Been doing this outside with no measuring tape, was measuring by the one long step = 1m rule. Have been struggling when getting to level 4 & 5. Turns out the 1m step rule was broken and i was actually measuring around 17-18m. Just done this at my local sports hall measuring 15m with a tape measure and passed 5.4 pretty easy. I was pretty overweight before i started getting ready for this, daily runs and bleep test once or twice a week really helped. I do recommend the 5k app for helping ya run further. Pushes you slightly more on each run.
I’ve got a practice test tommrow but I’m really worried as I’ve not practiced, I only had the final interview a week ago and they didn’t give us much notice on when the bleep test will be! Real ones on 9th may
When you put your application in you should have started training. They’re under no obligation to delay their recruitment because you haven’t trained. If you passed this time well done, if you didn’t then training starts now for next time.
Just a query on the 25% 9 shuttles rest ect What rest time would you recommend And is it just continuous shuttles or is it to a beep or certain pace? Thank you im taking a fitness test in about 4 weeks time :)
I took my first attempt at the bleep test yesterday, but unfortunately I missed the target by 45 seconds, which is the best app to use for the bleep test?
@@memebo1922 Same, I nearly fell off my chair. I get that the average person on the street who does no exercise probably couldn't do it. But if you're applying for the police I'm gonna assume you have some base level of fitness. I'm not mega mega fit, but I can get to 11!
It's such a joke of a test I'm a reservist in the RAF and at 38 I HAVE to score level 9 on a 20m bleep I normally get around 9.5-10 as its a best effort test
Well yeh, you’re doing the full bleep test. This 5.4 is for standard recruits. It gets higher for those doing specialist roles such as riots and then the highest is firearms which I believe to be 9.6
That is nonsense. Then I guess nobody should be a driver or have any kind of jobs because tests and interviews can naturally make people nervous. When he is talking about anxiety about the beep test he means the feeling of wondering if you are gonna pass or fail. Everybody and anybody can get that. It does not mean they are not qualified for the job.

@@idankcai7787 but police are not just there to fight criminals? They have lots of different roles like crowd patrol, catching up with businesses like schools and old folks homes and churches to make sure their security and such is all up to date and they have relevant information and advice. They are there to support people, help them out of bad situations, to keep them safe and make better decisions. They make sure people are driving safely and that they keep their car information and MOT up to date. They support people that have lost loved ones and pass on the news. What you are saying isn't reality. Reality is that people get nervous for tests. It is perfectly natural and as I said before... it does not mean they aren't qualified for the job. What is that timid police officer ended up being the most compassionate and therfor the best worker to have for supporting families and people that have lost loved ones? What if he or she was the best at driving and catching up with speeders? And who's to say that their confidence won't grow on the job? What you are saying is like saying that teachers shouldn't be teachers unless they know the answer to everything and have knowledge of the whole world. It is like saying an actor shouldn't be an actor because they have anxiety talking infront of crowds of people. Its like saying a person can't be a chef or a cook because they burnt the toast that one time. People have different anxieties and different ways of dealing with situations. What if the person that had anxiety over a physical test ended up having really good social skills and was able to talk the criminal into putting on the handcuffs themselves? You don't know. It doesn't make people snowflakes. It makes them NORMAL
I just did my 2nd annual military fitness test and these tips were helpful to mitigate feelings of anxiety last night
Thank you for this, i literally just started tonight with my training for the bleep test. Loads of good info here 👍
Any luck?

Aren't you supposed to say "Here! I want a word with you!" as you run from one end to the other?
Watching this as I'm about to start a policing degree
Just a query on the 25% 9 shuttles rest ect
What rest time would you recommend
And is it just continuous shuttles or is it to a beep or certain pace?
Thank you im taking a fitness test in about 4 weeks time :)
that 1.5% tip is an eye opener, i could run 5k on treadmill but when i tried running on the street i was done after 5 minutes.
Is it just the beep test you have to complete? Nothing else?
No
@@sahilzakariya2986 what do you have to do ?
@Alexei Smirnoff not anymore buddy. bleep test only 👍
@Alexei Smirnoff it was removed due to the unfair differences between disability and gender

No anxiety and adrenaline will come in ur favour
5.4 is a low bar to entry that’s not really fit at all. Should up that a bit.
How to pass police fitness test
Slightly jog for 3.5 minutes....
level 5.4, couldnt believe it when he said that.

Specialist firearms 10.5
@Brushgrass1979 it's still 15m not 20m so it's still pretty easy
@@justabloke2966 Think you'll find firearms is 7.6
Please you share the bleep test app link for iPhone urgently
🐉
It can't just be a bleep test right ?.
From what I’ve read, I think it is.
There is also a push pull test.
used to be push/pull and BT. Now it's just BT for HO forces.
@@ChrisWFCammack yes! They’ve scrapped the push/pull test and no longer use it :)
The fitness test for the police is a joke, if you can't pass it you should seriously take a look at yourself
A Police officer with a nose stud? Standards really are slipping!
If you get anxiety from a fitness test you shouldn't even be applying/in the police.
