I would have thought that anyone attempting PRMC for the second time would be as fit as a fiddle and smoke it! Guess not...

As for people passing PRMC, do you think that most of the people freqenting these boards and getting info off of them has helped them to pass? Or do people who are on the boards have the same failing rate as people who just take a crack at it with the info given to them through the AFCO? I'm asking because it seems that the majority of people one this board attempting PRMC in the past few months have passed for the most part, and I was wondering if it was do the quality of the info being given out over the boards, or perhaps just a coincidence?

Cheers mates, Brent

If everyone had the same amount of information about the PRMC before they went down as the users on these forums do then I would say the pass rate would be a lot higher.

Most people who use these boards pass.Id say about 80% easily(a lot more than the PRMC average which is 50%).IMO this board is just as helpful as your careers adviser(or whoever saw you through the application stage)

I think the forums has helped me lots. Mostly the Press Up info (Only a handfull knew how to do them). and the PRMC diary was a great help.

the forum litterally is a god send, i was in the recruitment office the other day and i was listening to a couple of blokes waiting to get there prmc dates and one said to the other that theres no point in training for it as they'll get you fit when you get down there,the point to that story is that some people haven't got a clue what there getting themselves into where as we are better prepared which can only be a good thing :D

ive only been around a few days but already ive learnt alot more from you guys than anywhere else. even the AFCO would have to look stuff up but the board contains a wealth of knowledge which can only help people pass. the more info and preparation you have may mean you have a better chance of passing.

does anyone join at 16?? or is body not fully developed etc??
