I was wondering if anyone can answer this question for me. If you fail the run, are you considered for the next class (if there is one), or are you out of the process completely until the next test?
Thanks in advance.

Don't quote me on this, but I know for at least CSP if you fail the run you're out of the process. I'm sure it's the same for MSP as well.

Hope that helps. Good luck this week.

I was told if you fail the run that you will be not in the process for the 79th but remain on the list for a possible 80th RTT. A friend of mine in the 77th RTT told me guys who failed PT got another chance for the 78th RTT.

Didn't the last class have a makeup run a week later or so? Just run as hard as you can for the 6 laps and do the best you can.

I'm assuming it is going to be run on a outdoor course. (That's what the medical form states.) The run is 1.5 miles. Standard outdoor tracks are a 1/4 of a mile per lap.

4 and a half laps around the front entrance driveway is what they are considering 1.5 miles. I personally do not think it was a mile and a half but if they say it is I'll agree. They said that if you failed the run today, but missed it by a minute or less than they will have a retake on Wednesday, if you missed it by say 3 minutes they said don't waste your time coming back. Qualifying time for males 20-29 was 12:25 Males 30-39 12:51 Females 20-29 14:29 I believe

Do you think it is more or less than 1.5? Or shall I say "Feel" it was more or less.

What exactly is the State Police PAT test? Is it just a 1.5 mile run or is it a run with obstacle courses. I know some PAT that I took had running, pushups and situps?

Any reason they don't state the time limit on the letter they sent out for the 95's? It just says pass/fail.
12:51 for 1.5 is around 8 min mile pace which is pretty fast.
