Students must score a minimum of 70% on any retest in order to receive a “GO.” Passing scores on a retest will count towards the student’s grade point average as 70%, regardless of the number of correct or incorrect answers on the exam. Students that fail to achieve the 70% standard on a retest will be dropped from the course. 4. Students who maintain an 80% or higher grade on the Nomenclature, Actions During Decent, PWAC and Written exams will be considered “Re-Entry Qualified.” Re-Entry Qualified students will receive two additional attempts to pass the JMPI test.

The use of administrative points will assist the cadre in enforcing standards throughout the course. Students will begin the course with 100 administrative points and my loose re-entry status if accrued administrative points drop below 80%.
