CFA Inquiry

[Meowspike13]

Good evening y'all, hope everyone is doing well.

I recently took my CFA (1st time ever) and have a qualified status for it. However I am considering retaking it due to my mile time and basketball throw. Any tips on how to get the BBall throw higher?

Here are my stats on my CFA:
Basketball Throw: 59 ft.
Pullups: 13
Shuttle Run: 9.5 seconds
Sit ups: 86
Push ups: 56
Mile Time: 7:46

When/If I take a new CFA, does the new CFA override the old one or may I choose which CFA to use for my application. Thank you so much in advance!

Tons of threads on bball throw. I believe there is a pinned one under USMA. Really no need to retake it if you passed. Others can say you can always improve which is true. But you run the risk of having a worse day since my understanding is that your new one is what counts. You don’t get to choose.

I would just continue whatever training regimen you’ve got going as though you were going to retake it and run a lot. Get ready as if you’ll get an acceptance and be ready for summer.
