CFA Minimum

[GRGarcia]

Hi does anyone know what the minimum scores for each part of the CFA?

I don't think there are minimum scores that have been released. This is because USNA wants everyone to strive for the best instead of just barely passing. Here is the link to the maximum scores though: https://www.usna.edu/Admissions/Candidate-Fitness-Assessment.php

USNA does not offer any information as to what are "passing" numbers or times.

Max scores can be kinda daunting, and of course it's good to strive for them. Just in case though, USMA posted their cfa averages which are probably pretty similar https://photos.state.gov/libraries/kazakhstan/19452/pdfs/CFA_Instructions.pdf. You can think of these as a "minimum" since being at or above average at the least won't hurt your chances.

The standard you MUST meet as a midshipman (male) is 35 cadence pushups, 1:45 plank, and 10:30 1.5 mile run. This is the minimum standard. It will earn you a D on the PRT. You do not want a D on the PRT.

Use your CFA to show USNA that you can excel in the physical department. If you are exactly equal to another candidate otherwise, why would USNA take the candidate who is "borderline" fit rather than a physical stud?

If you do some searching on this site, you will see scores that have passed (and a few that have failed). Historically, USNA has focused on crunches, push-ups and mile run b/c those corresponded to PRT items. Now that PRT has changed, not sure if that still applies (other than mile run).
