Calculate your Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test (PFT) or Combat Fitness Test (CFT) score with age and gender standards.
Note: Marines must achieve at least 150 points total (3rd Class) to pass. Each event is scored 0-100 points for a maximum of 300 points total.
The PFT measures physical fitness through three events:
The CFT evaluates combat-related physical tasks:
Both tests are administered annually. The PFT emphasizes general fitness while the CFT focuses on combat-specific physical readiness.
A minimum of 150 points (3rd Class) is required to pass either test. The maximum score is 300 points. 1st Class (235+) is considered excellent, while 2nd Class (200-234) is above average.
Both tests are typically administered annually. The PFT and CFT are conducted during different periods to allow adequate preparation time between tests.
Yes, Marines can choose either pull-ups or push-ups for the PFT. However, pull-ups are the preferred option and generally result in higher scores. The choice should be made based on individual strength.
Failing either test can result in adverse administrative action, impact on promotions, and enrollment in a remedial physical training program. Multiple failures may lead to administrative separation.
Yes, standards for pull-ups/push-ups and run times differ by gender. However, both genders must meet minimum standards for their respective categories. The CFT has gender-neutral standards for most events.
The PFT measures general physical fitness (strength, endurance, cardiovascular), while the CFT assesses combat-specific functional fitness through events that simulate battlefield movements and tasks.
Medical waivers or limitations may be granted for documented injuries or conditions. However, chronic inability to meet standards may impact career progression. Consult with medical personnel for proper documentation.
PFT and CFT scores are factored into the composite score for promotions. Higher scores (1st Class) can significantly improve promotion competitiveness, while failures can result in loss of promotion eligibility.
