I got 2 letters today, 1 was about my physical that happens in the next 2 weeks, which is exciting, but makes me a little anxious. The other letter said that my vetting was going to start shortly and will be completed in 6 weeks (following my completion of a questionnaire to the FCO).
That seems very quick, and I didn't think it started until fitness and medical have been passed!?
Any advice before going to the fitness test?

Fitness test shouldn't be too difficult as long as you exercise frequently, 5.4 for the beep test and 34/35kg for push/pull.
I started a running regime a few weeks before the fitness test, did a few runs over short distances to just test my overall fitness, and obtained a copy of the bleep test and attempted it unofficially.
Push-ups and sit ups are really worth doing as well if you dont already do so, I was doing 20 of each per day and I think it certainly helped!
Best of luck with it.

I believe for GMP, vetting starts before the medical but after the fitness test (providing you send the vetting forms back!)
Instead of repeating what Han Solo said, i'll just say: Good luck!
