with the next beep
@@DCO-3447 I don't like how you don't know when the beep comes 😦 What if you think you are going a decent speed but then it beeps before you get there?
@@rideout4575 when you’re not on time you can still continue by finishing to run to the line and then run to the other line. If you’re on time by the second line you can continue
@@corneesmit7205 oh that helps a lot 😂 thanks I was getting worried I might underestimate the beep 😂
@@rideout4575 you just get into the rythem, it gradually gets faster, as the beep gets faster you get faster. Plenty practice and it's nothing to worry about
Bro this is one of the most useful vids I’ve seen
I agree 😁
Glad it helped
Is it 15metres or 20metres?

@@Fabziy what app did you use plz , as want to see if I can get passed level 8 ? Many thanks
Honestly the speed didn't smash me, it was the stop and turn lol
It's horrible
Stop and turn always catches people out
Hey Colin was the PTI in charge of my group selection. Its cool seeing him again
Same here
Same here lads
Colins was there years back when I did the 1.5miler.
Nice to see the beep test is a warmup.
Me too
YeN what time was required for the 1.5 mile?
Two excellent pieces to camera; clear, concise and to the point. These vlogs just gets better...
8 minutes of the beep test and you pass infantry level.
Thought it was 8.6?
@@handsomesquidward5160 8.06
It’s 8.7 ffs. They tell you to aim for 9.0 though
@@tomkbullybully 8.7 score, but 8 minutes of the physical test
@@gillies7775 true, but you also don’t feel like it’s 8 mins. I know when I did it and got to level 9 I knew I’d passed, so my legs went a bit haha. I ended up passing on 9.3. So I’m happy
I’ve been watching your videos for almost a year now since I arrived in the UK to attend my assessment test. I should be booked for the beep test soon because I just did my SCT test. Thank you for all the informative videos. They motivate me and keep me pushing to be better. Hopefully I will get to meet you in person one day and say thank you.
Legit the only thing I'm stressing about but seeing this is such a confidence booster!!🤙🔥🇬🇧
Well that actually eased my nerves a bit thanks I’d never done a bleep test before so that’s really helpful thanks
Please don't be worried about the bleep test. I have to take one every year for work. I'm 49 years old. Im not the fittest but I do very light exercise on a regular basis, cycling, slow paced runs. I get well into level 9's and could easily go further. My son is looking towards a career in the military, he doesn't do much exercise and easily got to level 9. I'd rather do the bleep test than the distance run any day of the week. Its all about the timing, you don't want to be waiting at all. Absolutely love your vids Fabziy. You're a great role model for any young person who may face a personal struggle, you have integrity and selfless optimism.
Respect
I appreciate you saying that man, lifts some weight off the mind
My assessment is booked for the 4th September and I was nervous about the bleep test but seems to me that as long as you pace yourself and focus you'll be fine. This video has calmed my nerves so much and now I know what to focus on for the next few weeks! Hopfully will be joining into the RMP!
Done my bleep test today with Colin. His advice and encouragement got me through to a pass. Awesome, thanks staff. 👍🏻
@@NoName-ej2ne it's done in the same car park as he done it in

I've recently added shuttles into my work out between sets of push ups, sit ups and tricep dips as part of a circuit.

good luck mate, my next step is the assesment! Keep training
Hey same hope it goes well for you and same
@@liamminor4242how was the assessment ??
Hey Fabziy. Thankyou for taking the time to do this video. Will help myself and a lot of others who were worried about the bleep. Cheers Staff.
My pleasure!
I had Colin and the Irish fella a couple weeks ago during my AC Test. Got my date yesterday for my basic which is on 8th November. Cannot wait! You’ve helped me progress a lot to get to where I wanna be, appreciate it Fabziy ❤️
Best of luck!
This is brilliant. Im 33 and have just enlisted and to be honest i was really worried about it but you have definitely put me at ease. Thanks mate 👍 and a valiant effort
How's it going, pal?
I'm same just on May to assessment center now. Watching this helped
Glad to see I'm not the only one going in at a decent age!

