What is a good AFT score, and what is the maximum

How the total is built

The deadlift, hand-release push-up, sprint-drag-carry, plank and 2 mile run each score from 0 to 100 points. The grader converts each raw result to points with the score tables and enters the total on the scorecard. Five events at 100 points make 500.

The maximum is not printed as a single number in the documents. It follows from the five 100 point rows.

What passing takes

A soldier passes with at least 60 points in each event. Army Directive 2025-06 sets that line for every specialty. Combat specialties also need a total of at least 350. The ATP calls a soldier who misses 60 on any event a test failure.

Two sample scorecards in the ATP show the difference. The age 25 soldier in the first sample scored 75, 71, 61, 73 and 64 for a total of 344. Every event is above 60, so the general standard is met, and the total is 6 points under the combat line of 350. The age 26 soldier in the third sample scored 85, 82, 65, 92 and 79 for 403.

What 70, 80, 90 and 100 points take

These marks are for the M|C column, which men use on the general standard and every soldier uses on the combat standard. They are the lowest result that earns at least that many points. The tables skip some numbers, so a row for 80 points can be a result that earns 81. The women's column on the general standard has its own marks in the AFT chart with every age group's 100 point marks.

Ages 17 to 21:

Army Fitness Test results for 60 to 100 points, ages 17 to 21, men and the combat standard (column M|C)

Points	Deadlift (lb)	Push-ups	Sprint-drag-carry	Plank	2 mile run
60	150	15	2:28	1:30	19:57
70	200	28	2:03	2:02	18:35
80	250	37	1:53	2:35	17:13
90	300	46	1:43	3:08	15:39
100	340	58	1:29	3:40	13:22

Ages 57 to 61:

Army Fitness Test results for 60 to 100 points, ages 57 to 61, men and the combat standard (column M|C)

Points	Deadlift (lb)	Push-ups	Sprint-drag-carry	Plank	2 mile run
60	140	10	3:12	1:10	23:36
70	150	13	2:43	1:42	21:00
80	170	18	2:29	2:15	19:45
90	180	29	2:17	2:47	18:17
100	250	46	1:58	3:20	15:28

Higher is better for the deadlift, push-ups and plank. Lower is better for the sprint-drag-carry and the run. The same 60 points asks for a 2:28 sprint-drag-carry at 17 to 21 and a 3:12 at 57 to 61.

Why a total can mislead

Because 60 is the floor in each event, 300 is the lowest passing total and 500 the highest. The combat line of 350 works out to an average of 70 points over five events.

The split matters as much as the sum. Five events at 70 points make 350 and pass the combat standard. Four events at 100 and one at 0 make 400 and fail, because an event under 60 fails the test. On the general standard the pass line is set per event, so the total alone never decides it.

AFT promotion points for sergeant and staff sergeant

Army Regulation 600-8-19, dated 6 March 2026, turns the AFT total into promotion points for sergeant and staff sergeant. The most is 120 points, for a total of 500. Its Table 3-4 gives the points for each total.

A soldier must reach the minimum passing score in each required event to earn any of these points. The regulation uses the last record test, even when an earlier score in the past 12 months was higher.

A soldier on a permanent profile gets 60 points for each waived event and for a passed alternate event, with actual points for the events taken. Army Directive 2025-06 gives combat specialty soldiers 70 points in those cases for these promotions. The regulation prints 60 and does not mention the 70.

What the documents tie to a score

Four places in Army Directive 2025-06, Army Directive 2026-07 and the ATP depend on a score.

• Pass or fail: 60 in every event, and 350 in total for combat specialties.
• Combat specialty soldiers who pass the general standard but not the combat standard are subject to in-service reclassification or utilization according to the needs of the Army.
• Combat soldiers on a permanent profile need an average of 70 points on the events they take.
• Evaluation reports show pass or fail and the actual points.

None of these documents describes a good, excellent or top tier score. A total of 350 or more clears every pass line the documents set, as long as every event is at least 60.
