Presidential PT or APFT?

[jakesam]

Am i correct that you take the presidential pt test to apply for arotc and then once you are in you'll be taking the apft? Or do you do the apft in both circumstances?

For Army ROTC only:

You can take either for the HS scholarship application, but scholarship winners must pass the APFT to validate their scholarship.

Once in the program it is nothing but APFT thereafter.

Good reading here by @clarksonarmy, an Army ROTC ROO.

Can anyone confirm whether all SMC's have changed the situps in the APFT to the position of arms across chest now instead of clasped behind the head?

I would think that would be an SMC unique thing. I doubt that's something they coordinate, if they coordinate anything!
