Hello everyone took my test today 05/02/2024. I passed . Everyone in the class did except for one person. I would say everyone was very much winded after the mile run so I would suggest working in cardio. I was scared about the monkey bars on the obstacle but I’m not gonna lie it was someone timing you and she was very encouraging and really was motivating us to keep pushing so I just kept pushing. The obstacle course wasn’t hard however because I was so winded from the run I literally finished at 1:59… overall if I can do it… you can do it, and I literally quit smoking like a week pior to taking the test soo just imagine how my lungs are …. You guys got this I promise you .
If you’re here about the agility test, it isn’t everything in this video. This is what you have to do in order to graduate the academy. The agility is the obstacle course in 2 mins, 10 pushups, 10 sit-ups, 1/2 mile in 4:30 and trigger pulls on a revolver. I just took the agility test today and passed. I’m a female who has no physical background besides preparing for this test so don’t stress yourself out like I did
hey I have the PAT on Thursday and the swim test tmr I'm a guy , but for the half mile its twice around the track ? and is the revolver unloaded all you do is pull the trigger x amount of times each time ? oh and how long is the test entirely ?
@@ilianaalvarado5321 Hey, no neither of them is timed. But you can't stop. For example, once any part of your body hits the floor during the pushups, you're disqualified.
@@Cc6ix9ine_ Hey, yes the half mile is twice around the track. The revolver is unloaded and you pull the trigger 24 times on your dominant hand and 18 on the other. Overall the test is like 20 minutes depending on how many people are testing that day.
Hey guys I just passed the PAT today! It’s definitely doable if you just push yourself- well for me personally, I PRAYED and Trusted GOD! 🙏🏾💪🏾💯 I’m 37, 5’06 and 222 lbs and I’ll say the monkey bars and the 0.5 mile run was the challenges for me. Most passed today just a few people failed who couldn’t clear that first wall and the run. We did the obstacle course first and the run after due to trying to beat the rain. Good Luck and You CAN DO IT!!
It’s actually very easy but because you do that run first, you’re absolutely drained by that time. I have asthma and out of all days today was the day it decided to show it’s ugly head, but I still passed thank God.
I passed it’s today it is really easy guys don’t let these videos discourage you ok 👌🏾 u got this my Group was 45 people and only 1 failed the obstacle course so that is over 98% completion rate just make sure u stretch and hydrate and eat light before attending
Knekiida Hicks this step is the initial requirement way far before academy comes in to play depending on what u are pursuing in law enforcement correctional officers only take cjbat/Physical abilities test no swim test now police officers take cjbat/swim test/ and physical abilities test pass those 3 qualifying for academy if u get accepted by a agency but this is the 1st 3 requirements
Just passed it today! Like some other comments said, it’s only the obstacle course (under 2:00), half mile in under 4:30, ten push ups on little button type thing which make it feel like half reps, ten sit-ups with your elbows going over your knees, then the trigger pulls. It wasn’t too bad at all. There was about 17 or 18 of us there, and only one failed the half mile part. Doing the swim test tomorrow! Good luck to everyone watching this video!
Just took it today. There’s four stages. 10 push-ups/ 10 sit-ups, trigger pull, half mile run under 4:30, and the obstacle course under 2 minutes. The push-ups were easy, there’s a little pressure plate that goes under your chest, the sit-ups were easy ( make sure your elbows go across your knees ), trigger pull is simple ( 24 shots dominant hand, 18 shots weak hand ). You have to pass these stages to move onto the track. It’s a half mile run under 4:30, my time was 4:17. After you pass those stages, you move onto the obstacle course. The instructors walk you through it prior to you running the course. It’s very simple, just take your time on the monkey bars, if your foot touches the ground you have to restart. Like I said, you have 2 minutes to complete it, my time was 1:46. I’m 6’2, 256 pounds. If I can do it, you can too. If you have any questions, I’ll try to answer them to the best of my ability, good luck!
