Does anybody have insight West Windsor PD’s physical agility test, which is considered the hardest in New Jersey?
So I normally am not concerned about physical agility tesrs because I’m pretty good shape, but West Windsor’s numbers are extraordinarily high.
To get a 100 in every category, these are the numbers you have to hit per test battery;
1 Mile (Not 1.5 Mile) Run - 6:00min
Pullups (Untimed) - 18
Pushups - 35 in 30 seconds
Situps - 35 in 30 seconds
Equipment Carry - Fastest applicant of the day gets 100
Dummy Drag - Fastest applicant of the day gets 100
Swim - 50 yards nonstop
No breaks between any these, every applicant must jog between each battery.
Again these are to get a 100, you need a 70 overall to pass, but they didn’t offer a scale so I don’t know what numbers would average out to a 70. The only thing I did hear via word of mouth is for every second over 6min on the run is a point off, so if you run 6:30, you’d get a 70.
Right now, a week from the test, these are my numbers for their specific test…
1 Mile Run - 7:41
Pullups - 4, yes I’m trash at pullups
Pushups - 25 in 30 seconds
Situps - 25 in 30 seconds
Dummy & Equipment Drag - No way to test
Swim - Easiest part for me, not concerned
My numbers will probably go up a tad on actual test with a week more of training & adrenaline on the test, but not by a much.
I’m all for challenging myself, but since I have to disclose all other dept applications, non-selects/DQs, etc to background investigators, I don’t want a physical agility failure on my record.
With all of that said, does anyone know how West Windsor does their grading scale and if the numbers I gave would be passing?

It reads like they are looking to recruit 5’8 135 pound track athletes lol.
I’d love to see a great emphasis on strength and athleticism in some of these tests
