How long do you have to wait to re-take the PT test if you fail? I've heard one year for failing the aptitude test. My testing is scheduled for next month. Hoping to get into R031!
and I don't feel like looking at the very many threads covering this topic?AoD71 said:Just curious: I am going for 031
oh, okay. Well, I would suggest you try to reach a level where you can do multiple sets of 50 reps. You want to be able to do 50 proper push-ups, rest 30 seconds, do another 50, and so on. There is no upper limit. To ace the Cooper's test, you want to be able to do a set of 50 without any issues. For sit-ups, go for 60. Pull-ups - 20. And you want to bench-press 240 lbs.AoD71 said:I HAVE looked for other posts, and I am NOT asking for basic requirements. I apologize for not being clear on that. I can easily meet basic reqs. but like I said, I'm going to 031. What would be an appropriate goals for an INFANTRY hopeful?? I've asked a recruiter, and they couldn't give me a straight answer. All I am asking for is a few numbers...

As well, you want to be able to run a mile in under 7 minutes or so. You want to be able to do 10 kms in 40 - 50 minutes. You want to be able to hump a 65 lb rucksack 10 km in just over an hour.
You can do all that, you will have no problems with any physical testing in the CF.
There's your goal.
AoD71 said:I believe those are the requirements for a perfect score on the Cooper's test, which is used by special forces worldwide. I also believe that there is a time limit of 2 minutes for the push ups/sit ups, if I am not mistaken. But I thank you for the answer all the same. Now, seeing as my bar is set ridiculously high, I might as well get cracking... like now. > Thanks again for the help.
