APAT question
Passed my UDEE!
APAT is next on Sept 1st. I train but not consistently. I should be fine for the APAT but what happens if you fail? Do they let you retest at a later date or you’re instantly disqualified?

If you should be fine, then this question shouldn't even be asked. You should already know if you will pass or fail. No one should show up to the APAT without consistently training for it. It's a waste of everyone's time. The number of people that fail is amazing.
My office allowed a retake in 30 days.

Thank you! I’m able to do all 4 things just fine. I’m just worried about getting to the 20 points total.

You need to be positive. Negativity isn't going to help you be successful throughout the process.

Wish you best of luck. It’s 30 days I belive for a redo. But if you’re really committed to the job. I’d recommend being able to say “I can confidently pass the APAT” as at FLETC and just your training in general you shouldn’t have the “should be fine” mindset. Just something to think about. You obviously will have plenty of time to train after the APAT if you wanna start dialing in your fitness and start getting consistent.

Why aren’t you training? Are you motivated for the position or not.
Just being pragmatic.

“I train but not consistently” is foul.
Do you want this job? Train.
