    If I remember correct from when I applied the CFA at KP is just a pass or fail, and doesn't have a point system given to it in the overall application process. This was two years ago so it may have changed but I hope this helps.

If you fly into JFK depending on what you want, your able to take the trains up until the Great Neck train station which you will then need to uber in.
