15m Bleep Test Calculations
Here is a table of the number of shuttles required to run for each level of the 15m bleep test, with calculations for the speeds, times and distances for each level. There is a similar table for the 15m PACER test which has very different timings. See also a similar table for the 20m beep test.
See the web page on beep test versions for more information about variations of the test.

| 17 | 14 | 15.93 | 3.25 | 2,670 | 13:35 |
Note: the above table values is believed to be correct, and is the same as the 15m Bleep test audio files that are currently available online However, a presentation by Kevin Sykes online describes the test differently, with the 15m version as being designed so that the running speed at each level is same as 20m test, with the same number of turns per level as the duration of each level is reduced from 1min to 45secs.
