First Army Academy Practice Test

Do leaders need to be present to receive a T or T- rating?

No Yes Sometimes Only for T ratings

Correct Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Direct observation of a leader in action is essential for T or T- ratings. These ratings hinge on how a leader conducts themselves during real-time tasks—how they set intent, communicate, motivate, and adapt under pressure. If the leader isn’t present, evaluators can’t witness those leadership behaviors firsthand, making an accurate rating impossible. Presence demonstrates accountability and provides the benchmark the criteria are built around. So, the rating is not reliable when the leader is absent, and typically it isn’t awarded or would require rescheduling to when the leader can participate.
