<p>From a previous discussion on the APFT at USMA:</p>
<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/military-academy-west-point/169282-grading-scale-apft.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/military-academy-west-point/169282-grading-scale-apft.html</a></p>
<p>“USMA runs on the extended scale, so you can score above a 300. The grade you receive depends on your total score, not individual events. A 300 is an A-, 325 an A, 270 a C (I believe). The 180 point standard in the Army will get you a very poor grade here. To get a 300, if you’re in the 17-21 age group, is right around 72 push ups, 76 sit ups, and a 13:00 2 mile. You cannot go over the extended scale in one event if you do not max all the events, ie you cant do
100 pushups and get 125 points (max) in that event, yet run a 14:00 2 mile but have those extra points from push ups be added to your score. You have to hit the maximums in every event in order to get the extended points.”</p>
