To pass BCT you have to meet the 50% level of the APFT outlined here: http://www.usarec.army.mil/hq/apa/rc/apft.htm

You also have to meet the weight and height requirements here: http://www.usarec.army.mil/hq/apa/rc/weight.htm

Ive heard all sorts of things. I know that "hooah" is the sort-of official grunt/exclamation/acknowledgement/everything else at West Point, though.

Some TACs will allow short breaks and such on weekends and all. Some people use this time to make phone calls, pig out on real food, etc....

Hooah is an exclamation of joy, acknowledgement, agreement, emotion etc... You basically got the general gist of it. It's the unofficial official "interjection" of the Army - not just West Point.
