I have a PT test for a Police Department coming up Thursday the 18th. I'm a 29 year old dude whos been lifting and doing jiu-jitsu most of my life. I need some advice in order to maximize my chances of crushing this test. These are the standards I have to meet:
29 Push ups
38 Bent knee sit ups in 1 minute or less
1.5 mile run in 12:38 or less
The push ups are no problem whatsoever. I can drop and do 40-50 no problem. The sit ups I am just BARELY passing. I can do sets of 60 or so sit ups no problem but doing it in 1 minute or less is a problem. My form goes to shit and I feel like I am just throwing myself around.
The 1.5 mile run I also just BARELY made. I ran it yesterday and did it in 12:19.
I am scared /fit. How can I train my weak points to dominate this test before the 18th?

Eat more donut. That'll increase your chance.
In all seriousness, you have few days left. Just make sure your body have enough rest.

Just half-ass the sit ups.

This OP. I don't think they'll check up on it very closely. They're probably not used to policing things.
>>
>>41434809
You don't need to dominate it. You can already do all this stuff, so what are you complaining about?
>>
It is graded so that my shoulder blades need to touch the ground and my elbows need to pass my knees in the bent position. Its atrocious form but that's what they require so I have to do it. No way to half ass that

My concern is that I am just barely passing. When I make it to the interviews they are going to look for those who made it far beyond the minimum standard

This is false. Most people interviewing won't make it past the physical test. At that point, you just need to have a good interview.

The interview I will be perfectly fine in. I am well prepared. I guess I just want to be an extraordinary candidate and I am looking for advice to help me get there.

How did I not think of this before

>>41434809
>29 push-ups
>38 sit-ups
>roughly 8:30 mile
God damn those are some shit standards.
>>
>>41434809
You have 4 days, there's nothing you can do to improve your scores in any meaningful way. Just make sure you drink tons of water in the next couple of days and carb up the night before. Good luck.

You're applying for Phoenix PD aren't you?
I'm trying to do the same but I'm not gonna be ready for their May test, maybe their June, but defiantly July.

Negative. These are the cooper standards so most departments use these as the entrance standard for the academy
>>
>>41435823
These are to make sure you don't die in the academy during training, not for cops out on patrol

ITT: cops are fucking fat fucks
youre fucking disgraces the lot of you

Well you fucked up posting that close to a deadline.
All you can do is eat right and decide how bad you want to pass. You arent far off fron passing. If you want it bad enough youll push through when your dick is on the chopping block.
Or you can fail and get fucked and reap what you sow.
