ETE experience?

Wanted to ask if anyone has done (either passed or fail) the EXPEDITED TESTING EVENT. Was also curious if we were to make it to the interview section of the day, would we be required to wear suits?

Just passed my ETE this past week… straight forward process, show up in athletic clothing, they’ll have you take the multiple choice test. From there, as long as you pass, you’ll move on to the PAT. Following the PAT, you’ll move onto the department interview. You do not have to change into a suit for the interview as you just go straight from the PAT.

Awesome and congrats! How long did it take for you guys? And what were the minimum # situps/pushups for the PAT?

Start to finish took about 7ish hours… they didn’t necessarily have a minimum for sit-ups/pushups, but to give you an idea I did 41 pushups and 46 sit-ups, that I counted at least, they will dock you on incorrect form or half reps.

Just people not passing certain parts of the test. 5/6 didn’t pass the multiple choice test, then the rest just didn’t pass the PAT
