In 2008, the qualifying time for the 1500m was separated into two categories:
A standard = 3minutes 39 seconds
B standard = 3minutes 43 seconds
An "A" standard time will get you an automatic entry, a "B" standard will only get you in the event if there are not enough A standard athletes registered to run the event.
The qualifying period is usually open for around 6 months prior to the games.

The A Standard is the "automatic" qualifying time for an event. The B Standard is the backup qualifying time.
