BEEP TEST Pass Or Fail | British Army Assessment Centre 

Honestly the speed didn't smash me, it was the stop and turn lol

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

Bro this is one of the most useful vids I’ve seen

Two excellent pieces to camera; clear, concise and to the point. These vlogs just gets better...

Hey Colin was the PTI in charge of my group selection. Its cool seeing him again

Legit the only thing I'm stressing about but seeing this is such a confidence booster!!🤙🔥🇬🇧

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.

Well that actually eased my nerves a bit thanks I’d never done a bleep test before so that’s really helpful thanks

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.

Done my bleep test today with Colin. His advice and encouragement got me through to a pass. Awesome, thanks staff. 👍🏻

Thanks for the video. It helped me relax before my acquired 8.8 today. Good luck to everyone who is preparing for theirs.

nice work on the narration, have a 4hr pre-fatigued test coming up in a week and this calmed my nervous a lot!

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!

Fantastic video yet again fabziy! Really putting my mind at ease ready for my assessment centre!

this video has giving me so much relief as I have not long applied for the army

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

Just passed selection today. Had Colin for all the fitness tests, he was very helpful and reassuring. Thanks staff!👍

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.

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

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.

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 ❤️

8 minutes of the beep test and you pass infantry level.

@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

Blesss you,,, this has really helped me and many others out very very much🍃

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

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.

Once again brilliant video.. love it when that notification pings and i can chill and watch the vids.. much love fabz

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.

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.

Got my fitness test from January, thanks for the videos.

Love your videos, I watch them every morning before I got for my run 🏃‍♂️ hoping to get in the paras this year.

Now i know what to expect. Thanks for the video fabz🤜🏾🤛🏾

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 👍

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

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.

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.

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

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

Thanks for that video fabziy look pretty easy thou looking forward to the challenge 👍

Such a useful video I use this for my practice as not only does it have the beep test the footsteps help me pace myself with him such a great guy and content

Got my reserves assessment on 4th Sept... this has helped me loads and shared it with the rest of the recruits at my Battery.

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.

Thanks for the videos fabziy, Appreciate big time!

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.

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.

Just passed selection yesterday I had Collin for the fitness test and what a legend he was nice guy to talk to as well

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

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 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 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

Got my assessment center today, thank you for your videos there so useful

wow..that's very helpful got an assessment next year after 1 year of waiting so excited 👍👍👍👍👍👍💪

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.

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!

This was insanely helpful. Thank you so 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

I was really worried for the bleep test but luckily my PE teacher offered to help me train for the bleep test

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.

This was so helpful! Thank you :)

Thank you so much for this it’s really helpful!

I'll be seeing you October 4th when I start basic training. Peace ✌️ Anyone else starting on the 4th of October like me?

This is so helpful!! I’ve got my assessment next month, I managed to get to 8.7!! Thank you so much!!!xx

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 !!

Found this really helpful thank you for posting this

Was hoping you would keep going haha just to see how intense para level is. I have no doubts you could smash level 11.6 💪

We did the bleep test twice a year at school; good way to check your level of fitness. I always failed majorly 😂😂😂

Thanks for the video. I'm booked in for selection next month

Filled out my application today im excited but also very nervous lol great video very helpful

Got my assessment at Glencorse on 21st August. Can’t wait.

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!!!

I have my assessment at Pirbright tomorrow and this has been a great help keep up the good work

Thanks fabziy ,I got 7 first time a couple days ago and I watched this for a bit of confidence and I got to 10.2 second time I didn’t understand that a lot of it is staying calm and keeping your pace ,much appreciated

This really helped because I failed my first attempt at the AC because I was already rushing at level 1 so It was already hard at level 5 but now I learned to relax at the start I am achieving what I need

My son has his selection on the 8 May, just watching this to get him ready

Excellent video as per usual Fabziy! And has definitely made me less nervous about changing from the 2km to bleep test, I'll be giving it a go tomorrow morning for sure !!!

