How AFT scoring works
The Army Fitness Test is five events, taken in order: the 3-repetition maximum deadlift (MDL), the hand-release push-up (HRP), the sprint-drag-carry (SDC), the plank (PLK), and the 2-mile run (2MR). Each event is worth 0 to 100 points. The highest possible total is 500. The calculator above looks up your raw score on the official scale for your age group and standard, then adds the five point values.
Deadlift weight, push-up repetitions, and plank time score higher as the number goes up. Sprint-drag-carry time and 2-mile run time score higher as the clock goes down. A blank or zero entry scores 0 points, so enter every event you completed. Age groups on the scales are 17-21, 22-26, 27-31, 32-36, 37-41, 42-46, 47-51, 52-56, 57-61, 62+. Pick the bracket that contains your age on test day. The standards page has the full point-by-point charts for every event.
The scoring scales in this calculator took effect on June 1, 2025, after approval on May 15, 2025. They are still the tables in use in 2026. The Army Fitness Test became the test of record that same day, June 1, 2025, under Army Directive 2025-06, for the Active Component, the Army Reserve, and the Army National Guard.
General standard and Combat standard
Passing is two checks, and both have to be true. Every event must be at least 60 points, and the total must reach the standard for your specialty. The General standard requires 300 points. The Combat standard requires 350 points. Select Male or Female in the calculator for the General standard. Select Combat MOS for the Combat standard.
General standard
Non-combat specialties. Separate male and female tables, both age-normed. Minimum 60 points on each event and 300 total. Active Duty Soldiers in these specialties take a record AFT twice a year. Reserve and National Guard Soldiers take it once a year.
Combat standard
24 combat MOSs and AOCs. Sex-neutral: every Soldier in these specialties is scored on the male tables, still adjusted for age. Minimum 60 points on each event and 350 total. The same list determines who takes the Combat Field Test.
Army Directive 2026-07 lists the combat specialties as 11A, 11B, 11C, 11Z, 19A, 19C, 19D, 19K, 19Z, 18A, 180A, 18B, 18C, 18D, 18E, 18F, 18Z, 12A, 12B, 12D, 13A, 13F, 89D, 89E. They cover Infantry, Armor, Special Forces, combat engineers, field artillery, Army divers, and explosive ordnance disposal. 12D, 89D, and 89E were added in April 2026. The Combat standard took effect January 1, 2026 for the Active Component and June 1, 2026 for the Reserve and National Guard. The combat MOS list has the duty title for each code.
A combat-specialty Soldier who scores under 350 total, or under 60 on any event, and who does not have a waiver, is retested. The retest window is 90 days, or 180 days for Reserve Component Soldiers who are not AGR and are not on active-duty orders of 365 days or more. A second consecutive failure of the same test can bring mandatory reclassification or separation, and suspension of favorable actions. On the General standard, two consecutive failed record tests can lead to involuntary separation. Evaluation reports show pass or fail and the points earned on the record AFT.
Since Army Directive 2026-07, Soldiers in those 24 specialties in the Regular Army, AGR, or on active-duty orders of 365 days or more take one record AFT and one record Combat Field Test each year, at least four months apart. Other Reserve Component combat-specialty Soldiers alternate a record AFT and a record CFT each calendar year. The Combat Field Test guide covers the seven events, the 30-minute limit, and the diagnostic year that runs from April 17, 2026 through April 16, 2027. Record CFT testing starts April 17, 2027. The CFT is pass or fail and is taken in addition to the AFT. Compare the two tests on the AFT versus CFT page.
Minimum performance for 60 points, by age
These are the raw performances that score exactly 60 points on the official scales. For the deadlift, the number is the minimum pounds. For the hand-release push-up, it is the minimum repetitions. For the plank, it is the shortest hold that still scores 60. For the sprint-drag-carry and the 2-mile run, it is the slowest time that still scores 60. A slower time on those two events scores fewer points. Ages 17 through 21 share one column, then the brackets step by five years through 62 and older.
