Warning for exemptions! – Air Force PT Test - USAF PT Calculator Review

Easy to use, however there is a major problem! This does not properly calculate for exemptions. AFI 36-2905 paragraph 3.10.4 states that with exemptions, the score will be calculated based on the percentage of the testable components. So let's take a theoretical 30-35 year old male (me) who is exempt from sit-ups and the run (but not cardio exempt). This app says I can do 27 push-ups, pass the 2km walk (which is counted as an exemption for scoring purposes), have a 39" waist and pass with an 87.6. This is incorrect because I get 5/10 points for the push-ups and 12.6/20 for the waist. The calculation for this is as follows: 5+12.6=17.6 ... (17.6/30)*100 = 0.59*100 = 59%. Major difference, and to pass with the same waist size, I'd have to max out those push-ups (at least 57): 10+12.6=22.6 ... (22.6/30)*100 = 0.75*100 = 75%. The discrepancy is because this app is applying full points to the exempted components when it should have removed them. So in my example above, it added the full 10 points from the sit-ups and 60 points for the run, then divided by a possible 100 points. So this app calculated: 5+12.6+10+60=87.6 ... I don't even need to finish that, you can see that's the end result (because if I divide by 100 then multiply by 100, it will be the original number) and is exactly what the app came up with. If this gets fixed, then the app will be great.
