<p>My Mid has told me he's taking his PRT today......please , someone, refresh my memory bank on exactly what the PRT test entails , how often it's administered and what are the satisfactory passing "grade" requirements...thanks and,</p>
<p>Go NAVY,
G5</p>
<p>Yes, today is PRT day for spring semester!</p>
<p>PRT = physical readiness test. It includes 2 minutes of pushups, 2 minutes of situps, and a 1.5 mile run. </p>
<p>The grading criteria are shown on the USNA.org web site:
PRT</a> GRADING SCALE</p>
<p>These scoring ranges may not be exact, but the minimum and maximum scores look the same as those that used to be posted on the USNA web site.</p>
<p>Thank you 2012mom? for that great info......now.....what's a "QPR" ?</p>
<p>GO NAVY,
G5</p>
<p>Its pretty much the same as a GPA. I forget what it stands for, but it determines your AOM(Academic order of merit) which is 70% of your overall order of merit.</p>
<p>QPR = "Quality Point Ratio"</p>
<p>Grades are averaged like most colleges using a weighted hour system (4-hour class versus 2-hour class) and the grade obtained (A= 4-points). Every semester a Mid will have a QPR. After the first semester, a cumulative QPR (CQPR) will also be done. A 2.0 is required for graduation and to be considered not "Un Sat." If a Mid fails 2 or more courses, has a semester QPR below a 1.5, falls behind in the graduation matrix (to graduate on a 4-year time plan) s/he can be dismissed.</p>
<p>Grades are also done in military performance, conduct, physical education classes, and summer programs. They are not included in the QPR but are used to determine class standing.</p>