Hitting 60 on every event produces a 300 total when each event lands on that line. That total meets the General standard and is short of the Combat standard, which needs 350. Combat specialties use the male table below for the raw-to-points conversion. Female Soldiers in a combat specialty are scored on that male table, and on the 350-point total.

MDL is pounds on the 3-repetition maximum deadlift. HRP is hand-release push-up repetitions. SDC and 2MR are maximum times (minutes:seconds). PLK is the minimum plank hold. The AFT standards and score charts list every point from 0 to 100, and the downloads page has the official scoring-scales PDF (June 2025).
Worked examples
The scores below are calculated with the same function as the calculator. The first card enters the 60-point performance for a 25-year-old on the male tables and grades it on the General standard. The second card uses those same raw numbers on the Combat standard. The third card keeps the male General standard and shortens the plank to the 50-point hold for that age group. The fourth card is the 60-point line for a 25-year-old on the female tables.
Age 25, male, General standard, each event at 60 points
Raw performances are the male 60-point thresholds for ages 22–26. Required total is 300.
| Event | Performance | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 3-Rep Maximum Deadlift | 150 lb | 60 |
| Hand-Release Push-Up | 14 reps | 60 |
| Sprint-Drag-Carry | 2:31 | 60 |
| Plank | 1:25 | 60 |
| 2-Mile Run | 19:45 | 60 |
300 total — PASS (required total 300). Passed with 300 points!
The same performances on the Combat standard
The point values come from the male tables again. The required total is 350, so a 300 built only from 60s does not pass the Combat standard.
| Event | Performance | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 3-Rep Maximum Deadlift | 150 lb | 60 |
| Hand-Release Push-Up | 14 reps | 60 |
| Sprint-Drag-Carry | 2:31 | 60 |
| Plank | 1:25 | 60 |
| 2-Mile Run | 19:45 | 60 |
300 total — FAIL (required total 350). Total score (300) below required 350
Age 25, male, General standard, plank at the 50-point hold
Deadlift, push-ups, sprint-drag-carry, and the 2-mile run stay on the 60-point line. The plank is the 50-point performance for this age group.
| Event | Performance | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 3-Rep Maximum Deadlift | 150 lb | 60 |
| Hand-Release Push-Up | 14 reps | 60 |
| Sprint-Drag-Carry | 2:31 | 60 |
| Plank | 1:20 | 50 |
| 2-Mile Run | 19:45 | 60 |
290 total — FAIL (required total 300; below 60: PLK). Failed events: PLK (below 60 points). Total score (290) below required 300
Age 25, female, General standard, each event at 60 points
Raw performances are the female 60-point thresholds for ages 22–26. Required total is 300.
| Event | Performance | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 3-Rep Maximum Deadlift | 120 lb | 60 |
| Hand-Release Push-Up | 11 reps | 60 |
| Sprint-Drag-Carry | 3:15 | 60 |
| Plank | 1:25 | 60 |
| 2-Mile Run | 22:45 | 60 |
300 total — PASS (required total 300). Passed with 300 points!
The five events
The deadlift is a 3-repetition maximum on the hex bar. The hand-release push-up is a two-minute event: each repetition returns the hands to the ground under the shoulders. The sprint-drag-carry covers 250 meters in five 50-meter shuttles with a sprint, a sled drag, a lateral shuffle, a carry, and a final sprint. The plank is a continuous hold. The 2-mile run is the aerobic event. Practice the tested movement, then use the event guides for the training that supports it.

The AFT training overview groups the events by strength, muscular endurance, anaerobic work, and the 2-mile run. Test-week nerves are covered in pre-test anxiety before the AFT. For the grader running the test, the AFT grader assistant has timers, event scripts, and scoring for up to four Soldiers at a time.
