Hey guys,
I just took the fitness test today, and these are my scores (I am a male) :

58ft basketball (I have no idea what happened, I never practiced it properly)
14 pullups
8.66 shuttle
64 situps
41 pushups
7:30 mile

I compared these to the averages on the West Point website and the only things that really concern me are the throw, situps, and mile. Obviously this is really close to the deadline of application submission so a retake is unlikely, but I'd like to hear from others what they think and what they have gotten to see if my scores are adequate.

I'll keep checking back in daily to see responses and to keep you guys posted on my results.

Thanks!

Good luck to you! From all that Ive read, you look good. The basketball throw is weak but I think its passing, at least the Gain Service Academy calculator says it is (not an official calculator but read that its fairly reliable) The answer I keep seeing is that only the Academy knows the true passing numbers. The run is close but Ive read anything under 7:50 would pass (same disclaimer) The one thing I would be concerned with is did they count all of your push ups, because while 41 would pass, they are very strict on perfect form, so if they knocked any off, you might be at risk there. Pull ups are really good, shuttle too and you are fine on sit ups, again, from what Ive ascertained.
Keep us posted on what the Academy says- best of luck!

Thanks so much for your help!

From what I saw in my video, there are like 2-3 that likely will not count because the form is questionable, but ultimately it's up to USMA to what they decide like you said.

I'll make sure to keep you posted!

We appreciate the advice. Thank you.

Those look like really good results, as she's only a little under in the throw and pushups and above average in everything else.

I won't promise it's passing as ultimately it's up to USMA to make the decision, but she should be happy with how she did.