@@dianamilenalove there’s 10 monkey bars I believe. If your foot touches the ground, you have to restart. So I recommend bending at the knees and using your weight to swing from bar to bar. It’s not hard at all. And no, there’s no pull ups. This is just the entrance exam to get into the academy, I believe there’s pull ups to pass the actual academy though
@@juanmejia1343 I work out very minimal, the only thing I suggest is to practice your push ups, and go for a jog a couple days before the test. A lot of people failed the run, I don’t want you to be one of them. Just get your cardio up a couple days before the test and you’ll be straight. Practice push ups as well, but not too much. You’re gonna need the upper body strength for the monkey bars, but don’t do so many that you’re gonna be sore on the day of the test
Just passed it today 10/26/23 and I looked at videos and comments, trying to get an idea as well as preparing myself for it. I ran a few nights a week and timed myself, push ups I never had a problem with, nor upper body strength. I’m in my late 30s now and not that active anymore, so I wouldn’t say it was a piece of cake, but dedication before scheduling your appointment is needed. I’m not good at running at all, however because of the practice I’ve been doing, I was able to run the half mile nonstop by just pacing myself and breathing. It’s not a race and they shout out the time so you have an idea where you are. At the end I surprised myself and pushed, passing 3 people. The obstacle course isn’t bad but I was still a little winded from the run, even with the rest we had but I completed it in 1 min 50 secs
Hey brother, I'm curious about your experience. I've been preparing for a while to take this test and my main fear is the half mile in under 4:30. How did you fare? Any advice? I'm in my mid-30s now, have good strength but I've never truly been a runner. Best of luck to you, thanks in advance
@@RikjaardI honestly surprised myself with the running. To prepare I went running at least 5 times a week and would just try to keep pushing myself more and more. It wasn’t as bad as I thought, just run and time yourself before. The instructor shouts the time out so you know how much time you have left to complete it. Good luck!
@@TashaSoLauderdale hey there! I've been in the process since October last year. First step is to sign up for your preliminary tests which are the CJBAT, Swim and physical (these two are done through Broward College). Once you've passed these tests, then you're able to begin applying for recruit openings, barring any pre-requisite you may be missing. Then you interview (that's where I am right now so I can't say anything further). Best of luck
So, I want to update everyone with this. I took this test about 2 days ago. I am 290lbs and 5'10. I wasnt sure if I was going to make it, but I gotta say that this is durable. the 1/2 mile run wasnt so bad and I'm overweight. Just go to your local park and run a lap and then walk a lap. What helped me was running with the group. I knew if they made it, I would. I started off running at a good speed in the beginning, so when I got tired almost toward the end, I pushed. The Obstacle course starts 15 mins after the run. I have NO EXPERIENCE with the monkey bars and I dont have good upperstrength, But I started two weeks before the test and did pushups every 2/3 days. I passed this exactly at 2:00. This wasn't so bad. This is coming from someone that is overweight, but I used to be athletic. You can do it. The only thing that we did not do was the log because it was wet and the candidate that went before me fell, so they cut that out. The pushups was half pushups and they have you count outloud. I wont say goodluck, all I would say is prepare like you would do with any test. Condition at least 2 weeks prior to testing and you're gonna be just fine. Only 1 person out of about 40 of us failed the 1/2 mile run. If you fail that, you arent allowed to move forward in the testing.
At 290 pounds you were able to do all the fence jumps and 6 foot wall jumps in under 2 minutes??? I’m asking because im 6’0 253 lbs and not very confident jumping
Hey man, I found your comment very helpful. I'm trying to get ready for the BAT as well, I'm comfortable with everything except the 4:30 run. I've been jogging around my neighborhood but I can't make the 4:30 mark. How was that on your end? I'm not in the best shape of my life but I'm working on getting back there and I really want to do this
@@MisterRecapHereYes Bro, you can do it! Trust me! Just when they call you name, go for it! Make sure you take water out there with you, you're gonna need it after the run and its allowed. But yes, at 290, I was able to get across the finish line. Its durable.
@@MisterRecapHere I feared this as well. I'm not sure about the gloves, no one wore gloves with my group. The Monkey bars have a good grip. Trust me, I did it.
An update to this agility test. There were rumors that you are allowed to skip one of the obstacles on the course. That’s not the case anymore, you have to complete every obstacle. The other exercises as in the run, trigger pulls, sit ups and push-ups are just as the other commenters have posted. Do some timed runs so you can condition yourself to running the 1/2 mile in under 4:30. Go to your local park and practice on the monkey bars. The people that failed either failed doing the bars or push-ups. You need a little upper body strength. It wasn’t hard but I do think you need a little conditioning to complete it successfully. Good luck!
