<p>Ok, so I am super nervous about not passing my CFA that I have to take next week. I have to have it done by October 15th (2013) I have recieve a letter of assurance, now only contingent upon passing the CFA and receiving a nomination. I am a female and my scores have been:</p>
<p>Ball throw- 42'
Shuttle run- 8.5
Pull ups- 1
Push ups- 30
Sit ups- 45
Mile- 7:30</p>
<p>What should I focus on? And if I don't pass, how soon would I know so I could try and retake it?</p>
<p>I took it today and got these scores:</p>
<p>Bball throw- 51’
Shuttle run- 9.6
Pull ups- 1
Sit ups- 61
Push ups- 32
Mile run- 7:35</p>
<p>I am just waiting to see if I can pass with these scores</p>
<p>Best of luck !</p>
<p>APM2014: There should not be any mystery about what it takes to pass the CFA. West Point publishes the “average” (really means minimum) and Maximum scores.</p>
<p>Read the instructions and you can easily determine if your scores will be considered a “PASS”. Keep in mind, typically USMA Admissions only accepts the scores submitted. If you want to re-take, then it is up to your Regional Commander for USMA Admissions. So, be prepared, compare your current scores to those published and go for it! The CFA is 10% of your overall Whole Candidate Score – so don’t stress out too much about CFA especially if you have earned a number of Varisty Letters in a high school sport.</p>
<p>Here is the link to the instructions: <a href=“http://www.usma.edu/admissions/Shared%20Documents/CFA_Instructions.pdf[/url]”>http://www.usma.edu/admissions/Shared%20Documents/CFA_Instructions.pdf</a></p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>one point of clarification for Female candidates (I learned this from a classmate of mine at West Point): 1 Pull-up for a female is acceptable and it is much better than any amount of flexed-arm hang time. </p>
<p>Go luck!!</p>
<p>I did pass. I have a letter of assurance and now have a complete application. Now just all I have to do is play the waiting game to receive a nomination. Thank for your help!</p>
