I tried that Irishcop. Think I managed about 5 days so more power to you.
Way I see it I need to keep some lubrication in my old joints.

On my first attempt I sprinted at the first cone full pelt and overshot it my half a metre when turning and I was wide between the cones. I ended up doing 17.7 then I slowed down. Got closer to the cones all the way round and then went hell for leather the last leg. 16.3 I think people concentrate to much on speed this is an agility test. So for those struggling try going slower and smarter. Your running speed will not matter over such a short distance turning and weaving is where the time will be won and lost

Just keep practising. Focus your mind om something else and a point on front of you. Get a regular breathing pattern and just push through the pain. At level 8 you only have 12 or so shuttles to go. Countdown its all psychological

Just what fadsie says. Let your mind wander to the beach, to the dream. Control your breathing. I usually repeat a mantra over and over in my head when I'm near exhaustion. grit your teeth and power through.
Try interval training over the next two weeks. Moderate/high intensity for two mins then flat out 30 secs. Repeat 6 times.
Bloody agility test !

Re: WA police Modified Illinois Agility test
Oh and with the bleep remember that you have the 2 metre safety zone. For those struggling with going past level 8, start level 1,2 and 3 with fast walking instead of running. Don't jog, just fast walk and maybe catch up every now and then not to be called short. After level three run normally - it is incredible how much energy you save by doing it.
