BOP Program Statement 3906.24 § 6
CRITERIA TO PASS THE PHYSICAL ABILITY TEST
Continuation of employment is contingent upon an individual receiving an overall passing
composite score, which is calculated from the five scores obtained from completing each of the
five test components. Therefore, although individual scores are specified for each event, if an
employee scores below average on one or more components, he/she may be able to compensate for
that score by scoring above average on another component.
The applicant must complete all five test components.
a. Retesting. If an individual fails to receive a passing composite score based on his/her
performance on the five components on the first attempt, he/she will have one more opportunity to
pass. An individual is retested on all five events. Retesting normally takes place within 24 hours.
b. Retest Failure. Since this test is a pass/fail component of ICT II, if an individual fails the
retest, he/she must be sent back to the institution and terminated.
