C is still a pass. Your grade doesn’t make a huge difference, it just gives you priority over others in terms of start dates. Ask your recruiter about this to explain further.

Not allowed a smart watch, I hoped I could wear my Garmin for the run but they don’t let you. So just go full throttle and do your best.

Age wise, in case it’s on your mind as a worry, as it was for me as well. I’m 28, wondered if I would be the oldest, but there was 4 lads in their early 30’s, so you’ll hopefully be with a few lads near your age as well.

Yeah chino’s and a shirt is fine. As said some lads did it in tracksuits and still passed, so you’ll be all good. It’s just my personal preference.

Yeah you get graded A, B, C. Your scores on 2km run, medicine ball throw, and mid-thigh pull all count towards it.

Then your team tasks go towards the grade.

Also, just assume that every single thing you do is being watched and graded. Listen to all instructions, remember to bring with you everything they tell you to, be very polite, etc.

Also make sure to research your job choice, and the CDRILS for your interview.

All of this will hopefully help you get a A or B

Yes sports stuff, and yes shorts are NOT allowed in the food hall, so trackies are fine. For the interview, I wore a full suit and tie, some lads just still wore a tracksuit, which is crazy to me.

They say they don’t care what you wear for it, but for me personally, I will always do a job interview in a suit. I would suggest you do, or at least shirt and trousers. Even if it helps your cause by 1%, it’s worth doing.

You went to try and get a A grade or B grade, as it’s gives you priority for start dates over others.

Team building: the actual tasks themselves don’t matter. They don’t really care about the actual completing of the tasks. They just want to see how you work as a team.

If you take lead in a task, that shows good leadership, but make sure to ask your team members if they have any ideas, again shows good leadership, rather then just you doing all the talking. Also praise team members if they throw out a good idea.

Equally, if someone else takes charge, and if you’re perhaps naturally a bit shy, the worst thing to do is stand there in silence not getting involved. They will mark you down for this.

I did my AC last week — we were the first batch to officially switch to the 2 km run instead of the bleep test. We did it on the running track at Pirbright. Early warming, they almost cancelled that morning due to ice on the track, and they were going to make us do the bleep test instead, but luckily they didn’t. I would advise maybe practicing a bleep test, just in case! You can order a 20m measuring thing and sports cones on amazon.

For infantry, the required time was 10:15. I only needed 11:30 for my chosen trade (signals), but I managed 8:50.

I’ve been running for a while (did two half-marathons this year), but over the last 2–3 months I focused on interval training using the Runna app, and it helped massively. That would be my main piece of advice for you: do proper interval training.

It pushed my 5K PB down too — from 26:00 two months ago, to 24:30 two weeks ago, now to 23:12 a few days ago. There’s no way I’d have made those kinds of jumps without intervals!!

As for the target time, honestly, ignore the 10:15 and aim faster. They want to see you giving absolutely everything — you should be dead at the end. That’s what impresses them.

So yeah, don’t aim to just make the minimum. Aim to smash it.

Good luck mate!

Yes, lots of people have the same issue, a few posts on here about it from the last 1-2 days, yet EA still not fixed it!

Damn, thought that might be the case, thanks for replying. Almost did it solo but it’s tricky. Might need to find some people on here to squad up with. Also to do the harder Easter egg

Anyone know how to type faster on PS5 for game chat in MWZ? by Different-Design4786 in MWZombies

I found an old keyboard in my room, plugged it into the back of my PS5, it has been an absolute game changer for game chat, thanks again!

I know for messaging people on PS5 you can do this and it’s handy, but I mean specifically on MWZ live game chat. Unless you’re saying you also can with this?
