Preparing for · Army
Army fitness: the bleep test still sets the pace.
Army entry is now assessed through the Role Fitness Test — runs, lifts and carries matched to your role. But the 20 metre bleep test is still everywhere in army life: unit PT, training establishments and self-assessment.

The requirement
What you're being asked to do
The bleep test maps directly onto the 2 km run standards used in the Role Fitness Test: push into double-figure levels and the running elements of selection will not be your problem.
Train with the call-out version so you always know the level you reached — then track it week on week.

Questions
Army test FAQs
Does the Army still run the bleep test?
Not as the formal entry test — that’s the Role Fitness Test. But it’s still used constantly in unit PT and training, and it’s the simplest way to build the aerobic base the RFT demands.
What level should I aim for?
There’s no official bleep-test pass mark any more. As a rule of thumb, comfortable double figures on the 20m test means the running standards won’t trouble you.
