I've been reviewing Kerry's records trying to find the record they're talking about. In a file called
Training School Record there are scores for some officer aptitude test Kerry took. It's very blurry and hard to read, but it looks like he scored 58 on one part of the test and 50 on another, whatever that means; maybe someone familiar with whatever test is being referenced can lend more insight. In other records it looks like he was averaging a B in his Naval classes.
