Police JRFT (Bleep Test)

[HannahLouD]

Hello :)

Does anyone have any experience doing the Bleep Test for the Police? (15m shuttle runs to level 5.4).
I have my test next week and know I can JUST about reach level 7 (I only started "training" 3 weeks ago after doing basically no exercise for the past 7ish years 🫣 so I know it's not an amazing score!)
My question is - does the test stop when you reach level 5.4? Or do you just keep on going until you can't run anymore/no longer make the lines? I guess I'm just wondering if I should be aiming for a PB on the day, or to just complete it and pass?

Thank you! :)

DD1 did this test in the summer.

Once they reached the necessary level to pass the instructor blew a whistle and told everyone they could stop running. There was no need to keep going once you reach the pass level.

Fantastic! Thanks so much for the info - that's really good to know. Puts my mind at ease as well as I know I can definitely get to 5.4 :)
I just didn't want to "look bad" by dropping out around level 7 if others were going to be running above and beyond that!
Will keep on training up until the day though and beyond as actually really enjoying getting back into running! May sound terrible, but it also means it's some time to myself away from the little ones for 20 mins/half an hour every couple of days where I don't feel bad as I know I'm spending the time doing something that's good for me 😅

Good luck!
