FBI Special Agent Physical Fitness Test

Applicants to become FBI special agents face four events: a 300m sprint, maximum push-ups, a 1.5-mile run and a core or pulling event. The long-standing version uses one minute of sit-ups and passes candidates with 12 points in total and at least one point in every event. Reports from 2026 say a late 2025 revision swapped sit-ups for pull-ups and changed the total required, but the Bureau's own requirements page still showed sit-ups when this list was researched, so check which version your invitation names. The pairing of a flat-out 300m with a 1.5-mile run is what catches people out: it demands both speed and aerobic base on the same day.
