<p>I just took the CFA today and didn’t do so great. However, I am in a hurry to get it over with in hopes of having my file reviewed asap. I already have a nomination and am hoping that my scores are passing! Let me know what you think! </p>

<p>Me: Female</p>

<p>BB Throw: 34
Flexed Arm Hang:15 secs
Shuttle Run: 10 secs
sit ups: 61
push-ups: 32
mile run: 8:30</p>

<p>all of my scores are below but close to most of the averages. Should I submit them, or just train over the Christmas break and wait till the new year?</p>

<p>Submit... worst case scenario you have to update the scores later... the academy will let you know if you are not physically qualified (passed CFA).</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>ummmm; you might rethink the "submit" option. Realize; you can take the test as many times as you want. HOWEVER, you can only SUBMIT the results ONE TIME!!! That's not to say that the academy wouldn't ask you to retake it. But that's their choice. If EVERYTHING else is excellent and they really want you, they would probably ask you to retake it. If you were just average with everyone else; then they would have no reason to have you retest when they have a lot of other applicants who have passed it. </p>

<p>Only you know the answer. In theory; if you have a 34ACT/2300SAT; 4.0uw GPA IB; mega Varsity sports; mega EC; mega volunteer or work hours; nomination in hand; female and/or minority; etc... then they would probably ask you to retest in a heart beat. But, YOU are only allowed to submit the test ONCE. If you THINK you can improve greatly on the CFA scores, then I would wait the extra couple of weeks. If you doubt it will get much better, then you might as well submit it.</p>

<p>Agree with above...only the academy can allow you to re-test once the score is posted, you can't go back in to revise the score. Plus you haven't submitted yet so spend the break and getting better scores. Submit the 1st of the year.</p>

<p>I would not submit those scores at all.</p>

<p>All of them are below the average for females as printed in the CFA Instruction Book.</p>

<p>Keep practicing.</p>

<p>Take it again until you can at least exceed the average scores.</p>

<p>I agree with Christcorp, if you can improve, then wait; if not, then submit and hope for the best.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help! I am going to give it a few more weeks, train hard, then test again. </p>

<p>I feel confident in most of the other aspects of my file. However, worst case scenario I would hate to get a rejection letter and be left there wondering if a few more weeks of training was the difference between being accepted and rejected.</p>
