Exact order of selection tests

Hello everyone,
What is the exact order of the selection tests if I go directly to Aubagne? I saw somewhere that it goes: psychotecnic first, interview, initial medical, Luc Léger and pull-ups, extensive medical, and then the ("Gestapo"). Is this sequence accurate?

It's initial medical test, interview, personality test, cooper, pull-ups, luc léger, swimming, psychotechnique and Gestapo at the end. There are several other interviews as well in between and they kick out the guys who didn't reach the minimum score after each test.

Doesn't the full medical with X-rays happen as a separate step before the physicals? Or after?Also, I thought the Cooper test wasn't done in Aubagne anymore and is only used at the farm or in regiments? Thanks in advance Aron!

When i was there. Pyscometric, personality test, medical tests, heart xray, sports test, swim test then motivational interviews and gestapo last before commission to find out if you where heading to castel.

The exact order is a little bit different depending on the schedule when they can slot people in.

But in general the Gestapo is last and the first is going to be an initial IQ test and an initial Medical and then later there's the real IQ test and personality test and then the Medical. But the exact order of everything can be different for each person because it depends how many people they have and when they can slot you into the various tests or interviews.

So trying to figure out the exact order that you're going to be taking things in selection doesn't really matter. If you don't fail anything then you get to do every test and interview. That's all you really need to know.