@@stanbeauvais8888 yeah no pull-ups. They section off half of the pool lanes for the swim. So the deepest lane from where we started was like 6 feet or so and then it gets shallower. If you aren’t as comfortable with the swim then you can choose a shallow lane.
Took mine today 5/30/2024 I passed!!! If I can do it you can. Just run with the group and you’ll do fine. The obstacle course wasn’t bad but after the monkey bars, my arms kinda gave out..finish with time remaining YOU CAN DO IT GUYS!!!! 😊
Just did it this morning there’s no pull-ups it’s just 10 push-ups, 10 sit-ups, firing the revolver 24 times with dominant hand and 18 with non dominant. Then there’s the half mile run which has to be done in under 4:30, the obstacle course was pretty simple the 1st wall is 5ft not 6ft. My time was 1:28 a 100% score for the obstacle course is to finish at 1:20 or under good luck
I will be taking it tomorrow wish me luck. Will update when I'm done. I've worked out and cardio like a madman. Hope this helps The swim test worries me more. Tbh....(Update) 3/26/19 I passed guys.🤘🤘🤘. I believe everyone passed the obstacle course except maybe 1 person out of 20 guys. But they are very lenient which is a plus for all candidates. Good luck to who ever watches this. And the 1st wall is now 5 ft.
@@laynn104 For any one reading this. This is not the BMST required for entrance into the academy. This is the qualification test for when you are in the academy. The BMST includes (1) Trigger pull test (2) 10 non timed push ups (3) Broad jump (4) 1/2 mile run in 4 1/2 minutes (5) Complete all portions on obstacle course in under 2 minutes. There are short breaks between all tests while they are testing other applicants. Just passed mine last week, good luck to everyone!
@@davidgaboton8760 I just took it today and this is the deal, you have to complete the obstacle course in 2 minutes or less. Im an out of shape guy, I weigh 255, and i completed it in 1:45. But I straight up puked after lol, but again that's only cause I'm not in shape yet. Then once everyone has completed the obstacle course you get a 10 minute break and move onto the half mile run. Two laps around a track in 4:30 or less, I literally stumbled into the finish line at 4:27 lmfao. But yeah if you are athletically inclined and have decent stamina it should be no problem for you.
@@itschelsieee7734 honestly do a little of everything. Acclimate the body to running a mile or two. Expand your endurance. Also, if you can, practice scaling a wall. Learn how to leverage your weight and getting it up and over a wall. Some people didn’t pass that part and it’s the first obstacle in the course. Also don’t try and burn yourself out during the run. A passing time is a passing time. Don’t be a show off. Other than that, build up your endurance, see how it feels to scale a wall and stay light on your feet. I’m sure you’ll do well. Also, have questions in mind for agencies you would like to consider. Several agencies will be present and speak with you for possible employment. Look at union contracts, retirement multipliers, pay scale etc. good luck
Have you guys taken the CJBAT? If so i have a couple of questions regarding of the exam. Can someone email me coronachriss@yahoo.com Please and thank you
@@vwapatriyotla2322 it took about a month for them to reach back and about another month for them to schedule an interview and then about another month for the polygraph exam
@@DreBroChill wow because Coral Springs just emailed me after a week. I am still waiting on BSO. Coral springs pay more but i think BSO may be better. Thank you.
Not bad, but I think Lake technical college in Orlando Florida is a little better. I called the police academy in Orlando asking for the price and the man said $3,500.00 but when I asked Broward college they put me in hold for 10 minutes came back and still didn't know the tuition fee. Money is very important and you best to believe that's the first question a student will ask.
@@mikeify9187 that's correct. Which is why I highly recommend anyone preparing for the academy begin developing their back/upper body and pull-up strength immediately. Not only will it make you more posturally and bio mechanically sound, but the process is lengthy and requires consistency daily to get the first one in. But it pays in dividends because theyre an extremely beneficial exercise to develop for overall strength and greatly improve push up performance as well.
I have passed everything excluding the trigger pull with my weak hand -__-. does anyone know the exact revolver? I believe its a S&W but need model also so I can strengthen myself in that area.
Christina Perez hello a revolver usually has a 12 pound trigger pull!! There are plenty of finger and hand strengthening devices on Amazon you can acquire..... I also suggest you go to your local gun range rent a revolver and practice the trigger pull with it.......
