For the initial PFA, your count will most likely be accurate. By the final PFA, my RDCs said there shouldn't be anyone failing the pushups or situps. Take from that what you will, but basically if you fail the final PFA, it's because you didn't make the run time. There's no way to fake that.

Also, I thought I needed to meet the "Good" requirements to pass, but it turns out you only have to meet the "Satisfactory". Pretty much everyone in my division made it to "Good" though. My run was 15 seconds off from there, but I was running injured, so I was just happy to be passing haha.
But really, when I entered DEP back in October, I couldn't do any pushups. By the end of bootcamp, I was doing more than enough to pass on my own, and I didn't even PT between the second and final PFAs.
