That TETRA class was filled with prior-experience hires that didn't apply for N90. They were off the Previous Experience announcement from last fall I believe, and HR was offering N90 to people from the Northeast generally.
So I think there's a decent chance (90%??) that the FAA will retain TETRA-failures for somewhere until they start having classes that applied specifically for N90 (still a risk to take though.) Especially since they've already had tower experience and the FAA has apparently sent the one to PBI and not a tracon-only. (with the new PPT out, I think it'd be smart to send the failures to AZO and BUF to get their numbers up for the consolidations.)
Once the FAA decides who they're selecting to be full time TETRA evaluators, and the N90-specific-bid hires start showing up to the Academy, then that's when I see the FAA terminating the students that don't pass TETRA.
The tower evaluators have been certified to grade RTF, just waiting for the go-ahead from the big-wigs.

Yes. On the horizon is RTF becoming graded again for the TETRA path, so they would have three exit points....Basics, RTF, and TETRA.So for that person, am I correct in assuming the only real pass fail point was basics?
