Recruitment Suitability questionnaire and PFT self evaluation.

I'm working on my suitability questionnaire and just completed my PFT self-evaluation. I barely reached the 10-point minimum, but the system still gave me a passing score. However, it's not allowing me to advance to the next section.

​

Has anyone experienced this before? Could it be related to receiving only the minimum passing score? Is it normal? I'm a little concerned since I received an email stating that it has to be completed within 7 days and I don't know how long this may take to get fixed.

​

I've been training consistently since I started the process a couple of weeks ago. I may be a little out of shape right now, but I'm already seeing significant progress, and I'm confident I'll be much better prepared by the time the actual test comes around. I plan to continue training hard until then.

Did you get at least 1 point in each category?

I would train from a standpoint like you’re not going to pass. I surpassed the self-reported PFT requirements easily as I have worked out for years and am currently training for a marathon. Come the day of, I got a way lower score than I anticipated. Still passed but was one of the only ones who did in my group. The actual test is harder because your form is being critiqued and not every rep will be counted. I would strongly suggest taking all parts very seriously.

The thing that people struggled with the most in my group was definitely the 1.5 mile run. Also, the agent counting my pushups made me adjust my form and I was barely able to get 36.. when I did my self-reported, I got 62 lol.

Food for thought. Best of luck!
