Hi there, i have my final interview tommorow for Strathclyde, would be very grateful if anyone had any last minute advice for me Thanks

I have my fitness on 3rd Dec, and am in process of getting fit in prep. What warm up do GMP do for the fitness? Is it the bleep test to a lower level, or stretches etc? Also, do GMP stop everyone at 5.4 or allow you to see how far you can go? I'm concerned about pacing myself on the actual test, but hope it will be easier once doing it as there will be a group running together...

Hi all I applied for NWP in March and failed the Papersift, now I have been told that they are recruiting again in September so would i be eligible to reapply then as it would be 6 months just or would I have to wait another 6 months before applying?
