The only PFT that counts is the last one...however if you guys get like over a 90% pass rating on the second PFT then you get an athletic flag, so DONT BE that guy who fails and u loose the flag!

Back to your original question.

When running, everyone wears a lil tracker on their ankle. The timer starts for you when you pass the line that picks up the tracker. There is a TV at the start line so each time you pass you can see how many laps you have run and your pace. Theres a big digital clock to so you can tell what your time is about. Your Petty Officer may decide to run an Alpha male pace and keep you guys from stopping, however thats about all they can do. If you fail your last PFA for whatever reason ( The Run ) You will be on hold. They will not kick you out, but you won't graduate and you will have to do the whole thing over again situps, pushups and run until you pass it. One kid from our division missed the run by 13 seconds. He got sent to another compartment. He didn't graduate with us.

If you get sent away, you basically PT a lot until you pass. You have like a few MONTHS to finally pass it, so don't sweat it.
