Canadian bleep test is not the same as Uk one
The bleep test or shuttle run used in Canada is modified, firstly, it is done over 20 metres, the UK police tend to use 15 metres making it obviously easier. The Canadian one's bleeps advance faster than in the UK also.
They start the test off at level 3 I think and go up to 6.5. In the UK it starts from 0 goes to 5.4 barely above a fast walk, except Scotland where it is now 8.8 or 9 I think.
But 6.5 on the Canadian is equivalent, due to the extra 5 metres and faster bleeps, to aboput level 9 in UK.
Just for info.

you do start at a walk, though admittedly it does seem faster than the UK.

Re: Canadian bleep test is not the same as Uk one
Where do I get my info? personal experience and also I have both the Canadian and British bleep tests on CD.
The Canadian one is also used in Canadian Forces and is standardised for North America and it is higher than the UK in pace.
The UK police has a slower pace though you start from 0. The UK police shortened the distance to 15 from 20 m, possibly for H and S reasons.
