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

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.

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

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

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

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

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 👍

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

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

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 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!

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

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 ❤️

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 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.

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

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.

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

Thank You so much Fabziy. U’ve really calmed my nerves! I was so confused

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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!

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 this. I was nervous remembering the test from school but I can easily do that. Plus the pep talk at the end was nice.

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.

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

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

@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

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.

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.

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

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 !!

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

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

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

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

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

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!!!

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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 was insanely helpful. Thank you so much.

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

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

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

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

Thanks for the videos fabziy, Appreciate big time!

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 🙏

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

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

Colin was at my selection last Friday! He was cool and supportive

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

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

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

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

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

This was so helpful! Thank you :)

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

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

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 💪

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

Found this really helpful thank you for posting this

I got 11.6 in mine was well happy

READ TO PUT YOUR MIND TO REST!.. It’s honestly not the fitness tests that are difficult so do NOT worry about them! I’m a heavy type of guy and rarely ever run and managed to score a 7.7 only needing a bleep score of 6.6 for a driver role, people on the assessment with me chain smoked but were physically fit and managed 9+ on the bleep test.. I’d say practice your Cognitive tests if you want a certain trade as they require scores of 40 upwards to 60 and depending on how academically smart you are these you may struggle with. If you have no GCSE grades you will need to sit a very basic math and English test you have to be borderline brain dead to fail this.. The Medicine ball throw and mid thigh pull are a piece of piss not much to say in regards to them!.. You will smash it! A Medical GP will look at your entire life background however they are pretty lenient just be honest with them as they have every medical issue you have had dating back to when you was born!.. Seriously.. Lastly the interview! Prepare!. Know your CDRILS & values and standards. Along with Everything about the trade you are wanting to join. Where you go to basic training what the training consists of what you will learn in that trade!.. Learn everything about that job! The interviewer will strip you to pieces if you don’t! I hope this helped and good luck!

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

Had Colin test me at Pirbright, this video is 100% his claim to fam. Absolute superstar!

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?

i never did a bleep test before going to the assessment centre so i was worried but the bleep test is so easy, easier then the 2k, i got level 9 as my first time, do not be worried about it, it’s as hard as you make it

Fabziy runs and turns like a machine 👌

Saw Colin last couple of days. Awesome guy

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

Long legs and large lung capacity is always a bonus 👌🏽

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

Colin pushed me to 11.6! Legend!

I’ve literally been training for a run for months now they’ve told me I’m doing bleep test instead lol sucks

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

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