How the ACFT Score Calculator Works
The Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) is a six-event physical fitness assessment used by the United States Army. Each event is scored on a 100-point scale for a maximum total score of 600 points. To pass, soldiers must score at least 60 points on each event and achieve a minimum total score of 360 points. This calculator uses linear interpolation between established scoring benchmarks to determine your score for each event.
The ACFT replaced the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) as the official fitness test. It is designed to better assess combat readiness by testing a broader range of physical fitness domains including strength, power, agility, endurance, and cardiovascular fitness. The test is gender- and age-neutral for scoring purposes.
ACFT Events and Scoring Standards
The six ACFT events test different aspects of physical fitness. The 3 Repetition Maximum Deadlift (MDL) tests lower body and grip strength with weights ranging from 180 to 340 pounds. The Standing Power Throw (SPT) measures explosive power by throwing a 10-pound medicine ball. Hand Release Push-Ups (HRP) test upper body muscular endurance. The Sprint-Drag-Carry (SDC) is a timed event testing speed, agility, and anaerobic capacity. The Plank (PLK) tests core strength and endurance. The Two-Mile Run (2MR) assesses aerobic endurance.
Scoring uses a tiered point system. A score of 100 on any event represents exceptional performance (e.g., 340 lb deadlift, 13:30 two-mile run), while 60 is the minimum passing score. Scores between benchmark values are calculated using linear interpolation for precision.
Tips to Improve Your ACFT Score
- Deadlift (MDL) — focus on progressive overload with hex bar deadlifts, squats, and hip hinges.
- Power Throw (SPT) — practice medicine ball throws, kettlebell swings, and plyometric exercises.
- Push-Ups (HRP) — build volume with push-up variations, bench press, and overhead press.
- Sprint-Drag-Carry (SDC) — practice the actual event sequence and build anaerobic capacity with shuttle runs.
- Plank (PLK) — train with planks, dead bugs, hollow holds, and anti-rotation exercises.
- Two-Mile Run (2MR) — mix interval training with steady-state runs, targeting 30+ miles per week.
ACFT Pass/Fail Criteria
To pass the ACFT, soldiers must meet two criteria: score at least 60 points on every individual event AND achieve a minimum total score of 360 points. Failing any single event results in an overall failure regardless of total score. The ACFT is administered twice per year, and soldiers who fail have the opportunity to retake the test after a prescribed reconditioning period.
