Question

How do I get from 5.1 to 5.6 in 1 week?

Tom De Backer

Top Answerer

If you only have 1 week, then do as follows. Sleep well every night, do some light running, weight lifting, cardio, but do not exhaust yourself. Healthy food, lots of water, give your body rest. On the day, have light foods, such as fruits and yogurt, and on the test, give it your all. The first time people feel "I can't go on", they are at 40% of what they can do. So bite down, dig in, focus, and run. And keep running. Always one more beep. You got this, you can do it!

Question

How do I train to get better for the beep test?

Community Answer

Try to go for a morning jog before school, it can make you feel better and increase your stamina. Go in the early morning, an hour and a half before you leave for school so you can take a shower and get ready afterward. If you're afraid to go alone or when it's darker in the morning, get your parent/sibling to go with you, or even a neighbor or friend.

Question

What should I do if I only have one day before the bleep test?

Community Answer

Since you don't have much time to train for the test, you can eat well, drink water and get plenty of rest before the test so that you are in your best possible shape.
