Calculate your legacy Army Physical Fitness Test score. Includes push-ups, sit-ups, and 2-mile run with age and gender-based standards.
Note: The APFT was replaced by the ACFT in October 2020
Each event requires minimum 60 points to pass
| Event | Min (60pts) | Max (100pts) |
|---|---|---|
| Push-ups (2 min) | 40 | 75 |
| Sit-ups (2 min) | 50 | 80 |
| 2-Mile Run | 17:00 | 13:00 |
Historical Note: The APFT was the Army's standard fitness test from 1980 to 2020. It was replaced by the ACFT (Army Combat Fitness Test) to better assess combat readiness. This calculator remains useful for historical reference and legacy score comparison.
The Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) was the Army's standard fitness assessment from 1980 to 2020. It consisted of three events:
Each event was scored from 0-100 points based on performance, with age and gender-specific standards. A minimum of 60 points per event was required to pass, for a minimum total of 180 points. The maximum possible score was 300 points (100 per event).
The APFT was replaced by the ACFT in October 2020 to provide a more comprehensive and combat-relevant fitness assessment. The ACFT includes six events that better simulate the physical demands of military operations.
Despite being replaced, APFT scores remain in many soldiers' records and may still be referenced for historical or comparative purposes.
No, the APFT was officially replaced by the ACFT (Army Combat Fitness Test) in October 2020. However, this calculator remains useful for historical reference, legacy score comparison, and units that may still use APFT standards during transition periods.
A passing score required a minimum of 60 points in each of the three events (push-ups, sit-ups, and 2-mile run) for a total minimum of 180 points. The maximum possible score was 300 points.
The APFT had different scoring standards based on age groups (17-21, 22-26, 27-31, etc.) and gender. Generally, standards became more lenient with age, and there were different requirements for male and female soldiers.
The APFT had 3 events (push-ups, sit-ups, run) focused on general fitness. The ACFT has 6 events designed to better assess combat-specific fitness and functional strength. The ACFT is also gender and age-neutral with the same standards for all soldiers.
The APFT was typically administered twice per year for all soldiers. Additional diagnostic tests could be conducted for training purposes, but only record tests counted toward official scoring and promotion points.
No, the Army now uses ACFT scores for promotion points. However, APFT scores in your records from before the transition may still be considered in some administrative contexts. Check with your unit S1 for specific policies.
Scores of 270+ (90 points per event) were considered excellent. A perfect score of 300 was highly respected and demonstrated exceptional physical fitness. Scores of 240-269 were considered above average.
The Army replaced the APFT with the ACFT to better assess combat readiness. The ACFT's six events more closely simulate physical tasks required in combat situations, including power, strength, and functional movement patterns.
