I looked around and couldn't find any info on this...

Can someone let me know where I need to go to participate in this test?

Let me give you a heads up, its not going to be as easy as it looks. A lot of people fail cpat. Make sure you train for it.

I've signed up for the whole practice run as well, orientation, practice and test. Sacramento during the weekend of the 25th.

Thanks for the info, I work out all the time anyway so just another day at the office for me!

[CALFFBOU]

Yes, be in shape for it, but dont get too worried either. I passed it while having the flu. (no joke)

Can anyone reccomend a solid hotel to stay at near the sac cpat facility? Are there any close by?

[CaptBob]

Call the sac facility. I'm sure they will know the close by lodging and probably one that will give you a discount. If not do a google search of the address then search lodging near there.

Call them for more info

[CALFFBOU]

If I remember correctly, there are some newer "Micro-Tels" along the 5 freeway. Perfect for your CPAT vaation/experience.

You guys ARE just kidding right?

[FireWA1]

I'm not much of a hotel person. I go for hostels. So here is my suggestion. http://www.norcalhostels.org/sac/

A large department in the bay area got real nervous when a small one armed women almost passed their CPAT.

The CPAT is not difficult at all. I do not work out often at all and passed it in 8:06. That was after I flew accross the country a few hours before. Just don't make sure you dont fall of the stair machine and the rest is cake. Good luck

i had a cpat last month and was dq'd on the ladder halyard raise cuz of rope slippage. i had passed the cpat 2 prior times wit no prob. i just took it again yesterday n passd in 8 min flat. take ur time on the ladder raise.

[CALFFBOU]

Again- I took the CPAT with the flu and passed. Because of being ill, I almost threw up at the end. Looking back, I kinda wish I did remembering that not so good feeling in my tummy.

[SmokeEater316]

Again, thanks for the info guys. I've got my hotel reservation all set up and it's not too far from the testing facility. Have the orientation and practice on thursday and the actual test on friday. I'm beginning to think that I won't need the practice run..I guess it can't hurt though!

[Just a new name]

I took it in CA a few years ago. I watched many people fail.

I liked the nice card I got. Handy
