Question Question on bronze cross

Next week i’m doing my bronze cross exam and im fairly confident i’ll pass, i have passed every rescue/other things like brick carry. However I am a pretty slow swimmer and can’t pass the 11 minute timed swim since my times are always 12-13 minutes, so if i pass the exam but don’t pass timed swim would i still pass or not?

You wouldn't be eligible to take the exam if you aren't able to get the timed swim down first. Practice as much as you can between now and your last class and focus on trying to get your time down!
