How does the scoring system work on the new acft?

I asked this question about six months ago but I was wondering if anyone has heard different? There are six events and I was still wondering if if you fail one event then you fail the whole test or are they going on a point sustem or something similar? For example the acft is gonna be 6 events so that’s a 600 pt Max. if you score 400 points in 4 or 5 events do you have to do the last two events or has anyone heard anything different? I may be going on permanent profile because a foot condition I was born with has caught up to me so it’s a good chance I will fail the run.

Last I heard, they're still going through legalities through JAG because of what you mentioned.
FYSA: Every time there is a new policy or regulation, it has to go through the JAG Corps. Extensive researches, EOs, liabilities, etc... Just like when a Commander puts out a new policy or MFRs (Memorandum For Record), it has to go through Legal to get approved.

They are still gathering data on it. They'll use the data to adjust the standards and establish policies for the test. For example, if most females can't do a single leg tuck, it wouldn't make sense to fail every person who can't do a leg tuck because you'll lose a significant amount of the force

So just got certified as a lvl 2 acft instructor. If anyone wants all the new latest and greatest information I can email that to them.

But yes if you fail one event you fail the test it is no different then the APFT its like saying well I passed the push ups and sit ups but I failed the run or tape test that means you have still failed the test.
At first I thought it would be horrible but it is absolutely better than the APFT. The run actually seemed a lot better since your body was already worked up before hand.
