Earlier this year I did the the beep test and got 13.1 which I was stoked with.
But there were 3 or 4 others that got better than me. The highest was around 14/15.

As a fitness professional, l would suggest that you train for your sport ie. do movements and drills that are relevant. As for afl, a program that l had some success with and would recommend is variations on the Chris Carmichael Training Method. If you are young keep out of the gym and get on the park, lots of up/down/sideways interval movements.

Rugby
In 1999 the average Beep test for the Australian referees on the National Referee Panel was 11.2. This increased to level 11.11 in 2001 and 12.7 in 2004. The International Rugby Borad (IRB) now have a minimum required level for their referees of 12.5 (reported in article from juniors.rugby.com.au, 2004 report))
The Indian rugby sevens team achieved an average of between level 12 and 14 after some pre-season training focusing on fitness (India Times website, Dec 07)
The Springboks in 2007 expected scores for the beep test range from 11.5 for the props up to 13.5 for the backs (conducted on grass, more on Springboks norms).
English rugby legend Martin Johnson said in an interview that he was able to achieve around 14 during his playing days (EuroSport Website, Oct 2007).
NSW (Australia) Under 17 rugby union squad are required to reach at least level 10.8 (Tamworth Leader, retrieved Aug 07).
Graham Bashop, All Black scrum half did a level 19 in the early 90's.
Most professional rugby flankers score in the 12 to 13 range, while props score around level 10. Jonah Lomu, the awesome 260 lb winger from the New Zealand All Blacks, has a best of only level 10 explaining why he is a winger and not a number 8.
Fiji's Kini Qereqeretabua's effort in the beep test of 17.1 is very impressive, especially considering that he is 103kg. Team-mate Netani Suka recorded 16.7 (Jan 2007).
English Union players Steve Backley and Neil Back were hitting level 16 (personal report, 2002). Flanker Neil Back is sometimes reported as having completed to the test.
Field Hockey
The Canberra Lakers Hockey Team reached an average of 15.8 in preparation for the Australian Hockey League in 2008 (from the Canberra TImes, Dec 2007).
The best players in the Australian Hockey team get to around level 17 (Livermore and Dwyer), most reach between 14-16, and a couple may just make 12.
The Malaysian Hockey Federation (MHF) announced that it will introduce the beep test for players in the Malaysia Hockey League (MHL) for the coming season, as they wanted to take the MHL to a higher level. Passing the test will be compulsory for all players. In the first year the pass mark will be lower, but in following years, players must pass the international mark (Level 14) to be eligible to play.
Basketball
Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash reaches level 14 (2007).
Cricket
NZ Central Districts player Brent Hefford achieved 13.3 on his first-up effort in the beep test (reported in Hawkes Bay Online, Aug 07).
Up and coming Australian cricketer from Tasmania, Ben Hilfenhaus, is regarded as one of the fittest players in Australian cricket. He has recorded a level 15 in the beep test (Jan 07).
Australian Rules Football

Bomber Mark Johnson recorded a 15.2 beep test during the 2007 season, placing him in the elite group at Windy Hill (Herald Sun, Oct 2007)
At the 2007 Pre-Season Draft Camp, the potential top pick, ruckman Matthew Kreuzer had the 10th best beep test, reaching level 14.2. The best beep score this year was 15.2 by Cale Morton (Chris Judd got 15.1 back in 2001) (Oct 2007)
It is reported the reigning Premiers and reputedly the fittest team, the West Coast Eagles, have more than 12 players who score level 15 and above (Jan 2007).
Simon Black of the Brisbane Lions has the club record of 15.11 (from 2005)
At the AFL draft camp in 2005, Tom Rischbieth scored 15.08, beating the record of Sydney's Jarrad McVeigh 15.06 which he scored in 2002, and Sydney teammate David Spriggs 15.06 from the 1999 draft camp.

Young potential star Nicholas Condylis, moved from Australia to play for Panathinaikos club in Greece two years ago at age 15. He was recorded a 17.1 in the beep test, which puts him up there with the international standard. (St George News, Feb 08)
The Indian Soccer squad has an average beep test score of 11.7, with Steven Dias as the best. The article reported that the world standard for soccer players is is 13.09, (as reported by the Hindustan Times online, July 2007)

An article in the Independent.ie reported that Dublin player Wes Hoolahan has beaten the test twice (May 07).
David Beckham has reputedly completed the test, which seems like a bit of hype. Another source I found said he has reached level 16, which seems more believable.
Australian player Nick Carle reached level 13.1 (March 07)
Brazilian import for the Melbourne Victory team, Fred, is the fittest player in the squad, recording a level of 16 when he did the beep test (Jan 07).
English Premier League player Lee Gong Dook was reported to have reached level 17 (Jan 07).

nice work
I am in year 7 and did a beep test today, got up to level 10.6. Just downloaded it from the net and put it on my mp3 player. Than just measured out a distance, put a couple of footy's down in the marked 20 metre distance. Than just grabbed some earphones and started it on my mp3 player. Works a treat!

Holy shit. Bloody Victorians, I'm feeling inadequate. Our school cross country champ ran about 14.
I heard George Gregan ran 21, dunno if it's true. Anyone done the creatine phosphate test. That is a bitch.

i might have done the phosphate creatine test, what do you have to do? i know it tests your ATP PC system.
The beep test i did must have been different as even though we had some incredibly fit people in my year the highest level anyone reached was 13. Most normal people had dropped out well before 9 and the overweight people were dropping out at around 5 or 6.
