AFT score calculator for the Army Fitness Test (PT test)

How the AFT is scored

Each event has its own table. Find your age group, read down your column to the best row your result reaches, and that row's number is your points. Add the five numbers for your total.

The age groups run in five year steps from 17 to 21 up to 57 to 61, with one more group for age 62 and over. Each group has two columns. The one labeled M|C is used for men and for the combat standard. The one labeled F is used for women on the general standard.

Higher is better for the deadlift, the push-ups and the plank. Lower is better for the sprint-drag-carry and the run. Some point values have no result printed beside them in a column. Those rows cannot be earned, so your score steps over them to the next row that has a value.

Two events have their own guides: how the Army counts a hand-release push-up and how far the sprint-drag-carry runs.

What you need to pass

Army Directive 2025-06 sets two standards. The general standard asks for at least 60 points in every event, which gives a total of at least 300. The combat standard asks for at least 60 in every event and a total of at least 350.

One event under 60 fails the whole test, however high the total is. A soldier who scores 100 in four events and 59 in the fifth has 459 points and has not passed.

The test replaced the Army Combat Fitness Test on 1 June 2025. The guide on the changes from the ACFT to the AFT lists what is different.

General standard or combat standard

The combat standard applies to soldiers who hold one of the listed combat specialties, whatever unit they serve in. Army Directive 2025-06 named 21 of them across infantry, combat engineers, field artillery, special forces and armor. Army Directive 2026-07 added 12D, 89D and 89E on 17 April 2026, which makes 24.

It took effect on 1 January 2026 for the Regular Army, the Active Guard Reserve and Reserve soldiers on orders of more than 60 days. It took effect on 1 June 2026 for the rest of the Reserve and the National Guard.

The directive calls the combat standard sex-neutral and age-normed. A woman in a combat specialty is scored on the M|C column for her age group, the same column a man of her age reads.

Soldiers in those specialties also take the Combat Field Test, a separate pass or fail test with no points. It does not replace the AFT. The guide on the combat and general standards explains both.

Alternate aerobic events

A soldier with a permanent profile that rules out the run takes one alternate event instead: a 2.5 mile walk, a 12 kilometer bike, a 1 kilometer swim or a 5 kilometer row. Soldiers on a temporary profile do not take a modified test.

The alternate is go or no-go against one time for your age group and column. For ages 17 to 21 on the M|C column the times are 31:00 for the walk, 26:25 for the bike, and 30:48 for the swim or the row. ATP 7-22.01 gives 60 points for a go and 0 for a no-go.

Combat specialty soldiers on a permanent profile must average 70 points on the events they do take. With four scored events that is 280.

The five events and their equipment

ATP 7-22.01 puts the five events in one order on one day, inside a test period of 120 minutes.

1. The 3 repetition maximum deadlift uses a hexagon bar, also called a hex bar, with bumper plates. The ATP says most bars weigh 40 to 60 pounds.
2. The hand-release push-up runs on a common 2 minute clock. The hand-release push-up rules cover what counts.
3. The sprint-drag-carry is 250 meters with a sled and two 40 pound kettlebells. The sprint-drag-carry guide gives the lane and the sled weights.
4. The plank is timed, with the grader calling the elapsed time every 15 seconds.
5. The 2 mile run starts after a 10 minute rest that begins when the last soldier finishes the plank.

The scorecard

The grader records each result on DA Form 705-TEST, the Army Fitness Test Scorecard. The card holds the raw score and the scaled score for every event, and the grader initials each one. The soldier signs the card to confirm the raw scores are correct.

The ATP names the Army Training Information System as the system of record for AFT results. It says height and weight are not required for a valid scorecard.

A worked example from the Army's own sample scorecard

ATP 7-22.01 prints a sample scorecard for a 25 year old sergeant in a combat specialty. The results were a 220 pound deadlift, 27 push-ups, a 2:25 sprint-drag-carry, a 2:09 plank and a 19:15 run.

In the 22 to 26 group those results earn 75, 71, 61, 73 and 64 points. The total is 344. That passes the general standard and falls 6 points short of the combat standard.

A later sample for the same soldier shows 270 pounds, 39 push-ups, 2:13, 3:09 and 17:18. Those earn 85, 82, 65, 92 and 79 points, for a total of 403.

Three things the documents leave open

The score tables carry no notes, and the directives do not cover every case. This calculator makes three readings, and you should know them.

First, a result between two rows earns the lower row's points. No document says so in words, but the sample scorecards in ATP 7-22.01 are scored that way.

Second, the combat standard uses the M|C column. The tables do not explain the label, and the directive only says the standard is sex-neutral.

Third, age 62 is scored in the last group. The table labels that group "Over 62" right after the 57 to 61 group, which leaves age 62 itself without a label.

One of the four sample scorecards also disagrees with the tables. It gives 67 points for a 2:30 sprint-drag-carry at age 26, where the table gives 60. This calculator follows the table.
