<strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Marines</strong> <strong>Fitness</strong> <strong>Tests</strong><br />
RM Advanced Personal <strong>Fitness</strong> Assessment<br />
5 Ranks achieving a total score under 199 points are classed as ‘Unsatisfactory’. Any<br />
rank that is in medical category P2 achieving an unsatisfactory score is to receive<br />
specific remedial physical training and retake the test within 3 months. Further<br />
unsatisfactory test scores may well require medical referral. Attainment of a score<br />
higher than ‘Satisfactory’ is a creditable individual goal, which is to be<br />
encouraged and reported on.<br />
6 The purpose of adopting a sliding scoring system is to provide a method of<br />
assessment that is sensitive to changes in personal fitness. This will offer<br />
Commanders an easily identifiable “snap shot” of the unit’s individual fitness<br />
standards and can be used to encourage personnel to maintain and increase unit<br />
cohesion and ethos by means of competition and results.<br />

favourable and suitable facilities exist.<br />
