<p>The problem with forums such as these is that people who have gone through the experience draw conclusions as to admissions policies based on their own experience - these conclusions maybe correct or only partially correct. Some situations are downright confusing and to create further confusion some Liason officers may give different information than others - just because information applies in one certain case does not necessarily mean it applies in every case.</p>
<p>My daughter went through the process last year she applied to USMA and USNA- the whole CFA thing was one big mystery.
This is what we have been told.
Taking the CFA at SLS or NASS - if you pass it then you are done. Good Job.
If you want to take it again for USMA you may take it ONE more time. If you didn’t get to SLS then you get ONE shot to take the test.
In some cases admissions will contact a candidate and make the offer for them to retake the test. These are close calls.</p>
<p>For USNA you may retake and retake and retake the test and admissions will use the best test.</p>
<p>Nothing was ever said to us about it being pass/fail or if there are point associated. such as if a candidate got and 80/100…etc.
I went to two admissions presentaions and sat with and admissions officer in Thayer Hall with my daughter and nothing was ever said about scoring other than do your best. </p>
<p>My personal “feeling” is that if you are an athlete and in good physical condition you should do fine. If not then you probably have some work to do to prepare. Shoot for the maximums.</p>
<p>For candidates with questions - contact your Regional Admissions officer. That is the best advice I have for anyone.</p>
<p>USNA69 - go back to the Naval Academy forum - bye bye.</p>
