Fitness Test

[D-n-A]

The CF Express test is graduated by gender and age:

For example, I am a 31 years old male. I require stage 6 to pass on the shuttle run and 8.5 to exempt. 19 push ups consecutively, and 19 sit ups in one minute. To pass I would also require a combined score of 75 on the grip test.

For a 20 year old male its the same, except to be exempt from the shuttle run for a year, your have to get to stage 10 on the shuttle/beep test.

I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get the test used by the CF... I bought a beep test from a UK website but its nto the same one we use in school and I assume the same one the CF uses.

What do you mean by exempt? if you get a high score you dont get retested in a year/month etc?

Yup.  An exemption excuses you from doing the test the following reporting period.  Generally one year depending on when you did the test in the reporting period prior.

Three links if you're looking for a download of the beep/bleep test cadence:
(by the way - I finally found out why they wouldn't just give me a copy at work ... liability ... sigh ... life was much simpler in the good old days ...)

About the exemption,
if you get exempt level for your age group you are not suppose to have to do it the following year,
however if you get exemp, at yor basic expect to do the express test again at your sq
and ql3 course or battleschool if you are combat arms,
just figured should tell you

Nowhere does it say that you are NOT SUPPOSED to do the test the following year.  You achieve an Exempt on your CF Expres Test and you are 'officially' not required to do it the next year, but most people still do.  Most people, especially the really fit ones, strive to get Exempt every year as a "Badge of Honour".
