1.5 mile run test norms?

[stevenseq]

Hello all,

I have both the written and physical testing for the academy tommorow morning and was just curious as to what the normal 1.5 mile run times are at the high end and low end? Academy standards dictate that you must pass in 14 minutes or under, but I was just wondering what the majority of applicants achieve during this portion of the testing.

Thanks!

Varies on the applicants applying, and what their overall fitness is.

PA uses the Cooper Fitness Standards. You must score in the 30th percentile for your age range to get in and in the 50th percentile to get out.