Saw Colin last couple of days. Awesome guy

Met Colin today and he took me through the physical tests. Nice guy. Also luckily the rain stopped and sun came out slightly when I did my bleep tests 😄 but others did in the rain. Also got the level for para(reserves) thankfully 🙏

You’re Para/Commando trained, have you not thought about trying the STA Patrols course 4/73 Bty

Hi bro, smashed assessment because of this video today, thanks bro.

Thanks for the videos was able to pass my assessment centre with flying colours due to your videos,Infantary level passed I got 9.3 appreciate the videos

In a couple of years im going to apply for catterick and I’m 5 hours away from it so that’ll be a “fun” journey

did my assessment a few months ago when it just re opened. tips i have practice the beep test. it’s as much technique as it is fitness

This video was really helpful i have my assessment for the infantry today and tomorrow i was really nervous about the deep test but after watching this video doesn't seem to bad

Good content as always matey

Changed to a bleep test I use to do that in school during pe when they wanted to torture us but I got to level 5 when I was 5 stone over weight now I’m 10 st imagine what I’d get now great videos though I love getting the insight to help me out

I got to 13.2 on my PRMC and I eventually got to level 15.3 those 2 and one I did in school where I got 8.6 are the only 3 bleep tests I ever did

Such a useful video thank you ! .

I had Colin on my assessment, great guy!

Should be cable of doing 7.2. I'm hoping to get my assessment date soon ,so I'll be smashing the runs and sprints, to get best I can and pass required standards. Hopefully joining the REME or Royal Engineers

I did the BEEP Test a few times in P.E during secondary school 🏃🏼‍♂️🏃🏼‍♀️

Great video thanks for doing this

Top bloke thanks Fabziy continue the good works yea

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

I was lucky to do mine in January, I preferred the 2km run, thankfully passed para standard at the centre but, I was absolutely bricking it for the 2km run but positive mind set to anyone whose worrying and you’ll smash 👍🏻

Thanks for this, I’ve been quite nervous about it

Top Effort Sir in boots. My Family and myself would like to thank you for your service Gentlemen. ATB Reeco

Fabziy on the bleep test what is the requirement needed now for the RA (Royal Artillery ) because in my day in the RA we didn't have these Bleep tests,all we had was the basic fitness assessment at Sutton Coldfield for 3 days and on the 4th day we was sent straight to our training depots/bararcks, depending on what you chose to join from the list of army branches you were given from the score of all your tests, and the higher your score the more options/choices you had, I chose the RA and I had the Paras on my list and had I chose to join the Paras I would have been sent home for 6 weeks on full pay, but I was so eager to get my army training and army life started I chose something that was accepting a new intake immediately, and as it worked out I travelled to Woolwich Arsenal and we was put in to a holding troop because the living quarters we was going to be occupying for 14 weeks was still being used by the recruits on their final week training which was just practicing their passing out parade, i did get back squaded (as they called it back in 1980) as I underwent two surgical procedures in my first month of training and was sent home on sick leave on both occasions, I had completed up to week 3 so it was from week 4,as my 2nd operation followed straight after returning to barracks after my first spell of sick leave as the 1st operation wasn't a success, and the operation I had was the same one i had in civvy street 3 weeks prior to my reporting for duty date and all my hospital notes had to accompany me to my training so that I could hand it in to the medics so the drs could see what I had done and sent me up to the Military hospital for a check up where the surgeon found I needed an operation straight away as even my first operation in civvy street hadn't even worked, but I eventually passed out in blazing hot sunshine, it was so hot that a couple of the lads actually passed out even one of the officers taking the pass out parade passed out because it was that hot and in the end our parade had to be cut short by 20 mins for safety reasons,

Hi. Many moons ago I was an ACCI in the Army. I’m now 62 and need to get 8.8 to be a Retained Fireman. I know I’m old and out of shape, but was gutted to only get 2.4 on my first attempt. Which bleep test are you using?

Really appreciate you sharing this.

Hey Collins .Wonderful block.on my selection at pirbright 7years ago.
