@@anthonyjamesreid I was invited to take the Pare test in 2 weeks and it’s been challenging for me since I am only 1,53m tall (5ft). But I hope I get it 🙌🏼
@@larissa7007 My recommendation is to pace yourself early. This helps to promote a similar time for your first and last lap. Most go out too fast, and have a big drop off near the last few laps. Best of luck!
@@anthonyjamesreid is there a email I can send a video of me jumping the 3ft obstacle to see if it legal to do like that since I use my feet on top of the jump to help it?
@@larissa7007 You are able to get over the 3' vault anyway you choose, including putting your feet on top. The only requirement is that you land on your feet, under control, before moving into the front/back fall. So, whatever you are doing should be just fine!
Hello, i just need clarification on one thing. You specified that we have to do a controlled fall after each lap but then said that equates to 3 falls in total. How is that possible? If we have to do 6 laps and fall upon each lap completion, doesn't that bring the total up to 6 falls instead of 3? Also, is this version what CBSA is still requesting, or did it change?
I’m a 5’ 40 kilo petite person who doesn’t really exercise much (I do stand and walk a lot at my job) but I would like to join. Do you think it’s worth practicing or i for sure won’t make it?
New version is essentially climbing a 5 feet fence and 500m running plus others. They are still testing the new physical requirement so no one knows how it's going to be like yet
Hello- you mentioned a “ modified PARE”, what are the requirements for someone to be considered for the modified test. I was under the belief that there was only one requirement for all- thanks for any info
There is no official 'modified PARE'. It is only mentioned as sometimes a shortened version is used when teaching my students. However, the 6-lap version is the official PARE required for the RCMP, CBSA, etc. The new fitness standard for the RCMP is set to be released soon. Stay tuned for details.
It's hard to tell in the video, but you are correct. During the push, muscular control must be demonstrated throughout the arcs (keeping both elbows bent at all times and refraining from bracing the elbows against the body). We'll see what changes are included in the updated test that is to be released in the new year!
Very well done. Thank you, it helped a lot!
I’m glad it was helpful. Good luck with your test.
best video so far!
Thanks, Larissa! Let me know if you have any questions.

Is there a facility I can practice this physical test in Brampton or Mississauga please?
Not sure if you still need this, but Sheridan college off Mclaughlin/Steeles in Brampton offers it!
Can I carry the 80 lb bag with one arm under, one arm above, then inter-locking my wrists? The bag will still be between my shoulder and my hip.
You can! As long as it is between your shoulders and hips, you are good to go.
The runner touches the vault bar for the front and back fall. I thought that touching the bar would cause a fault or time penalty?
You can’t use the bar to help yourself up. Touching it to get over is fine
Do you know if there somewhere in the gta/Hamilton area to practice this test?
The PARE testing/training at the link below operates out of Hamilton:

Hi, I'll be taking this soon I believe as I passed the SBSO interview and will be doing health checkups soon. Is this the exact test I'll have to do?
Nope, it was changed to a much more hardcore and intensive test as of May 2023

They no longer do PARE. it's a new system now (RCMP)
@@HxThomisonWhat do they use now? The site still says there is the PARE test
@@JustysFrank stand by frank. I'll let you know.
@@HxThomison Alright thank you

Any idea where in Calgary Alberta?
I’m not certain. My testing is based out of Hamilton, Ontario.
Okotoks offers them, Calgary Transit, Red deer college as well
@@braydens5224 where in Okotoks? WHo?
Can I attend a test run before scheduling the actual pare test?
We offer practice PARE sessions in addition to the full test: www.emergencyservicestraining.ca/services/pare/
Do you know if anyone in Calgary or area offers practice courses?
Sorry, I am not aware of testing out West. I work out of Southwestern Ontario.
I weight 120lbs how am I gonna pick up a 80LB bag …. (Petite woman) …..
Get strong
what happen if I fail? can I retake the test?
Absolutely. The test can be taken as many times as needed.
I will attend this test soon, is it really hard? I’m in good shape, goes to the gym and run often. Should I be worried?
If you are used to training with a relatively high heart rate, the PARE test should feel familiar.
You can't lock those arms out straight like the woman in the video is doing.
