<p>i'm taking the fitness test in a few days and i've been preparing but i don't know if i'm fully prepared.</p>
<p>does anyone know how the point system works for the fitness test, and how many points do you have to get to pass?</p>
<p>everthing i've looked at only shows the maximums, but it would be more helpful to know the minimums.</p>
<p>thanks a lot it would be really great if you could help</p>
<p>There are no minimums - at least that's what everyone says. When we took it during Summer Seminar, the mids INSISTED that there were no minimums, in fact - but everyone knows there are.</p>
<p>Someone on the internet it lists the old PAE scores from West Point - not all the same events as the CFA but as I recall it was very close, and there's a graph that shows the average score accepted.</p>
<p>I hope I'm not thinking of the PT scores that are listed...I'm not trying to mislead you.</p>
<p>Good luck! I know it's stressful, I retook mine in October. If you're a girl, DO NOT do the flexed arm hang!! It's better to do ONE pull up than hang on the flexed arm hang forever.</p>
<p>USNA version of the CFA is pass or fail. What the margin to pass is...I do not know. To be qualified to compete for an appointment you must be:
-scholastically q'd
-medically q'd
-physically (CFA) q'd ---> P/F. If you pass, you are physically q'd.</p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p>
<p>i took the test finally.
how bad are these scores... do u think i might have passed?</p>
<p>basketball throw: 79 ft
pull ups: 6
shuttle run: 8.4 sec.
push ups: 44
sit ups: 75
1 mile run: 6:55</p>
<p>the pull ups and sit ups are pretty crappy. but i dunno could i have passed anyway?</p>
<p>pretty good basketball and mile...idk about boys pullups and shuttle run. You should probably try for more pushups, but it's not BAD (i know girls max at 50 on teh CFA so you should probably try for at least that - our platoon leader at NASS said that if you do 25 pushups one night, 30 the next, 35 the next and so on you get used to them really fast. It's true. I'm a girl and after doing that for a month I maxed at 50 on my retake CFA)</p>
<p>all in all i'd say you did pretty well, not that i'm an expert!</p>
<p>question:
can i submit these scores and then retake the test later and then submit the new scores?</p>
<p>Yup</p>
<p>I had to submit them to West Point and wanted to resubmit at the same time to USNA, so I emailed my regional director I think, gave her my PE teacher's email, and she sent some kind of form for my PE teacher to fill out online. They definitely retake CFA results</p>
<p>btw thanks a lot for your help! this is really what i needed. honestly im kinda winging it... i have no family in the military and nobody at my high school from my high school went to the naval academy in recent years</p>

<p>The following young man apparently has his sights set on attending the US Naval Academy. His father was a Navy pilot. I dearly hope that this young man is not indicative of the caliber of future candidates and officers in the US Navy: (Caution: This is NOT "family friendly" reading, and it's not pretty how young Charles Wenzel has tried to cheat and steal via the Internet) <a href="http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=399203%5B/url%5D">http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=399203</a></p>
<p>Thank you for your time.</p>
<p>lovely forum</p>
<p>That's hilarious, I read that a couple hours ago cause I saw it on my main gaming forum. Small world.</p>
<p>lemme edit this. I really feel sorry for the kid, his life is being ruined miserably. It's not fair to him, any other fraud couldn't even match that.</p>
<p>i know...he could at least make a fraud "nobler", if there ever was one...</p>
<p>....and the person buying the gears should have thought...</p>
<p>me, I feel no pity. He deserved it, he was acting like a total dickwad to EVERYBODY. If he made a mistake, he should not have cashed the check.</p>
<p>Yea, I have to agree that he shouldn't have cashed the check if he didn't like the deal. How do you know he wants to go to Navy?</p>
<p>How much of that all did you read? There are pictures photoshopped of him being murdered, death threats, I mean, they have gone way too far. The problem was resolved and the kid receives death threats and such anyways. And come on, he's 19. Can you say everyone is that smart then, ya its fraud and he was a dumbass, but is 25 dollars worth that? </p>
<p>For the record, I don't defend his actions one bit, just the follow-up after the resolution.</p>
<p>yey....e-death threats for everyone!</p>
<p>meh, problem solved, dont do what he did.</p>
<p>I'm taking mine on next Monday and I took an untimely uninjury in a hockey game yesterday. It's nothing too serious but my arm and foot is still quite sore and I don't want it to be detriment to my pullups, pushups, throw, etc. Should I just go ahead and take it anyway? I'm a college applicant so my file won't be reviewed after mid December...</p>
<p>I believe you can always retake it.</p>
<p>I was in the same situation as you, I overstressed all my joints a few days beforehand. Stretch it out and unless is will really restrict you, it would probably be best to do it IMO.</p>