When did you take your test? I took mine July of last year, it was easy although i got winded like after the monkey bars lol . I was suppose to take it two months ago since it expired, but they kept telling me to reschedule until finally they closed the testing down due to COVID-19. Now I just check everyday to see when the testing will reopen. There are some finger strengthening you can do, grab a ball and squeeze along with holding it a few seconds.
Hi there, been working out and trying to get ready to take the initial PAT. I'm comfortable with the push ups, sit ups, obstacle course, swimming.. All is good, but I'm having issues hitting the 4:30 mark on the half mile. Any advice?
I have this exam next week. My knee is kind of messed up. I ran 2 days ago and was able to run the half a mile under 4:30 mins. You think I should be fine for the obstacle? Im able to put weight on my knee and bend it. Any recommendations to get over that wall and do everything under 2 minutes with a sprained knee?
what is test like? I have lost 100 pounds because this is the career field I want to go into I am really good at cardio and im in shape now but im worried im going to struggle with monkey bars do you have to pass everything in obstacle course?
@@moutainbiker14 the test is easy I just got stuck in the parallel bars and it literally took me a minute on there. The hard part for me was the run but its doable. People underestimate that run. If you have been training you should be good. I would go for a practice before you take the actual test
@@moutainbiker14 to my knowledge yes and if you attempt something and don't pass it you have to keep trying. But with the 2 minutes given you really can't get stuck in any part of the course.
So im trying to be a cop in Margate FL and whenever i went there they told me i have to take a "Cjbat"test, a physical test as well as a swimming test. Once thats all done i can submit online for the Application. So my questions are, where does the Academy come into play and what order do i take those in as well as if its in Margate do i have to take the tests at the Broward Police Academy?
The Academy is after you've done those initial tests. Before the academy, you have to pass the cjbat, physical test, and swimming test then apply. You take the tests at the Broward College Davie Campus. Once you apply, you'll need to pass a polygraph, psychological exam, a background check, and a medical exam. If you pass everything I listed, only then will you be instructed on an academy date. As far as where the academy is, I'm not entirely sure but I would assume you'd attend the broward college academy.
Weezy swimming (not a race & it isn’t timed) you cannot stop only when you getting to the other side like 1-2 seconds and keep going you can swim whatever style you want I swam 1st on my chest and came back on my back swimming lol it was chilling just tight your pants good cause it wasn’t letting some people swim.
I passed my Cjbat, I’m really trying to do the PAT, but I just can’t find the time because of work, but I know I have to just find the time or request the day off that day so I can just do it.
Can anyone tell me where they went to get their medical clearance form signed? Every physician I go to says they are unable to sign and unable to test me for eligibility. Experiences?
I just took the cjbat test and passed now I’m gonna take the pat and swimming . I don’t know if swimming is required. I also don’t know where to apply to become an police officer or sherif I really want this my career. Please let me know what to do next thank you
Hey, you have to reach our to broward college by email. They put you on the list, and you’re good. Just need to bring the $5 money order, and have your physical from your doctor.
@@romans6193 this test is super easy. Don’t over think it. 10 push up 10 sit up. The running part is the hardest part. And i just ran everyday and did some push up here and there. That’s all
anybody have advice im worried about monkey bars? has anyone done any of the practice pat things? I recently lost 100 pounds to try and become a officer and I have good cardio so not worried about running
It’s not as hard as it looks guys, as long as you practice running a bit the rest will be pretty easy, on the obstacle course the only obstacle that held some people up was the monkey bars
Weezy I’m trying figure it out, because, my want to apply, but in application she has to submit, this test swimming and Fbat. So complicated I think. I’m almost done with nypd we didn’t have so Much test before Academy
@@kindergartencop7108 ok. This is difinetly not the test to get in, but its similar. I believe its 10 sit ups, 10 push ups , 1/2 miles run & the obstae course but the walls arent that high. They are 5 ft... Im applying for the sheriffs ofc. I have the paper at home. Ill let u know. But if you skim thru the comments ppl that took it said what was needed
@@kindergartencop7108 for the sheriffs ofc basic motor skills test: 10 push ups, 10 sit ups, 1/2 mile run in 4min 30 sec. Then u have 2 min to complete obstacle course. High wall (5 ft), ladder plateform ramp, fixed railing, chain link fence, window, door, fixed railing, maze, tunnel, overhead ladder, rope grid, log, parallel bar (4 & 1/2 ft) low window, pole run
Fabian Giron I'm sure you'll kill it. This guy is a freak hurdling and is about 5'8-510 so things look bigger than him. I'm taking it in the next 3 months plus you can skip either the 6ft wall or the monkey bars

I wont say goodluck, all I would say is prepare like you would do with any test. Condition at least 2 weeks prior to testing and you're gonna be just fine. Only 1 person out of about 40 of us failed the 1/2 mile run. If you fail that, you arent allowed to move forward in the testing.
