How do the schoolhouses use scores on the new Army PT Test?

Mos specific, age and gender neutral, unit standards?..... Ok correct me if I’m wrong please, because I have been out for 5 years. A Combat mos has to score 70% and a non combat mos has to score 65%, but the Army minimum is 60%? So if in my Combat MOS I score my 70% to go to let’s say Jump school, and a Female Non Combat MOS has to score 65% to go what standard do they use at the school house?

They don't have any score yet. They're going to iron it out, and it will be non gender based.
Not sure where you got those percentages, but based off the max speed for the run and weight for the deadlifts, I don't think a lot of people will be scoring that high.

As it was stated before, no score system in place yet. It is on testing face at specific locations and units across the Army. It will go into effect on or after 1 October 2020. There is no reason to panic. I have heard from a few Soldiers who have taken it, as practice test and they said they did it with no much difficulty. Again, it will not be around for a while.

If that be the case, I would be shitty... We watched all these deployment dodgers get the NCOES schools while we were out being real men. We came home with all the experience, but they had all the rank. This sounds rather the same. Infantry guys meeting Army standards can’t go to Air Assault School, Air Borne because they fail to meet 70%. While other POGs on base walk around with their AA wings and AB wings.

What will be the alternate events for this new ACRT for those with permanent profiles?

There is no scoring or standards yet. Only proposed standards. They are starting field testing in October this year through October 2019. They have said they could remove things or change things during testing.

Right now the proposed standards aren't based on gender or age - it's about MOS. From the proposed it said like high intensity MOSs would have a different minimum than significant MOSs and then to moderate MOSs. Also they aren't sure if they're going to have it by MOS or if it goes by the unit you're assigned. SO my MOS would be moderate - but if I get assigned to an infantry unit would I have to score by the high intensity standard which would be the combat MOSs or just moderate?

Nothing has been worked out. In fact, remember in 2012 when they said they were doing an APRT and ACRT until they did field testing and then it fell apart? No one knows for sure what's going to happen.

This has yet to be decided as to how schoolhouses will score the test.
