Questions
How is the 15 m PACER scored?
The score is the number of laps. The second miss, even if not in a row, ends the test.
What is the police bleep test?
It is the UK Police job-related fitness test on a 15 m course. The beeps get faster about every 50 s, and the test ends at level 5:4.
Is a 15 m score the same as a 20 m score?
No. A 15 m result is not the same as 20 m laps. Compare 15 m results only with other 15 m results.
