They can fail a certain number of tests and still pass the class. As I recall my son explaining it to me, each test is assigned a point value, and they need a certain number of points in order to pass the class. I don't know if you can fail an entire class (subject) and still graduate. I remember at the end of power school, my son said he wasn't going to study for one test because he already had enough points to pass that class, instead he studied for the comp. exam.

Beglish, sounds like your son is pretty confident. He needs to keep it above 2.5 and pass the comps to graduate. My son failed a test in power school and kept on studying hard not to fall behind on that failed matter. He graduated. Your son will graduate too. He just needs to keep giving it his best. Best wishes to your sailor.

Thank you BoyWonderMom! I hope the confidence keeps up - seems he'll need it! It helps a lot to hear of your son's experience, and success. Best wishes to your sailor too!

My son struggled up until the end. There were a few who failed two weeks prior to graduation.
This is one of the hardest things to get through. Tell him to keep on keeping on and he can do it!!!
Mine graduated last year and has finally finished all of his qualifying on the ship.
Home soon after his first deployment. I can't wait to see him.

Wow, that's an inspiring story! I think my sailor has the persistence needed, though it does feel like an uphill climb. I wrote a "you can do it" letter and keep encouraging him.at every conversation. It must be a whole new experience having your sailor on a ship. Enjoy your reunion and thanks so much for the reply to my question.

My son failed 1 test and it dropped his GPA to 2.45 and he was out week 9 of power school. He had been sick with some stomach virus and diarrhea. He of course would not go to medical it's just not his way. He is a suck it up and own it No excuses kinda of kid. He never recycled. He was never in trouble. He has now been in the department of transient personnel waiting for orders. He wanted to do Navy Seal. They said no he had to do his 2 years on a sub 1st. He will be an MM AUX.

Sorry when I reread my post it did not sound positive. Just keep praying for your son and know that God has a plan. My son is ok with being a MM AUX. He plans on trying for Navy Seal in 2 years. That would have been his 1st choice anyway but he knew I would worry so he chose the NUKE program.

I have never posted much because it was so rough for my son that I was afraid he couldn't make it. However, God works in many ways, and the son graduated prototype on Friday. I think they all experience bad scores at some point in the pipeline. The main thing is to not give up.
