Try this Link here for the USMA CFA testing:
They publish "Average Performance Scores by Event and Gender" on Page #1Those Averages would work for the USNA and the USAFA CFAs too.
One pull-up is considered a significantly better accomplishment than doing the flexed arm hang
It's May - there is a lot of time to work out and prepare for the CFA
There are plenty of threads on how best to prepare. My preference is P90x
The USMA forum has a thread 'oh know the basketball throw' which provides a lot of insight into that event which is typically the most awkward for someone to perform
And remember obtaining the average score is not the same as the average score of those appointed

Can you elaborate or quantify failing one portion ? Is it just not making the published "average" score for each test or something else ? Thanks.

The above link provides the Maximum scores per event
If you 'fail' one section, you have failed the entire CFA. For example, if your mile run is 23 minutes and you achieve a maximum score on the other 5 events - you will have failed the CFA. When asked to re-do the CFA, you will be required to re-accomplish all 6 events - not just the one(s) you failed.
Your entire approach is wrong if you are looking to accomplish the average in each portion of the CFA. (Search the threads on TWEs to see how people with exemplary overall scores for fitness/academics/sport/extra curriculars/etc did not receive appointments)
Not to say you won't get in by achieving 'average' scores, but it is stunning how competitive the entire process is.