From the ACFT to the AFT
The Army Fitness Test replaced the Army Combat Fitness Test on June 1, 2025. The Standing Power Throw is gone, so the test is five events and the maximum is 500 points. Combat specialties moved to a sex-neutral standard with a higher minimum total: 350 points, against 300 for everyone else. The Combat standard’s effective dates are January 1, 2026 for Active Duty and June 1, 2026 for Reserve and National Guard. The point scales themselves remain the June 1, 2025 version.
Body composition is separate from the AFT score. Army Directive 2026-13, effective July 7, 2026, made waist-to-height ratio the Army Body Composition Program standard. The passing ratio is under 0.55, truncated to three decimals, for every age and sex. That directive ended the exemption that had applied at an AFT score of 465 or higher under Army Directive 2025-17. Use the Army waist-to-height ratio calculator to check a measurement. Saved tape-test history can still appear on an account dashboard; new WHtR results are not stored there.
A permanent profile changes which events are tested. The Soldier completes every primary event the profile allows. When the profile prevents the 2-mile run, an approved alternate aerobic event is scored go or no-go. For combat specialties, the Army’s guidance is an average of 70 points across the events they can take, plus a passing alternate aerobic event when one is required. A combat-specialty Soldier whose permanent profile prevents any primary AFT event cannot take the CFT and is evaluated for reclassification, unless a general officer waiver is approved. A temporary profile means the Soldier waits for medical clearance before a record AFT. The Army Fitness Test FAQ collects the profile, frequency, and failure rules in one place.
No directive has replaced the five-event AFT. On September 30, 2026 the Secretary of War said future service physical tests should need only a stopwatch and a clipboard. Events, standards, and a timeline for that idea have not been published. This page scores the five-event test of record.

After you calculate, the AFT performance snapshot places a score against more than 136,000 recorded results, by age group and sex. The number on this site updates as more scores are added. Standards for a single event, including the 100-point line, are on the score charts. Graders who need a lane card, FM 7-22, or DA Form 705 can use the downloads library.
AFT calculator questions
What is a passing Army Fitness Test score?
Soldiers on the General standard need at least 60 points on every event and 300 points total. That standard covers male and female Soldiers in non-combat specialties, using sex- and age-normed tables. Soldiers in the 24 designated combat MOSs and AOCs use the Combat standard: at least 60 points on every event and 350 points total. The Combat standard is sex-neutral and age-normed, and it uses the male scoring tables.
Which scoring tables does this AFT calculator use?
The calculator uses the official Army Fitness Test scoring scales that took effect on June 1, 2025. Those are still the tables in use. Each of the five events is scored from 0 to 100 points, so the maximum total is 500. The scales were approved on May 15, 2025.
How do the Combat standard and the General standard differ?
The General standard is normed by sex and age group and requires 300 points total. The Combat standard applies to 24 combat specialties, uses the male tables for every Soldier in those specialties, and requires 350 points total. Both standards require 60 points on each event. Army Directive 2026-07 lists the specialties, including 12D, 89D, and 89E added in April 2026.
Does one event under 60 points fail the AFT?
Yes. A Soldier needs at least 60 points on every event. An event below 60 fails the test even when the other four events are high. The total still has to reach 300 on the General standard or 350 on the Combat standard.
Is this Army Fitness Test calculator free?
Yes. You can score a test without an account. The five events are the 3-repetition maximum deadlift, hand-release push-up, sprint-drag-carry, plank, and 2-mile run.
When did the AFT replace the ACFT?
The Army Fitness Test became the test of record on June 1, 2025, for Active Duty, Reserve, and National Guard, under Army Directive 2025-06. It has five events. The ACFT Standing Power Throw was removed. The Combat standard took effect on January 1, 2026 for the Active Component and on June 1, 2026 for the Army Reserve and National Guard.
Does the calculator score alternate aerobic events?
No. The official tables list four alternate aerobic events for a Soldier on a permanent profile who cannot run the 2-mile: a 2.5-mile walk, a 12-km stationary bike, a 1-km swim, and a 5-km row. Each is scored go or no-go against a maximum time. This calculator scores the five primary events only.
