Female CFA

[USMAhopeful2026]

To whomever reads this:

Hey! I hope you're doing well!

I recently was asked to retake the CFA for westpoint because my pushups were lacking a bit. My total results consisted of
42ft bball throw
30 sec flexed arm hang
10.32 sec shuttle run
85 sit ups
23 pushups (18-20 will likely be seen as "correct")
9:19 mile
I received a principal nomination and am qualified in all other fields. I'm just waiting to see if I passed this time around. Any input on pushups? Or does anyone know a female to have passed with 19 good pushups?

Hey, I had to redo my pushups too, and I have similar scores! I did about 20 with correct form. Read below:

I had to resubmit push ups a 2nd time and pull ups a 3rd! It’s very important that the form is perfect. 1 perfect pull up and 15 perfect push ups for females, 3 perfect pull ups and 35 perfect push ups for males. Good luck!

I think this is true for the 15 pushups. My CFA got checked off a couple weeks ago. My state coordinator also reviewed my videos, so you can always do that if you're not a 100% sure. Good luck!!

I passed with exactly 19 push-ups

I think you will be okay. I do recommend improving your running before R-Day.
