AFT standards: the Army Fitness Test (PT test) score chart by age

The Army Fitness Test, the US Army PT test since 1 June 2025, scores each of five events from 0 to 100. The minimum is 60 points in every event. Each age group has two columns. Men and everyone on the combat standard read the one labeled M|C. Women on the general standard read the one labeled F.

AFT requirements: two standards, one set of tables

The Army Fitness Test has two pass standards, and both read the same tables. The general standard needs at least 60 points in every event, which makes a total of at least 300. The combat standard needs 60 in every event and a total of at least 350.

One event under 60 fails the test whatever the total is. A soldier must attempt all five events even after failing one.

Army Directive 2025-06 set both standards. On 1 June 2025 the Army Fitness Test took over from the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT), and the score tables took effect that day. The guide to what changed from the ACFT to the AFT sets out the differences.

Who is on the combat standard

Soldiers serving in combat specialties must meet the combat standard. Army Directive 2025-06 listed 21 specialty codes. Army Directive 2026-07 added 12D, 89D and 89E on 17 April 2026, which makes 24.

The combat standard began on 1 January 2026 for the Regular Army, the Active Guard Reserve and Reserve soldiers on orders of more than 60 days. It began on 1 June 2026 for the rest of the Reserve and the National Guard. Every other soldier is on the general standard.

A soldier in a combat specialty who passes the general standard but misses the combat standard is subject to in-service reclassification or utilization under Army Directive 2025-06.

Army PT test scoring: how to read the chart

Points run down the left side and each event has a column. Find your result in the event column and read the points to the left. Higher is better for the deadlift, push-ups and plank. Lower is better for the sprint-drag-carry and the run.

A result between two rows earns the points of the best row it meets, never more. The documents do not print that rule in words. The Army's sample scorecards in ATP 7-22.01 are scored that way, so this chart reads it that way.

Each age group has two columns in the official tables, labeled M|C and F. The tables never say what the labels mean. The chart uses the M|C column for men on the general standard and for everyone on the combat standard, because Army Directive 2025-06 calls the combat standard sex-neutral. Women on the general standard use the F column. That reading is the site's own, not a printed rule.

The age groups run in five year steps from 17 to 21 up to 57 to 61. The last group is printed as "Over 62" right after 57 to 61, so the chart shows it as 62 and over.

What the empty cells mean

Some cells in the official tables hold dashes. The chart shows them as empty cells. No result in that column earns exactly that many points, so a result steps over the row to the next row that has a value.

The deadlift and push-up tables have a row for every point from 100 to 60, and many of those cells are dashes. Under 60 they print only 50, 40, 30, 20, 10 and 0. The sprint-drag-carry, plank and run tables have a row for every point from 100 to 0.

The five events in order

Soldiers take the events in one order on the same day.

1. The 3 repetition maximum deadlift, scored in pounds.
2. The hand-release push-up, scored in repetitions.
3. The sprint-drag-carry, scored by time.
4. The plank, scored by time held.
5. The 2 mile run, scored by time.

A 10 minute rest follows the plank. The whole test must finish inside 120 minutes.

The 2 mile run time for 60 points

The 2 mile run times for every age group are the ones most soldiers look up. On the M|C column the 60 point time runs from 19:45 for ages 22 to 26 and 27 to 31 to 23:36 for ages 57 to 61 and 62 and over. On the F column it runs from 22:45 to 25:00.

The 100 point run for ages 17 to 21 is 13:22 on the M|C column and 16:00 on the F column. These are the Army's score table marks, not averages of what soldiers run.

Alternate events

A soldier on 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. It is go or no-go against one time for the age group and column, and a go counts as 60 points. A temporary profile does not allow a modified test.

On the M|C column the limits for ages 17 to 21 are 31:00 for the walk, 26:25 for the bike and 30:48 for the swim and the row. On the F column they are 34:00, 28:58 and 33:48.

Turning your results into a score