At 290 pounds you were able to do all the fence jumps and 6 foot wall jumps in under 2 minutes??? I’m asking because im 6’0 253 lbs and not very confident jumping
Also do you think they would let me wear gloves? My hands get very sweaty?
Hey man, I found your comment very helpful. I'm trying to get ready for the BAT as well, I'm comfortable with everything except the 4:30 run. I've been jogging around my neighborhood but I can't make the 4:30 mark. How was that on your end? I'm not in the best shape of my life but I'm working on getting back there and I really want to do this
@@MisterRecapHereYes Bro, you can do it! Trust me! Just when they call you name, go for it! Make sure you take water out there with you, you're gonna need it after the run and its allowed. But yes, at 290, I was able to get across the finish line. Its durable.
@@MisterRecapHere I feared this as well. I'm not sure about the gloves, no one wore gloves with my group. The Monkey bars have a good grip. Trust me, I did it.
An update to this agility test. There were rumors that you are allowed to skip one of the obstacles on the course. That’s not the case anymore, you have to complete every obstacle. The other exercises as in the run, trigger pulls, sit ups and push-ups are just as the other commenters have posted. Do some timed runs so you can condition yourself to running the 1/2 mile in under 4:30. Go to your local park and practice on the monkey bars. The people that failed either failed doing the bars or push-ups. You need a little upper body strength. It wasn’t hard but I do think you need a little conditioning to complete it successfully. Good luck!
So no pull-up? And how deep is the swim 6ft -7ft? I know it’s 50 yards
@@stanbeauvais8888 yeah no pull-ups. They section off half of the pool lanes for the swim. So the deepest lane from where we started was like 6 feet or so and then it gets shallower. If you aren’t as comfortable with the swim then you can choose a shallow lane.
@@brandoncollins1529 ah, i thought it was an timed limit pushup not an exact # but thanks anymore updates as we speak???
U can't skip the monkey bars anymore????/ when did they change it
Took mine today 5/30/2024 I passed!!! If I can do it you can. Just run with the group and you’ll do fine. The obstacle course wasn’t bad but after the monkey bars, my arms kinda gave out..finish with time remaining YOU CAN DO IT GUYS!!!! 😊
CONGRATS!!! I take mine in 2 months is there still a 6ft wall? Or just the 5ft??
They don’t do the 6ft walls anymore only 5ft.
Was it everything shown in the video?
@@TheKae1234 okay thanx!!
Have you done the swim test yet?
Just did it this morning there’s no pull-ups it’s just 10 push-ups, 10 sit-ups, firing the revolver 24 times with dominant hand and 18 with non dominant. Then there’s the half mile run which has to be done in under 4:30, the obstacle course was pretty simple the 1st wall is 5ft not 6ft. My time was 1:28 a 100% score for the obstacle course is to finish at 1:20 or under good luck
Did you took the swim test?
Eduardo Rafael Cortés Mulero No I didn’t
So you finshed the ostacle course in 1:28 does that mean you have to try again? Did you apply for the sheriffs ofc?
Weezy yea I completed it in 1:28 I passed it. U have a total of 2 mins to complete it. And yea I applied I waiting to hear back 🙏
@@BUKETBOI1 ok thank you
I believe these are the ones you need to be able to do at the end of the Academy to be able to graduate, not for the inicial requirements.
do you know if I can skip the pushups and monkey bars and still be able to pass the exam?
KRISNTANK you can’t
I will be taking it tomorrow wish me luck. Will update when I'm done. I've worked out and cardio like a madman. Hope this helps
The swim test worries me more. Tbh....(Update) 3/26/19 I passed guys.🤘🤘🤘. I believe everyone passed the obstacle course except maybe 1 person out of 20 guys. But they are very lenient which is a plus for all candidates. Good luck to who ever watches this. And the 1st wall is now 5 ft.
