Cutting Score Tips

[rbenca]

I was just thinking that maybe everyone could list ways of upping their scores, I mean what do you do? MCI's, Marinenet, College Courses, etc... Believe it or not, I have realized that there are a lot of Marine's that don't know about a lot of options to get their score's up and maybe if everyone posted some thoughts and ideas it could help out that Marine that has been falling short! Thanks!

Tips? There is nothing secret about the way composite scores are calculated.
Your options are:
-Ensure the factors under your control like education are maxed out
-PT more so your physical fitness tests are higher next time you take them
-Get good mentoring with high shooters you know so that next time you qual you do better
-Be a well rounded Marine and good at your job so you receive the pro/con marks you deserve.

When I was in, college courses counted 10 points, MCI's counted 15. Don't know if it's still that way, but it should be.
