I don't know what the minimum is, but the max is 50 and average is 33.
If a female is just beginning to train for the CFA now, I would say the maximum (or close to it) is definitely attainable if you do pushups almost every day mixed with weight lifting/working on pull ups. I couldn't even do 30 pushups with correct form when I first started training because my sport doesn't involve upper body strength, but for the actual test I was able to max the event with 8 months of training.

Minimums are unknown (I believe the mile is under 8 minutes and under maybe a tiny bit more leniant but don't quote me on that). One quick tip though is get that Pull-Up, one Pull-Up is worth more than maxing out the time for a dead hang.
I would be very careful of discussions of minimums.
What is one person's passing CFA does NOT mean it is YOUR minimum.
Here is a great post: see Christcorp, post #7, especially the last paragraph
So that is why some chance me or reporting CFA thread show alarming low scores but pass. My DD's low CFA bits were 8:18 mile and 36 b-ball, passed for all Academies.

One if my friends who got in the the USAFA as part of the class of 2019 told me that they kind of ignored the CFA scores last year. His brother was also appointed but apparently got 20 under the average and still got in. I just wanted to clarify that this information is true and was womdering if...

thank you for posting this. While I can see the maximum scores are same as what is published by USMA, I have never seen average scores published. Where did this document come from and how old is it?
It is from the USMA admissions website and is up to date.
Can please you post the link that points to it at www.westpoint.edu? The link posted above does not appear to come from the official West Point admissions site.

Thank you for posting. Yes that is the one I found too but it does not publish averages or minimums. Just the maximum scores, which is all I thought officially the service academies posted for fitness tests. Eastbound has a link above with averages which I do not believe is an official document from West Point Admissions.
