    I know if somebody applies for both the navy and army they only have to do one test but is it the same for the pdf and rdf?. I passed my test yesterday and just recieved another email for a fitness test on saturday. Noway am I paying another 50 for a doctor to stamp a piece of paper

    Thanks for the reply...so prehaps 2hrs or 3.5hrs...imagine it largely depends on the amount of show up on the day and how each individual test is managed resulting in a shorter or longer session. Have the push up/sit ups sorted but as i'd think it's the 2.4km run thats the real tester for many....

    Passed the fitness test about a month ago now. There's to be no communication for candidates who pass the fitness test until you receive an email with the link to the psychometric test on the week of April 23-28

    Can I ask, in terms of the push-ups: How do they make sure you're going down far enough - do you have to touch the trainer's fist on the ground or something? I can do 20 push-ups reasonably easy to about a 90 degree angle. Is that okay, yeah?

    When I did it they just watched and there needed to be a straight line from one elbow across your back to the other elbow. They also said if you needed to go lower.
