Army Pt Test Calculator
Estimate your Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) score from the three classic events: push-ups, sit-ups, and the 2-mile run, scored by your age group and gender. You get per-event points out of 100, the total out of 300, a pass/fail verdict, and pointers to your weakest event. Note: the APFT is the legacy test; the Army’s test of record is now the Army Fitness Test (AFT). This page scores the test a generation of soldiers trained to, as an unofficial estimate.
Unofficial estimate using a linear approximation of the FM 7-22 APFT scoring tables. For record, use the official Army scoring tables; the Army’s current test of record is the AFT.
Worked example, checked against this exact tool
Male, age 25: 70 push-ups, 80 sit-ups, 14:30 2-mile run. Push-ups: 90 points. Sit-ups: 87 points. Run: 83 points. Total: 260 / 300. Every event clears 60, so the verdict is PASS (270+ is outstanding). The weakest event is the run at 83: shaving about 20 seconds buys roughly 4 more points, the cheapest path to a higher total.
How APFT scoring works
Each of the three events scores 0–100 points, for a 300-point total. The minimum to pass is 60 points in every event (180 total): a 100/100/59 is a fail. At 270+ the Army rated performance outstanding. Standards are set by age group and gender, so the same run time scores differently at 22 and at 42. The tool applies those brackets for you.
Why this is an estimate, not the official tables
The official FM 7-22 scoring tables are discrete lookups with uneven point steps; this tool uses a smooth linear approximation of them. Near the 60-point minimums it matches well (the minimum reps are exact); at the top end the real tables award 100 points sooner than the straight line does. For training and goal-setting the estimate is fine; for anything official, check the published Army tables.
The APFT is the legacy test
The APFT (push-ups, sit-ups, 2-mile run) was the Army’s fitness test for decades before the Army Combat Fitness Test replaced it, and the ACFT has since given way to the Army Fitness Test (AFT) as the test of record. If you are preparing for an actual record test, train to the current AFT events. This calculator remains useful for the large community that still trains to, and is tested on, the classic three-event format.
Train the weakest event first
Total score is the sum, so points are cheapest where you are weakest: ten more push-ups when you are at 50 buys far more than ten more when you are at 90. The tool names your lowest-scoring event after every calculation. As a rule of thumb, the run usually decides pass/fail for most soldiers, because it is the hardest event to cram for.
What competing calculators miss
EasyCalculation’s APFT tool scores the three events but offers no age-bracket nuance on the page and no training direction. The fluenthome-style guides explain the events and mention the ACFT transition but have no interactive scoring at all. Nobody labels the approximation honestly, and nobody tells you which event to train. This page does all four: fast scoring by age and gender, pass/fail with the 60-per-event rule, weakest-event guidance, and a clear statement that the APFT is legacy and this is an estimate.
Frequently asked questions
What are the three APFT events?
Push-ups (2 minutes), sit-ups (2 minutes), and the 2-mile run. Each scores 0–100 points.
What is a passing APFT score?
At least 60 points in every event, 180 total. A 100/100/59 is a fail because one event is under 60.
What is a good APFT score?
270+ out of 300 was rated outstanding. 180–269 passes; under 180, or any event under 60, fails.
Is the APFT still the Army fitness test?
No. The APFT is legacy; the Army moved to the ACFT and then to the Army Fitness Test (AFT) as the test of record. This calculator scores the classic APFT format.
How accurate is this calculator?
It is an unofficial estimate using a linear approximation of the FM 7-22 tables. It matches well near the 60-point minimums; use official tables for record.
Do standards differ by age and gender?
Yes. Minimum reps and maximum run times shift by age group and gender; the tool applies the bracket for the age and gender you enter.
How many push-ups do I need to pass?
It depends on your bracket: for example, 42 for men 17–21 and 19 for women 17–21 score the 60-point minimum. Enter your numbers to see your bracket.
How fast must the 2-mile run be?
Also bracket-dependent: men 17–21 must beat 15:54 for 60 points. The calculator shows your event score from your time.
Which event should I train first?
Your lowest-scoring event: points are cheapest there. The tool names it after each calculation.
Can I use this for the AFT?
No. The AFT has different events (deadlift, sprint-drag-carry, plank, and others). This page scores only the three-event APFT.