Is this the exam to get into the Academy? I was wondering if this video is outdated or the info on the site is. Thank you for any help.
Did they allow you to skip certain parts like the monkey bars?
So you had to do pull ups and all?
Any women?
@@austinryba5936 This is a preliminary test, required for entry to the Academy.
@@laynn104 For any one reading this. This is not the BMST required for entrance into the academy. This is the qualification test for when you are in the academy. The BMST includes (1) Trigger pull test (2) 10 non timed push ups (3) Broad jump (4) 1/2 mile run in 4 1/2 minutes (5) Complete all portions on obstacle course in under 2 minutes. There are short breaks between all tests while they are testing other applicants. Just passed mine last week, good luck to everyone!
I’ve been extremely athletic my whole life but I’ve never been able to do 12 pull ups lol
Just passed this test last week. Good luck to everyone in the future 💪🏼
Is this the BMST ?
remi 870 yes
Do they really have you complete all of those exercises
@@davidgaboton8760 I just took it today and this is the deal, you have to complete the obstacle course in 2 minutes or less. Im an out of shape guy, I weigh 255, and i completed it in 1:45. But I straight up puked after lol, but again that's only cause I'm not in shape yet. Then once everyone has completed the obstacle course you get a 10 minute break and move onto the half mile run. Two laps around a track in 4:30 or less, I literally stumbled into the finish line at 4:27 lmfao. But yeah if you are athletically inclined and have decent stamina it should be no problem for you.
What about everything else in the video and is there a swim test
It’s easy it’s things we did as kids, all in one with a time limit
Reading the comments have motivated me. The video is a little intimidating.
Completed my own just a few days ago. Ran a 4:01 for the half mile. And the course in 1:37. Just pace and watch your head in the tunnel.
any advice or tips ? im trying to take my test in February
@@itschelsieee7734 honestly do a little of everything. Acclimate the body to running a mile or two. Expand your endurance. Also, if you can, practice scaling a wall. Learn how to leverage your weight and getting it up and over a wall. Some people didn’t pass that part and it’s the first obstacle in the course. Also don’t try and burn yourself out during the run. A passing time is a passing time. Don’t be a show off. Other than that, build up your endurance, see how it feels to scale a wall and stay light on your feet. I’m sure you’ll do well. Also, have questions in mind for agencies you would like to consider. Several agencies will be present and speak with you for possible employment. Look at union contracts, retirement multipliers, pay scale etc. good luck
Have you guys taken the CJBAT?
If so i have a couple of questions regarding of the exam. Can someone email me coronachriss@yahoo.com
Please and thank you
I just took this test today and it’s not as hard as it looks 👍🏽
Cardio was the worst part just passed mine. Are you hired yet? If so which department?
@@vwapatriyotla2322 yes cardio was probably the worst and I just got hired by BSO
@@DreBroChill great! How long after you applied to BSO did it take for them to write you?
@@vwapatriyotla2322 it took about a month for them to reach back and about another month for them to schedule an interview and then about another month for the polygraph exam
@@DreBroChill wow because Coral Springs just emailed me after a week. I am still waiting on BSO. Coral springs pay more but i think BSO may be better. Thank you.
I did the practice test today.. my only weak point was the dips. But a lot of people had troubles with the monkey bars.
Looks like fun. Would try it, even at my age.
Would I be allowed to wear gloves for the obstacle course? My hands get very sweaty and it makes it hard to grip
The only part that worries me is the monkey bars haven’t done that in years looks hard
Me too. I can hold my weight up for a minute on the bars but for some reason have a hard time swinging them over
So people that pass without prepping for it or physical shape how did ya manages the monkey bars or what if it can’t be done do they let you skip it ?
Hi, how you can practice the whole obstacle course before scheduling your test?
Yes
Do you have to do the running at the same time with the obstacle course
I have mine coming up but I’m worried about the monkey bars, my upper body strength not strong at all 😭
Same broo
I just passed the swim today and I’m doing the physical agility next week. Where are you now in the process?
Not bad, but I think Lake technical college in Orlando Florida is a little better. I called the police academy in Orlando asking for the price and the man said $3,500.00 but when I asked Broward college they put me in hold for 10 minutes came back and still didn't know the tuition fee. Money is very important and you best to believe that's the first question a student will ask.
are there pull ups? 😨
For everyone who did the test recently, how did you guys jump that 6 foot wall??
