POPAT Practice Test (

[@Paul-wu7xd]

TRUST ME...he's making it look really easy, otherwise it's very difficult. It's clear, he's in really good shape.

[@raymondwade2433]

Amazing performance. I’ll be doing the POPAT next month as part of my annual in service training. My last time, 2023, was 3:29. I’ll be 59 years old soon. Train hard!

3:29 at 59 years old is fantastic!

I passed my test just last week Tuesday this video helped me a lot

[@rlconditioning]

Awesome! Congratulations :)

[@ericsavellano]

Are the obstacles similar in the Richmond Oval POPAT Test or different? Thanks👍

[@rlconditioning]

Sorry for the late reply, I don't always check the comments. The obstacles are similar between us and the Oval, although the stairs there have no hand rails.

can u do a video on the sit and reach test marc. i like your vids.

[@aaron2001911]

You are doing really good , just one thing I am not sure about is that I think you are not supposed to touch the handles of the stairs. I could be wrong.

[@marc-jasonlocquiao6059]

Thanks Aaron, appreciate the comment. Regarding the stairs, though, you are allowed to use it. It’s a safety thing as well.

[@aaron2001911]

@@marc-jasonlocquiao6059 Thank you for the response. I just saw that rule on a KZbin channel which explains the whole route step by step. It seems like an really old video.

@@aaron2001911 stairs are definitely allowed, can confirm. Just completed this part of the process.

[@jascheema4611]

If u pass in less time it gives you any advantage on your application??? please tell me

[@rlconditioning]

Depends on the agency. Some like competitive times (ie 3:30 or faster for the POAPT), some want their candidates to have some buffer room with their times. Overall, though, they will consider you as a whole and not solely on your time. Best thing you can do during your physical test is show that you're doing your best and that you're genuinely supporting the other candidates.

[@sarahosborne7477]

What is the difference between Popat and pare?

[@rlconditioning]

Major differences are the time requirements to pass, different stairs, a one foot difference in mat jump (POPAT is longer), and the vault is the final station in the POPAT, not part of the course like the PARE. Rules are also different for the machine (easier for the PARE).

[@matthewtobin7000]

Last arc on the push was iffy at best :/

[@manveerdhillon1210]

Isn’t it like you shouldn’t miss any stairs. Saw him skip some every-time.

[@rlconditioning]

You’re allowed to skip steps in the POPAT. You’re probably thinking the COPAT, where they want you touching every step.

[@erikbailey2525]

You need to hit at least one step going up, one at the top, and at least one going down each way.

[@marcgosselin945]

That's fast
