- Enter your raw scores for each of the six events. Weights in pounds for deadlift, meters for standing power throw, reps for pushups, and times (mm:ss) for SDC, plank, and 2-mile run.
- Points appear instantly for each event, scored 0-100 based on the official ACFT scoring tables.
- Your total score is summed automatically. Maximum is 600 (100 per event); passing minimum is 360 (60 per event).
- Important: you must score 60 or higher on every individual event AND hit 360 total to pass. A 90 on five events but a 55 on one event is still a failure.

How to Use the ACFT Calculator
ACFT Scoring Explained
The ACFT (Army Combat Fitness Test) replaced the APFT in 2022 and shifted to a fully gender-neutral standard in 2023. Six events each scored 0-100 by lookup table:
Event Score = lookup(raw performance, scoring table) Total Score = sum of all 6 event scores Pass = total ≥ 360 AND every event ≥ 60
Each event uses a piecewise scoring curve calibrated by the Army Center for Initial Military Training (USACIMT). The curves emphasize functional fitness over absolute strength or endurance, with diminishing returns at the extremes — a 350 lb deadlift earns 100 points, but so does 400 lb.
| Event | Tests | Format |
|---|---|---|
| 3-Rep Max Deadlift | Lower body strength | Best of 3 reps with hex bar |
| Standing Power Throw | Explosive total-body power | 10-lb medicine ball overhead backward throw |
| Hand-Release Pushup | Upper body endurance | Max reps in 2 minutes |
| Sprint-Drag-Carry | Anaerobic capacity | 5 × 50 m shuttles with sled drag and kettlebell carry |
| Plank | Core endurance | Max hold time |
| Two-Mile Run | Aerobic capacity | Standard track or measured course |
ACFT Score Targets: Promotion, Tabs, and Special Operations
The ACFT minimum of 360 points keeps you in the Army. But specific career paths and promotion boards favor much higher scores. Knowing your target lets you focus training on the events with the most upside.
| Goal | Target Total Score | Key Events |
|---|---|---|
| Pass the ACFT | 360 | 60 in every event |
| Competitive promotion (E5 board) | 450+ | Balanced; no weak events |
| Competitive promotion (E6, E7 board) | 500+ | Run + plank tend to be deciding events |
| Air Assault School | 450+, run under 16:00 | Two-mile run, sprint-drag-carry |
| Ranger School | 500+, near-max pushups | HRP, run, plank — endurance dominates |
| Special Forces Assessment | 540+ standard, near-max on most events | All events; no weak links allowed |
| Honor graduate, premier units | 570+ | Top 1-2% performance across all events |
Three observations from analyzing real ACFT data across units: (1) The two-mile run is the most-failed event — running has the slowest fitness gains and the highest washout rate. (2) HRP scores correlate strongest with overall ACFT total; pushup proficiency tracks closely with general work capacity. (3) Plank is the most-improvable event quickly — most soldiers can move from a 60 to an 80 in 6-8 weeks of targeted training.
