Sick and taking pat

[isellcaddys]

I'm going to be taking my pat test with Lapd this Friday. I have a bad case of cold/flu and I'm not sure if I should postpone it . I know it's fairly easy test but I'm feeling really sick. If I call to postpone the PAt would that look bad ? Any help will be appreciated

I would call and ask them if you can.

I took a corrections agility test last weekend and I'm still recovering from a respiratory infection.

I had to sit in the locker room for half an hour afterwards until my breathing and heart rate went back to normal and the room stopped spinning. I passed, though, so it was worth it. I spent the rest of the weekend coughing like crazy.

But like sgt jon said - call them and ask. I was in the process with a department about 9 years ago and I ended up having to drop out from the process because I couldn't re-schedule the test. They're the only ones who can tell you. But if it's just a cold, I'd try to push through, because there are no sick days in the academy if you get hired.

Thanks for the input. I rescheduled to two weeks from now. Dr. Office here I come .
