LAPD Physical Abilities Test
Hello,
I'm hoping someone who is familiar with the test can help with a couple of questions.
The "see-saw" test... What exactly is the set up here? Is it a makeshift see-saw in a gym, a real one outside, or something else entirely? How big, etc.
The "line straddle"... We used to do this in school as follows: three lines, start by straddling the center line. Side-step right until you straddle the right hand line. Side-step left until you're back in your starting position. Side-step left until you straddle the left hand line. Repeat. Is this how LAPD does it? One book says, "run back and forth within 5 yards, as fast and as many times as you can, within ten seconds." This makes it sound more like a windsprint? Which is it?
Thank you.
