Question is, is the test use automated machine or still like school use people to judge?

full Basic Military Training (BMT) i.e. PES A or B1, you may want

will attend a 9-week Basic Military Training (BMT) and enjoy a

fail to attain the required fitness level will have to undergo a
8-week Physical Training Phase (PTP) before attending the 9-week
BMT.
