Preparation Tips
- Start running today without waiting for your registration slip. The 1.6 km in 8 minutes requirement sounds manageable but candidates who arrive on test day without specific running preparation consistently fail this component. Six weeks of daily running transforms your time meaningfully three weeks is borderline, one week is not enough.
- Check your vision honestly before selecting a trade. Most trades require unaided 6/6 vision in both eyes without glasses or contacts. Applying for Aerotech or Medical Assistant when you wear corrective lenses wastes your registration fee and your preparation time. Check vision first and select trade second.
- Do not apply on the last day of the 13-day window. PAF portal traffic spikes near closing dates and technical failures affect last-day candidates disproportionately. Registering in the first three days gives you time to fix any document upload issues before the portal closes.