The wall is 5ft not 6, and they give you examples to get over it quickly
Parkour
made it look like cake
It was cake trust me i literally did it today
It is
I don’t think they make you do pull ups anymore
That's false.
@@KineticTraining actually you don't do them for the PAT course, but you do need to do them in the academy.
@@mikeify9187 that's correct. Which is why I highly recommend anyone preparing for the academy begin developing their back/upper body and pull-up strength immediately. Not only will it make you more posturally and bio mechanically sound, but the process is lengthy and requires consistency daily to get the first one in. But it pays in dividends because theyre an extremely beneficial exercise to develop for overall strength and greatly improve push up performance as well.
I have passed everything excluding the trigger pull with my weak hand -__-. does anyone know the exact revolver? I believe its a S&W but need model also so I can strengthen myself in that area.
Christina Perez hello a revolver usually has a 12 pound trigger pull!! There are plenty of finger and hand strengthening devices on Amazon you can acquire..... I also suggest you go to your local gun range rent a revolver and practice the trigger pull with it.......
When did you take your test? I took mine July of last year, it was easy although i got winded like after the monkey bars lol . I was suppose to take it two months ago since it expired, but they kept telling me to reschedule until finally they closed the testing down due to COVID-19. Now I just check everyday to see when the testing will reopen. There are some finger strengthening you can do, grab a ball and squeeze along with holding it a few seconds.
Considering Corections Department is the training similar?
Henry Martinez yes
Hi there, been working out and trying to get ready to take the initial PAT. I'm comfortable with the push ups, sit ups, obstacle course, swimming.. All is good, but I'm having issues hitting the 4:30 mark on the half mile. Any advice?
Pass it✊✊✊ under 1:12second
Lamar Curtis congratulations 💪🏾💪🏾
Quick question since you pass it, do you have to do all those pull ups?
Hi, did you take the swimming & shooting test
I have this test on Wednesday 🙏
Did you pass it? and it a 5ft or 6ft wall?
How did it go
@@LMills-zr3qi 5 ft. Yes I passed. It’s a very easy test.
@@BatMobile23 very easy test. A lot easier than you think.
@@Sicknxss thank you!
I have this exam next week. My knee is kind of messed up. I ran 2 days ago and was able to run the half a mile under 4:30 mins. You think I should be fine for the obstacle? Im able to put weight on my knee and bend it. Any recommendations to get over that wall and do everything under 2 minutes with a sprained knee?
Any update???? Id say if so work on like pushups and upper body
Get it checked out by a physician.
I’m going to the academy in April do I have to do this to become a sheriff? I’m from palm beach Florida
hey question im trying to get into BSO how long does it take for you to get an academy date after you pass the CJBAT PAT and swim test?
Didn't pass but will try again in another 2 weeks. Parallel bars got me. My arms were spaghettis after those mokey bars and push ups. My time 3:00min
what is test like? I have lost 100 pounds because this is the career field I want to go into I am really good at cardio and im in shape now but im worried im going to struggle with monkey bars do you have to pass everything in obstacle course?
@@moutainbiker14 the test is easy I just got stuck in the parallel bars and it literally took me a minute on there. The hard part for me was the run but its doable. People underestimate that run. If you have been training you should be good. I would go for a practice before you take the actual test
@@moutainbiker14 to my knowledge yes and if you attempt something and don't pass it you have to keep trying. But with the 2 minutes given you really can't get stuck in any part of the course.
Hi, did you take the swimming & shooting test
I heard your allowed to skip one part of the obstacle. Did they let you?
So im trying to be a cop in Margate FL and whenever i went there they told me i have to take a "Cjbat"test, a physical test as well as a swimming test. Once thats all done i can submit online for the Application. So my questions are, where does the Academy come into play and what order do i take those in as well as if its in Margate do i have to take the tests at the Broward Police Academy?
The Academy is after you've done those initial tests. Before the academy, you have to pass the cjbat, physical test, and swimming test then apply. You take the tests at the Broward College Davie Campus. Once you apply, you'll need to pass a polygraph, psychological exam, a background check, and a medical exam. If you pass everything I listed, only then will you be instructed on an academy date. As far as where the academy is, I'm not entirely sure but I would assume you'd attend the broward college academy.