Thanks for the video. It helped me relax before my acquired 8.8 today. Good luck to everyone who is preparing for theirs.
I’ve never done beep tests before as my school never did them so to see someone do it, in boots too, really helps me and puts me at ease with my application and tests.
This is a bit relief for me really. Thanks Sergeant. I feel the audio beep I use for my practice is kind of faster compared to the one used at Pirbright. I really appreciate. At least now I know what I am up against.
Glad to help💪
Pass my selection last week and smashed my pb on the bleep. My best before was 9.1 but got 10.9. I'm sure my adrenaline kick in and played apart, but got some great advice beforehand! Get you front foot onto the line at the bleep or as close before as possible and with out stopping spin round, using your weight to spring back and start your next leg. If you can time this right you never stop and can run slower. Also you are not using as much energy to accelerate of the line each time. Bleep test is a clever test 👍
How’s it going?
bleep test is trash
Nearly got yourself for the paras there
Thank you Fabziy. I am following this trading in my garden. Following your footsteps as you run. Working great for me in preparation for officers training. Thank you with your mate for doing this enjoyed the moral boosting. Ta
nice work on the narration, have a 4hr pre-fatigued test coming up in a week and this calmed my nervous a lot!
Got my fitness test from January, thanks for the videos.
Fantastic video yet again fabziy! Really putting my mind at ease ready for my assessment centre!
Best of luck!
Thanks for posting this, my Assessment Centre is on the 9th of June and the bleep test was a huge concern. I'm feeling a lot more confident now
Such a great channel. Really positive. Great ambassador for the British Army. Even got the V&S in there. It’s clear you live what you preach.
Thanks appreciate it, the comments speaks for itself...however some ppl fail to see.🙏🏽
Failed my fitness test last month because of the bleep test and not knowing how to pace myself - so I was literally sprinting at level 1 😂 need a 7.2 and got a level 6.0. However, since I have been practicing it for 6 weeks every other day, I have been able to get my level up to between level 9 and 10! Basically just keep practicing guys and you'll smash it
which core do you want to join?
I got 11.2 at the age of 14 thought that was normal and now i feel better lol
@@cookingwithcallum1904 QARANC (Queen Alexandra Royal Army Nursing Corps)
as long as you can pass the bleep test level 7.2 you should be fine. The tabs are easy but we have had a few recruits drop out because of injuries so the fitter you are the less likely you will get injured. Start conditioning your body to military fitness etc weight on your back and circuit training
Last time I did the test I got 6.1 and haven’t done it since then
I'm Joing on Sunday. Going into royal engineers. Your videos have been so helpful on these past weeks building up to my basic training. Thank you for all your extra work in helping us to prepare.
Great to hear! Appreciate the positive feedback! Wish you all the best!
That will be 'Her Majesties Corps of Royal Engineers' from here on in Recruit. Never forget the Capitals in the Corps name mate, or a beasting may come your way...... Just a tip from an Ex Sapper. Good luck, and work hard. The Engineers are one of the most respected Corps in the British Army, and for good reason!
@@macontheweb007 REspect fellow Sapper, UBIQUE 🤛💪
@@macontheweb007 What about reserves? I'm thinking of applying and trying to get into the Royal Engineers as a reservist..
Hi Fabziy this is great I have got my assessment coming up and I was nervous about doing the bleep test. My first test I got to level 5 so this has definitely helped. Thank you.
Awesome. Remember the other PTI staff while i was there for my assessment. Soo humble and always happy lad. It was fun talking to him.
💪
Got my reserves assessment on 4th Sept... this has helped me loads and shared it with the rest of the recruits at my Battery.
cool! how was it?
How'd it go
I've just done my assessment at Westbury and one tip is to rotate the leg you push off after each shuttle. Sharing the burden on both legs will help on those later stages. And of course, practice! Another thing is if you are worried about missing the beeps because of timing, when you are all running together you run in a herd motion and it helps keeping the time/ pace.
@@nothinggood2696 If you've never done the bleep test start incorporating it. Its not too much harder but its a different type of exercise. If you can do 2k you can do the bleep though
Thanks dude for the good work done it's really helpful to me....
I will surely find my way there. 🤗🇬🇭🇬🇭
Thanks for this. I was nervous remembering the test from school but I can easily do that.
Plus the pep talk at the end was nice.
back in 1980 when I had my fitness assessment test at Sutton Coldfield it comprised of sit ups, pull ups, and press ups that was it and we had a lot of class room tests on what information we could remember as we was told some information on our 1st day and we had to write it down in a classroom on the 3rd day plus other lessons, that was great fun
Went there in the 80 aswell had to do the bft and all the rest we should do a TV program and take some forty year old old sweats and put them in with some new recruits and compare
That’s a proper fitness assessment now you don’t do any of that but we have a generation of snowflakes now who can’t even do 5 pull ups or 40 press ups so the army have lowered their standards to suit the needs of the less fit to reach recruitment numbers
Remember those days at Sutton Coldfield.
Different sort of training back then, when you got completely beasted, runs were always in boots, BFT, CFT, plimsolls for the gym only.
Fond years serving with the
2bn Royal Green Jackets.
Fabziy keep up the good work.
Do I detect a slight Jamaican accent?
