What is the purpose of 'Best Effort'?. Why continue past what is needed to achieve a pass?. Do you get more pay, less guard duties, a day off - No, so there is no incentive to better the pass mark?.

Years ago, it was mandatory to STOP when you had reached the requisite level, just in case you had a medical problem etc.

What would happen now, if a person suffered a heart attack (or slipped on the shiny gum floor) whilst running well above the pass mark, would MOD be liable, as they let him continue, when they have a duty of care etc etc.

As far as I am aware, the RAFFT is solely designed to most people off once a year, passing it or failing it has never affected the way I do my job, or the way those around me do theirs, just a justification to have PT (can't really use the I, as they very rarely instruct anyone) staff poncing about trying to impress the girlies.
