What is a good ACFT score?

What happens if I fail one event but pass the rest?

Does my age affect my ACFT score?

What replaced the leg tuck on the ACFT?

The ACFT is the official fitness test for all U.S. Army soldiers. It replaced the old APFT and uses six events to measure your strength, power, and endurance. Each event is scored from 0 to 100 points, so the highest total score you can get is 600. You need to meet a minimum score on every single event and hit a minimum total score to pass.

This tool uses the official Army scoring tables from FM 7-22. You can also set your MOS physical demand category — Heavy, Significant, or Moderate — to see if you meet the higher standards your job requires. The results update instantly with a full breakdown, a bar chart, and a clear pass or fail status for each event.

What Is the ACFT?

The ACFT stands for Army Combat Fitness Test. It is the official fitness test used by the U.S. Army to measure how strong and fit a soldier is. The ACFT replaced the old APFT (Army Physical Fitness Test) and became the standard test for all soldiers in 2022. Every soldier must pass this test to stay in good standing.

The 6 ACFT Events

The ACFT has six events that test different parts of your body and fitness:

3-Rep Max Deadlift (MDL) – Lift the heaviest weight you can for three reps. This tests your leg and back strength. Planning your training loads? Our 1RM Calculator can help you estimate your one-rep max from any rep count.
Standing Power Throw (SPT) – Throw a 10-pound medicine ball backward over your head as far as you can. This tests explosive power.
Hand Release Push-Up (HRP) – Do as many push-ups as you can in two minutes, lifting your hands off the ground at the bottom of each rep. This tests upper body strength and endurance.
Sprint-Drag-Carry (SDC) – A shuttle run where you sprint, drag a sled, carry kettlebells, and sprint again. This tests speed, agility, and total body strength. A faster time means a better score.
Plank (PLK) – Hold a plank position for as long as you can up to 3 minutes and 40 seconds. This tests your core strength.
Two-Mile Run (2MR) – Run two miles as fast as you can. This tests your cardio endurance. A faster time means a better score. You can use our Running Pace Calculator to plan your mile splits, or check out the VO2 Max Calculator to gauge your aerobic fitness level.

How ACFT Scoring Works

Each event is scored from 0 to 100 points. Your total score adds up all six events for a maximum of 600 points. There are different scoring standards based on your situation:

Combat Standard (Gender-Neutral) – You need at least 60 points per event and 350 points total to pass.
General Standard (Gender-Normed) – Scoring tables differ for males and females. You need at least 60 points per event and 360 points total.
MOS Physical Demand Categories – Some Army jobs require higher scores. Heavy and Significant demand jobs need 440 total points with 65 or 70 points per event.