Just passed selection yesterday I had Collin for the fitness test and what a legend he was nice guy to talk to as well
Thank you so much. My son is going for the BEEP test at the end of this month, this will definitely put him at ease. Thanks bro.
Hope he passed!
I spent 20 in the army and was with hcr and did PCOY my god son wants to go to para reg and these videos are awesome, i was AIPT and all your vids will help me prepare, good work mate !!
Hey man, thanks for what you do. I'm waiting to hear for my date to go to the assessment centre and it's been so helpful to get the insight. Hopefully it wont be too much longer haha, I'm feeling ready
Same!
I’ve just applied for the army, I’m 28 years of age. I’ve got around 2/3 months before I have my assessment. I’m going to start training 3 days a week along with my usual powerlifting routine. I believe I can pass it as long as I keep it consistent. Consistency is key regardless of your age and regardless of your fitness level. Just train and don’t miss a day, challenge yourself every week and you’ll pass it.
Good luck my guy.. yeah consistency is key.. and try get some swimming in as well if you can.. good luck :)
Hey mate, should be around now your doing your assessment and just remember once you feel fucked you still have another 10-15 shuttles at least don’t stop until you hear the number you want to get
Blesss you,,, this has really helped me and many others out very very much🍃
Thank you this helped me a lot for when I went to the assessment center at glencorse and I passed I am waiting for my date to come to perbright to do my phase 1 basic training , such a stress relief watching you and the other staff because youse seem welcoming can’t wait to do my basic phase 1
It's nothing to be worried about. I did one in my late 20's and scored 9 point something after training but only 7.5 before training. Super-fit is generally defined as 10 or over, as in "athelete" but anything over 8 is very fit. Recovery rate was also tested after 2 minutes recovery as this also matters for an indication of cardio fitness.
Special forces and marines/paras are expected to be 10 plus which is incredible! Never managed that despite being very fit!
I remember the first time I ran the bleep test at home I got a level 6 which was really disappointing considering I wanted paras really bad. But after 3 months of training 5 days a week I manged to get 11.6 and got it again at the assessment center last December. Very important to run it loads as you will learn lots of technique which helps save up the energy. Also the best and fastest way to make gains in my opinion is to do long runs (5k or more) and hill sprints. I'm now hopefully going to do prac soon.
Also I just realised this is pirbright because Colin in this video oversaw my bleep test :) small world
Hi mate. I’m applying for paras aswell and I really need some tips on how to improve. I got to level 7 today. Anything will help
Now i know what to expect. Thanks for the video fabz🤜🏾🤛🏾
@Fabziy awesome video bro . So good to have u bk 👊. U made that look easy and in boots our unit did a bleep test early this yr I managed an 11.6 i was well happy with that
💪
got my assessment at lichfield 1st of september hopefully pass so i can join the RMREm to be honest this has helped me alot thanks for putting this up pal
I had mine at Lichfield last week and it was great the staff were so helpful and supportive was a great experience however the beds are uncomfortable 😅😎
@@UEF-Sawmill nice one pal. do you get to do a warm up stretches etc before the bleep test?
Good luck for today hope u pass 😊
@@UEF-Sawmill The break room was absolute chaos when i went back in feb lmao
I was really worried for the bleep test but luckily my PE teacher offered to help me train for the bleep test
Got my assessment center today, thank you for your videos there so useful
This was insanely helpful. Thank you so much.
I have just had selection this week for the reserves. I never trained for it which i should have but managed 7.3 on the beep test. Trust me people if you train for it you will pass with flying colours the other tests arent that bad for a 24 hour selection. When i first went in 2002 the selection was a lot harder.
Just want to say this video really helped me preparer for my assessment which was completed on the 10th of December at Lichfield. Hope everyone smashes it with their up and coming assessments!!!
good luck💪🏽
I was supposed to go then but sadly and thankfully I didn’t I probably would of failed it
@@wimpylegend2590 Sorry to hear you didn't make it. To be honest it wasn't as bad as I thought. At least 1-2 months of running training and I guarantee you'll do well if you reschedule mate.

Awesome video, very helpful for someone like me as I've been waiting for an Assessment Centre for months and there has been some confusion around weather I'll be doing a 2KM run or the bleep test. It's also calmed my nerves a bit as I've got my AC on the 6th and I've only recently found out that I've got to do the bleep test.
I've got my AC on 6th August mate. Where are u doing your AC? Mine is at Glencourse in Edinburgh. I'm just tryna find people that are going to same place at same day

Hi bro, smashed assessment because of this video today, thanks bro.
I went to the assessment centre a couple weeks ago and everyone I talked to was worrying about the bleep test. The mid thigh pull and medicine ball throw was absolute piss easy to pass and everyone that was medically fit to go onto the physical tests passed. The bleep test was also ALOT easier than everyone though. After we all did it everyone was saying how much easier it was then they thought it would be so literally don’t worry about it because it is probably easier than the 2km run
Did you do any practices at home before you went?

@@tmarshyyy161 Ah okay fair enough I'm not going for a while yet anyway cause of deferral but talk of bleep test becoming permanent is a bit 😬 seems a lot harder than 2km run
