Same raw scores, two totals
A 25-year-old entered at the male 60-point performance on every event scores 300 points. On the General standard that card is PASS because the required total is 300. On the Combat standard the per-event points stay the same, and the card is FAIL because the required total is 350. The raw performances are a 150 lb deadlift, 14 hand-release push-ups, a 2:31 sprint-drag-carry, a 1:25 plank, and a 19:45 2-mile run.
Female Soldiers on the General standard use the female tables for those raw conversions. A female Soldier in one of the combat specialties uses the male tables and the 350-point total. The score chart by age and sex shows both tables. Passing lines and the 100-point cap are on minimum and maximum AFT scores.
