You can fail. You can't even enlist with a score of 11 without a waiver, and that would be a sight to behold for a score that low.

Strangely enough, the minimum score is significantly higher for GED holders[0]. The minimum Army score goes from 31 to 50.

TIL, then. I know abilities have a range, and some people have a bad day, but my personal impression of that test was that it would be impossible to fail it, as such.
