That means you’ll be running for a total of 6 minutes and 51 seconds getting progressively faster at every level. You’ll have to reach at least level 7.5 on your beep test. The majority of these officers go into the test with limited physical preparation, and still pass quite comfortably. That is not to say we should be hiring less police officers, but the reality is that a bleep test level of 5.4 is not particularly hard to reach. It can be difficult to pace yourself properly, and even though the test to level 7.5 – which needs to be reached if you want to pass Army standard – only take you 6 minutes and 30 seconds, it can be draining.

Is 7.5 on the beep test hard?Īnd why do you need to train? The simple truth is that without any practice, the Beep Test is incredibly tough. It is the equivalent of running at 5.5mph for 3 and a half minutes.

To reach a level of 5.4 in the bleep test requires very little preparation. Simply put, the test needs to be more rigorous.

Then, as the beeps hasten and the time it takes you to get from point to point shortens, your effort increases. You might run out to the point, then jog back and have a beat or two to rest before going again. HOW DIFFICULT IS IT? Your pace is easy in the beginning.
