<p>My runs were off...sheesh. It's because i ran yesterday! I totally forgot I had a CFA to do...but whatever..</p>
<p>how does it look?.. I'm sure i have about 250+ points there....how much is a lot?</p>
<p>I don't know what is "passing" on the CFA but everything looks good to me except the mile run. Back in the days before the 1.5 mile run, 6 min. 30 seconds was passing for a male midshipman in the mile run (not the CFA test). I would think that if you got the mile down below 7.5 minutes you would be OK. Add about a minute for females.</p>
<p>I agree with my shipmate, here. 10 minutes for the run is WAY too slow. I was at NAPS when they switched from the 6:30 mile to the 10:30 1.5-mile run. You need to work on that.</p>
<p>Of course, right now I could probably run a mile in 5................. hours. :(</p>
<p>does it look like i passed atleast?</p>
<p>I was at NASS session III and SLS II, the slowest mile time I saw that passed was 8:35ish I did see some above 9 and they did fail but I can't remember if it was because of the mile or not I'm thinking it probably was though, I'd say it would be pushing it with anything over 8:35ish but thats just me. Besides that your other scores are deffinately fine, nothing to worry about with those</p>
<p>does the CFA require passing on all, or is it a point total that they use</p>
<p>as in, you can have good scores for everything, bomb one, and still pass.</p>
<p>Dude, you're applying to the Naval Academy. If you're not trying to at LEAST PASS them ALL, you're applying to the wrong place. </p>
<p>Failure is not an option. You can barely pass some things and excel at others, with the understanding that the passing score is a minimum standard (and tough enough, to boot), but excelling at everything and failing one thing means YOU FAILED.</p>
<p>Proof? A classmate of mine, from NAPS, prior enlisted (for real, as in E-5 Aviation ET), pulling something like a 3.9 GPA in physics with a minor in Russian, got booted our 2/C year because........... he couldn't pass the swim test.</p>
<p>A standard is a standard. Get your butt out onto the track and RUN. If I was able to pass the damned runs, you certainly can.</p>
<p>I gave my best shot on all of them. I ran that same morning because I totally forgot I had to do a CFA. I nearly maxed out on pullups, maxed on push ups, maxed on crunches, did great on the shuttle and bball throw, but my run was off.</p>
<p>I can run a mile in about 6:50/7:00. Not terribly fast, but a decent score nonetheless. I had a bad day, simple as that. Don't make it sound like I'm just trying for the minimums. I tried for the maximums, but did bad on one score in the process becuase I blew myself out. I gave it my all, so respect that.</p>
<p>All I know is that it's a PASS/FAIL test. what are the requirements for the passing score? (a passing score on all events, or an averaged score that meets the "PASSING" standard?)</p>

I do. Feel better? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Besides, giving your best is what is expected of you.</p>
<p>I don't know the definitive answer, but I suspect you failed. Why? because they don't care about effort; they care about results. Strictly speaking, you failed.</p>
<p>Can you retake it? If so, then train up, retake it, and kick it's ass.</p>
<p>Oh, and if you think I'm being rough with you, guess again. I'm just being straight up.</p>
<p>If you want to see rough, wait until you get there.</p>
<p>haha i wouldn't doubt it zaphod.</p>
<p>lol im actually on a ROTC scholarship right now, they sent me a official candidate paper the day i was presented my check. </p>
<p>im actually reconsidering going to USNA/continuing my application there.</p>
<p>I'm happy I already have my chance to become a naval officer..and that's what i really want. so if I fail on this dude, it's no skin off my back. i love the navy, even if they think I can't run! :D</p>
<p>I was wondering the exact same thing about my own CFA.</p>
<p>55' basketball throw
94 pushups
Max crunches
12 pull-ups
9 second shuttle run
5:58 mile</p>
<p>I am a little wary about my scores. I feel like I did okay, especially on pushups, crunches, and the run, but I'm especially worried about my basketball throw. I'm almost positive I could do better on it if I try again, especially now that I know what it entails. What are y'all's thoughts?</p>
<p>lol man you passed.</p>
<p>you have a olympic run time...lol.</p>
<p>everything looks good dude.</p>
<p>You ran a sub-six mile and you're worried? :confused:</p>
<p>If you think running it again will improve your score, then by all means do so, but don't do it because you think you scored poorly. Your scores look great!</p>
<p>Fastest I ever ran the mile was near the end of Plebe Summer, when I ran a 5:45. I'm still in shock. :eek:</p>
<p>Next best time was 6:10. It goes rapidly downhill from there! :D</p>
<p>how many pullups do you have to do to "pass". I have never been very good at them, and can't seem to improve.</p>
<p>The maximum performance score for pullups is 18.</p>
<p>there is no official "pass" shoot for the max regardless, I was at SLS and the lowest I saw pass was 6 but that doesn't mean that there weren't people with lower that still passed thats just all I saw, but a good number would be 9ish or higher I would say</p>
Was your mile a passing time at 10min? I’m worried about my mile and i got a bit lower than that I am female I can share my scores with you if you think you can help me out please.
