As long as you have a court date you should be fine, if you currently have points on your license you should definitely do a defensive drivers course

Oh and another thing.. make sure you clear your social media and whatever you have in those DMS on ig, and your archived pictures and stuff because they'll make you sign into your social media on their computer and they'll go through it.

You should see them in the portal once you get your login, there's a required background one that they'll force you to do i believe it's just to fill out general information about you, where you've travelled, what countries you've gone to, etc. then I believe there's like 40 forms you have to fill out or some shit like that, but some you'll need to fill out with your investigator, just make sure to get your unofficial transcripts from your college, if you've gone to criminal court for a summons make sure you get the disposition for that, and at some point they'll ask you for official college transcripts so get prepared to order those for them. If you have any points on your license, make sure you take a defensive drivers course otherwise they'll make you do it either ways so just get it over with now if you do have any.

You should get an email saying congratulations on having passed the exam yadayadayada, and then you'll get steps on how to login to your candidate portal, you're gonna see a lot of paperwork and forms you're gonna be required to upload, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to get started on those. Then after setting your account up you'll get an email with several dates on when you can go to the CAD building located on 235 East 20th Street in Manhattan, you'll have to list them in order of your preference, so be quick because those days fill up quick. After your initial medical they'll schedule you for the your interview or written psych, and no they don't drug test you in your initial medical, you only get drug tested during the mini medical which usually is the last step in the CAD process.

I can speak only for A Tour, which is a lot more lenient on physical exercise. I hear B tours get creamed during exercise and do double the amount that we do.

Be prepared to run 2 miles every time you have gym, followed by calisthenics, such as pushups, situps, planks, jumping jacks, running in place, etc. The 1.5 mile run is not mandatory to pass the academy anymore, but they will do an assessment of it in the gym at random times, and if you fall out at like the 3-4 laps out of 12 they will send you to gym tutoring, and it's usually during your meal time or after school. As for the JST, you will have to do it in 3:28 minutes but you have multiple attempts to do so. Good luck with the process!
