The Applicant Physical Abilities Test (APAT) is a pre-employment physical fitness test developed to evaluate an applicant’s ability to perform the physical tasks required on the job by measuring muscular and dynamic strength, endurance, flexibility, aerobic capacity and other factors related to physical aptitude. The APAT is scored on a point-based system. Each test component is scored on a scale from 0 to 8 points. An applicant must achieve a minimum cumulative score of 20 points with no zeros to pass the APAT. APAT standards are not specific to age and/or gender identity.