@@joey4ish Very helpful, thank you.
I pass lol it was easy just believe in yourself
Did u apply for the sheriffs ofc or police? Did you take the shooting & swimming test
Weezy shooting test? I applied for bso! But due to that COV-19 they had to place our applications on hold :(
Hi, did you take the swimming & shooting test
Weezy swimming (not a race & it isn’t timed) you cannot stop only when you getting to the other side like 1-2 seconds and keep going you can swim whatever style you want I swam 1st on my chest and came back on my back swimming lol it was chilling just tight your pants good cause it wasn’t letting some people swim.
Weezy and I don’t think there is a shooting test
I passed my Cjbat, I’m really trying to do the PAT, but I just can’t find the time because of work, but I know I have to just find the time or request the day off that day so I can just do it.
Same here. I did the PAT at MIAMI DADE COLLEGE. But apparently most departments don't accept from them. Must be from Broward or City of Miami
@@kryptonite48 damn, good thing I did mine at Broward college
Hey bro do you know if the PAT and the basic motor skills test is the same thing ?? Trying to figure that out quick please reply if you can
Having issues with the monkey bars 😓
I can do this with no issues. Looks very easy ..
Looks good, but I worked with cops that would not make it in a john wayne bar room brawl
Does anyone know of a park that still has monkey bars?
Try doing monkey bars sideways!! It is a lot easier!! 100%
Can anyone tell me where they went to get their medical clearance form signed? Every physician I go to says they are unable to sign and unable to test me for eligibility. Experiences?
I went to my PCP. Primary care physician. Am located in Palm beach.
Where are you located?
Go to Dr. Jeff Spindler Associates MD. Took 30 mins and a few days for the blood/urine/drug test results.
I just took the cjbat test and passed now I’m gonna take the pat and swimming . I don’t know if swimming is required. I also don’t know where to apply to become an police officer or sherif I really want this my career. Please let me know what to do next thank you
Hey I’m literally in the same boat I take the PAT and swimming next month, check out police hiring non certified in broward county
Can one of you guys email me about the cjbat please? I got a couple of questions
coronachriss@yahoo.com
Is there any way to go practice at this course at any time you want or do you have to pay to practice?
Hey, you have to reach our to broward college by email. They put you on the list, and you’re good. Just need to bring the $5 money order, and have your physical from your doctor.
Tmrw 🔥

I pass this test 4 days ago. Super easy.
Did you do any specific training to prepare yourself for the test? How long did it take you to complete the course?
@@romans6193 this test is super easy. Don’t over think it. 10 push up 10 sit up. The running part is the hardest part.
And i just ran everyday and did some push up here and there. That’s all

@@romans6193 super easy. Stay with the group it’s only two laps
@@addison401 yea I’m gonna go test hopefully in 2 weeks figured I’d try a practice day first
anybody have advice im worried about monkey bars? has anyone done any of the practice pat things? I recently lost 100 pounds to try and become a officer and I have good cardio so not worried about running
I am doing the practice pat soon i suggest the same for you before you take the actual test
Dropfatjosh practice them so u know where your at
It’s not as hard as it looks guys, as long as you practice running a bit the rest will be pretty easy, on the obstacle course the only obstacle that held some people up was the monkey bars
Is this still the current requirements for BMST at Broward College?
Daviel Alvarez just go online and look at the test requirements. Look into the testing center.
Yes mostly. The wall has been lowered to 5 ft instead
Hello @Alexis Preston have you taken the test yet?? If so how was it??

So complicated I think. I’m almost done with nypd we didn’t have so Much test before Academy

Weezy thank you very much. I’m training her for good. She completed half marathon for 2 hours.
She can push up 30 reps but she can’t pull ups
@@kindergartencop7108 for the sheriffs ofc basic motor skills test: 10 push ups, 10 sit ups, 1/2 mile run in 4min 30 sec. Then u have 2 min to complete obstacle course.

This won't be easy 🚓
Fabian Giron I'm sure you'll kill it. This guy is a freak hurdling and is about 5'8-510 so things look bigger than him. I'm taking it in the next 3 months plus you can skip either the 6ft wall or the monkey bars

You MUST attempt every exercise on the test to the best of your ability. Fail or not there is no skipping.
