POC Points theory

Got bored so thought I would do a bit of math :) I've been told that a total of 400 points is available on POC, 180 being needed to pass. Four exercises (bleep test,pull,press, and sit-up ) = 400 points so in theory one exercise has a maximum mark of 100 points. Max score for bleep test: 15.5 Max fo...

Fartlek http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fartlek Interval http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_training Hillsprints, you should start off doing ten of them, carry on doing it the way you are (sprint up, jog down) and gradually increase the reps over time. You will get terrrible DOMs doing hill sprints ...

Ideally you should run for time not distance, ie. start running for 20 mins at low intensity the gradually increase to high intensity until fail which will probably take a few months, by then the pre joining running tests should be a doddle. To improve press ups and that, its best to just hit the gy...

Would a stint in the RMR after A-levels give me the same chance as a graduate entry recruit?

Because I don't think I could afford tuition fees, and I'm not up for getting into debt when I'm 17.

A-levels or Uni degree?

I was just wondering, would my chances of getting accepted onto the intake for officers differ if I had a Degree or A-levels?

Basically. am I more likely to get accepted if i have a Uni degree ? Or is it more about how I perform in POC and AIB?

Cheerss.

UCAS Points

The requirement for an officer is 180 UCAS points.

I was just wondering, if I got a degree in sayyy... Physical Chemistry. Would these UCAS points become unimportant ?
