Is that unrealistic of me to expect that?

Not sure about RMC but although the women had an easier entry test during BMQ , SQ , ect they had to do the same amount of running , push ups , sit ups , ect as the men did. So in the end it did nt matter.
And yes you should definitely strive to be above standards. I remember the first time we were told we had to do 10 push ups. I thought it was going to be easy except the instructor who was setting the pace did each push up extremely slow. Was incredibly hard
