Agility test

Posted on Friday 27 July 2007

Agility or physical fitness tests are part of just about every selection process. If you want to become an officer you must be in shape and be able to pass the test. What can you expect? A safe answer is just about anything. These are some of the tests that you may be subject to.


  1. Pushups
  2. Sit-ups
  3. Squat Thrusts
  4. Running anywhere from a hundred yards to over 1.5 miles
  5. Flexibility
  6. Weight lifting a percentage of body weight
  7. Swimming

The tests are designed to see if you can perform the essential functions of the job. Most agencies will specify what exactly will be expected of you. Therefore, it is important to get this information so that you may prepare for the test. Many times you only get one chance to pass.

Want some motivation? Imagine not getting a job you really want because you can only do 24 sit-ups when 25 are required. MAKE SURE YOU CAN DO WHAT IS EXPECTED. Start training now for test day and you will be successful.

    I can do 63 pushups in two minutes, 87 situps in two minutes and run two miles in 15:09. However, I cannot swim that fast. In fact, I can do no more than float. I exceed Army Standards, but what about the rest? Are these timed events and for how long?

    Thanks.
