I may be a bit long in the tooth to respond here, but my initial thought having read your post is this:

Most successful candidates max the PT test. The PT Test itself is nothing more than a requirement to conduct, not train for. The ruck march is the true test that must be prepared for. It is both physically and mentally demanding, allowing opportunity for the candidate to fail on two separate levels. You will be physically and mentally challenged over a very lengthy amount of time, constantly questioning why you chose to subject yourself to a great deal of discomfort. The instructors will be full of ^(&$, and life will suddenly become unfair. Your PT Test will seem trivial as soon as it is over.

If you have not learned how to keep yourself HEALTHY at this point of the game you may find another unexpected surprise or two. Your feet, back, ankles, and overall mental stamina will be tested during Selection. There is no "One" event that you should prepare for, SFAS should (still?) challenge you in a very comprehensive way.

Do your best, prepare for the worst, and stay healthy.

And above all good luck! It's well worth it in the long run.
