ACFT Score Calculator

About the ACFT Score Calculator

This page covers the legacy Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) scoring model with six events — 3 Repetition Maximum Deadlift, Standing Power Throw, Hand Release Push-Ups, Sprint-Drag-Carry, Plank, and 2-Mile Run. The Army Fitness Test (AFT) later replaced the ACFT as the official test of record, so this page should be treated as an archived reference rather than the active Army standard.

The calculator remains useful for older ACFT score sheets, historical comparisons, and users looking up the retired six-event standard. It is not the right page for current AFT scoring, standards, or pass/fail policy.

The worksheet still converts raw legacy ACFT performance into event scores, highlights events below the chosen archived minimums, and summarizes the old six-event total. Use it only in that legacy context.

When This Page Helps

This page is mainly useful when you need to decode or compare older ACFT records after the Army moved to the AFT. It should not be treated as a current test-prep tool for the active Army fitness standard.

How to Use the Inputs

1. Enter your 3 Rep Max Deadlift weight in pounds.
2. Enter your Standing Power Throw distance in meters.
3. Enter the number of Hand Release Push-Ups completed.
4. Enter Sprint-Drag-Carry time in mm:ss format.
5. Enter Plank hold time in mm:ss format.
6. Enter 2-Mile Run time in mm:ss format.
7. Select your Physical Demand Category to determine pass/fail.

Example Calculation

Tips & Best Practices

• The deadlift and 2-mile run are typically the two events with the biggest impact on total score.
• Plank training benefits Sprint-Drag-Carry by improving core stability under fatigue.
• Standing Power Throw technique matters as much as raw strength — practice the overhead backward throw.
• Sprint-Drag-Carry time improves with transitions — practice sled-to-lateral-to-carry quickly.
• Rest at least 5 minutes between events during practice to simulate test conditions.
• Track scores monthly to identify plateaus and adjust training accordingly.

Legacy ACFT Reference

The ACFT was the Army's six-event fitness test before the AFT became the official test of record. This page keeps that older structure available for archived score sheets and historical comparison.

What This Page Still Does

It still converts raw legacy ACFT event results into the old point structure and shows how the older six-event total would have looked.

What It Does Not Do

It does not implement the Army Fitness Test, current Army policy, or current pass/fail guidance for soldiers testing under the new standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What are the ACFT events?

  3 Rep Max Deadlift, Standing Power Throw, Hand Release Push-Ups, Sprint-Drag-Carry, Plank (or Leg Tuck alternate), and 2-Mile Run. Each is scored 0-100 points.

• What is the minimum score to pass?

  Minimum scores vary by Physical Demand Category. For Moderate: 60 pts per event. For Heavy (combat arms): higher minimums around 70-80 pts per event.

• Is the ACFT age- and gender-adjusted?

  The legacy ACFT worksheet on this page uses tier-based standards by Physical Demand Category rather than age/gender-specific scales, though supplementary standards existed for record purposes.

• What replaced the Leg Tuck?

  The Plank replaced the Leg Tuck as the core endurance event. Soldiers perform a forearm plank with minimum time standards based on their category.

• How often is the ACFT administered?

  The ACFT is administered at least twice per year as a record test. Diagnostic tests may be given more frequently at unit commander discretion.

• What is the ACFT Gold Standard?

  Scoring 540+ (average 90 per event) earns the ACFT Gold tab/recognition, signifying exceptional fitness above standard requirements.
