What are the passing standards for the CFA?
I sent in the following scores and the CFA was rejected for low scores. I am a male

BB: 65 ft
Pull-up: 8
Shuttle: 9.1
Push up: 38
Sit up: 53
Mile: 8:03
 
Failed the mile- the minimum is 8:00. If you have the opportunity to retest, give it your all!
 
I don’t think anyone here has definitive knowledge of the current minimums — at least, ones that you know for a fact are being used right now. USMA does not publish minimums. But if you want bulletproof numbers, at least ask the primary source.

But forget the minimums. That’s a formula for underperformance. Shoot for better than that, if you want to maximize your scores and chances. Here are the averages, direct from the USMA website:

Field Force was telling us all the minimums at our CFA so we knew whether to submit our tests to USMA or not. But yes, aim for and above the averages for a great CFA score! It may only be 10%, but that 10% could be the deciding factor to some people's appointment.

I don't know the minimums, but I'm guessing the push-ups are close to the minimum, so if any were disqualified on their review that might drop you below the minimum. Did they ask you to redo or was it just a flat-out fail?

Try to get the mile sub 8 since you are a male and 60 ish sit-ups or higher. And aim for 45 push-ups. I don’t actually know the passing rates but I think those scores would be passing. Am currently plebe so if you need any advice lmk
 
USMA wants to see 30 absolute quality pushups than 50 semi-well-done pushups. Pushups are so easy to get DQ'd for, I watched field force review my video once and was surprised how little the difference was between passing and failing. Could barely tell from the untrained eye. Go as low as you can and perfect the form.
