Practice the physical test
The fitness evaluation is practical. Begin a structured training regimen at least 4–6 weeks before 23 May 2026 covering stamina, agility, and strength.
Pay the Music fee correctly
Write "Aptitude Test – Music" and your NIC on the bank deposit slip. A missing or incorrect reference is the most common reason for rejection.
