Input your performance data and get instant ACFT score based on the official Army scoring standards.
The Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) scoring system is notoriously complex, with different standards across 10 age groups and 6 demanding events. Soldiers, trainers, and commanders waste valuable time manually cross-referencing dense scoring tables, often making costly calculation errors that can affect career progression, promotion points, and unit readiness. Our ACFT Calculator uses the official March 2022 ACFT standards to instantly compute your exact scores and identify performance gaps, so you can focus on what matters most, achieving peak combat readiness and passing your test with confidence.
🎯 Minimum Passing Standards (60 Points Per Event)
| Event | Male Standards | Female Standards | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Max Deadlift (MDL) | 150 lbs | 120 lbs | 3 repetitions max weight |
| Hand-Release Push-ups (HRP) | 15 reps | 11 reps | 2-minute time limit |
| Sprint/Drag/Carry (SDC) | 2:28 – 3:16* | 3:15 – 4:48* | *Time varies by age group |
| Plank (PLK) | 1:10 – 1:30* | 1:10 – 1:30* | *Time varies by age group |
| 2-Mile Run (2MR) | 19:45 – 23:36* | 22:45 – 25:00* | *Time varies by age group |
TOTAL REQUIRED: 300+ points (60 minimum per event) | MAXIMUM POSSIBLE: 600 points
🔑 Critical Information Every Soldier Must Know
Scoring Breakdown
- Pass/Fail: You must score 60+ points on EVERY event to pass – no exceptions
- Career Impact: ACFT scores affect promotion points, schools, and assignments
- Age Groups: Standards adjust across 10 age brackets (17-21, 22-26, 27-31, 32-36, 37-41, 42-46, 47-51, 52-56, 57-61, 62+)
- No Overall Average: Scoring 90+ on five events won’t save you if you fail one
Test Administration
- Standards Version: Based on March 2022 official ACFT scoring tables
- Event Order: MDL → HRP → SDC → PLK → 2MR (with rest periods)
- Equipment: All equipment must be calibrated and certified
- Weather: Test continues in most conditions; indoor alternatives available
Alternate Events (Profile Required)
Soldiers with permanent medical profiles may substitute the 2MR with:
- 2.5-Mile Walk | 12km Bicycle | 1km Swim | 5km Row
Consequences of Failure
- First Failure: Immediate remedial training and retest within 90 days
- Consecutive Failures: Potential separation processing under AR 635-200
- Flagging: Automatic administrative flag preventing promotions/schools
Training Tips
- Start Early: Begin training 12+ weeks before test date
- Event-Specific: Each event requires dedicated training techniques
- Recovery: Allow 48-72 hours between maximum effort sessions
- Age Considerations: Older soldiers get more lenient time standards but same strength requirements
