I took the CFA twice and I bombed it both times. As of right now, I don't think I'm passing. I know there isn't much time to improve, but I'm willing to do just about anything to pass!

Any tips? Anything helps! :)
 
What worked for me for pullups was the bar in the doorway with a set of bands. You use as many bands as you need and work your way down to doing unassisted pullups.

I'll definitely be giving that a try. Thank you so much!
 
Did you fail in every event, or just one or two? Have you checked out YouTube? If you search this forum, you'll find links to especially good videos on YouTube.

On another front, have you submitted your prior CFAs to the academies (i.e., do the know you failed)? I'd imagine they must give you some credit for persistence, though of course I am sure there are some clear redline scores for pass/fail.

Good luck!

I got about average on the basketball throw, but I did absolutely terrible in all the other events. I checked Youtube, but I haven't found any that I thought were helpful. I'll definitely start combing through the forums.

I didn't submit my CFAs to the academies, but I used a CFA calculator. I signed up for the next CFA on Oct 25, so hopefully I do better this time.

Check out Stew Smith on youtube he has tons of really good videos geared towards improving exercises like push ups, pull ups, even the basketball throw.
