My pat is tmr and The letter says to bring a doctors note if you take any medication, but my doctor said I didn't need one for eye drops. should I just bring the eye drops with my prescription?

Just bring the med and the prescription. They just have you write the name and Rx #.

Thanks.

It's probably less than that. I'm 6' and it was lower than that. It is possible to lose the weight in the time frame. I did it.

Think it's a lot lower then that look up a bmi chart for your height average weight was no higher than 179. I would diet and hit the gym asap

 

[Stavie670]

Took the pat test today, one of the instructors said that exam 6003 would be considered for July academy.

 

[DavidS]

Nice. How long did the PAT take?

 

[Stavie670]

Was quick I was the first one there like 7-8th person out. A lot of people did not pass today.

 

[Stavie670]

Most People failed the stair-climber. And the people that failed where obviously out of shape

 

[DavidS]

I'm assuming because they failed the stair master...??

 

[Stavie670]

Yea that's the first station

 

[Russ93]

That's ridiculous,I'm not just fat, I have muscle too. No way I'm going to be 179lbs. impossible,everyone's body is different. I'm not in the best shape but I'd say I'm in decent shape,yes I should lose some more lbs boy no way I'm losing to 179.

 

[Mikef19]

179 is certainly not the number. I'm 6' and I think for that height its 224. I was able to drop close to 25 pounds in the 30 days they give you before the reweigh. And I did it in s healthy fashion.

That's the numbers according to the bmi chart which they use and I believe you're allowed to be 15-20% over bmi. My friend that's 6' got down to 220 and was fine

It states in the letter to wear workout clothes under your normal street clothes, sneakers and to bring a towel for personal use.

 

[Stavie670]

I know this question has been answered before but, what is the number to call to see if you passed the pat

 

[RUMCEMT]

Tell them about everything. Those are prescription, at least they were when I had lasik done. Failure to disclose is a huge thing they talk about, always err on the side of caution and tell them.

Tell them, but at pat unless it will make you piss dirty they don't really care but tell them for sure
