    CFA Performance

    Hello, I am a rising high school senior preparing my application for the USAFA. As I'm training for the candidate fitness assessment, I'm starting to doubt that I can get sufficient results from my fitness levels. I know I still have time to prepare, but in the worst-case scenario, would scoring...

    Failed First CFA- Offered Retake, Now What?

    Hello. The title says it all. I took the CFA today and failed it, I assume, because they sent me an email saying they want me to retake it in 30 days. I’m not sure what to do, because they don’t give minimums. My run was bad, but all my other scores were decent, or so I thought. Do they offer...

    I think I'm going to fail my CFA. Any advice?

    I only started looking at the West Point process in October. I had never really thought about it, but a school counselor recommended the school to me after hearing I was going into the Army. I have never been a physically fit individual. In middle school, I was clinically obese. I've made a lot...

    CFA-Basketball Throw

    I took my CFA and passed all events except for the basketball throw. I threw 49 ft. I was authorized a retake almost immediately after my first test. I have been practicing the basketball throw and have gotten up to 58 ft. I was wondering if this is passable?

    CFA

    Hey! I took my CFA recently, and I'm worried about two of my scores. I had to do a flexed arm hang and could only stay up for 15 seconds, and my mile time was like 8:22.
