Last verified against DA Form 705 (May 2010) and FM 7-22 (October 2012), Appendix A.
This calculator scores the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT): 2 minutes of push-ups, 2 minutes of sit-ups and a 2-mile run, each scored by age group and sex. The APFT is retired. It was the Army's record fitness test for about 40 years until record testing moved to the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) on 1 October 2022 for Regular Army and Active Guard Reserve soldiers, and the Army Fitness Test (AFT) replaced the ACFT on 1 June 2025.
Use it to read an old scorecard or as a fitness benchmark. To score the test soldiers take today, use the Army Fitness Test calculator.

The Army no longer records APFT scores, so this result is for reference only.
How the APFT was scored
Each event scored from 0 to 100 points on a table for your age group and sex, and the three scores added up to a total out of 300. The sit-up table was the same for men and women.
- PassAt least 60 points in every event and 180 in total. Missing the minimum on any one event failed the whole test.
- Basic Combat TrainingTrainees needed 50 points in each event and 150 in total.
- Top score300, with 100 in each event. FM 7-22 did not allow extended scale scoring, so no event counted for more than 100.
- Between two printed timesA run time between two rows of the table earned the lower of the two point values, as the scorecard instructs. Push-ups and sit-ups have a row for every count.
- Alternate aerobic eventsA soldier on a medical profile who could not run took one alternate event instead: an 800-yard swim, 6.2 miles on a stationary cycle ergometer or a bicycle, or a 2.5-mile walk. Each was graded go or no-go against a time for the soldier's age group and sex, with no points, so this calculator does not score them.

APFT points for men aged 22 to 26
Shown for men aged 22 to 26 until you score a test; then it follows your sex and age group. Each cell is the result you needed to score at least that many points: at least the push-ups and sit-ups shown, and the 2-mile run in the time shown or faster.
| Points | Push-ups | Sit-ups | 2-mile run |

From the APFT to the ACFT to the Army Fitness Test
When it announced the ACFT in March 2022, the Army described the APFT as a test that went largely unchanged for 40 years. The Army replaced it in two steps, first with the ACFT and then with the Army Fitness Test.
- 1 April 2022The ACFT began to replace the APFT as the Army's record fitness test, starting with diagnostic tests.
- 1 October 2022ACFT scores became record scores for Regular Army and Active Guard Reserve soldiers. Army Reserve and National Guard soldiers followed on 1 April 2023.
- 31 March 2023The last day Regular Army and Active Guard Reserve soldiers could use their last record APFT for promotion points. Army Reserve soldiers outside the Active Guard Reserve could use theirs until 31 March 2024.
- 1 June 2025The Army Fitness Test replaced the ACFT: a 3-repetition maximum deadlift, hand-release push-ups, a sprint-drag-carry, a plank and the 2-mile run.
Sources: Army Directive 2022-05, paragraph 4; army.mil, 23 and 31 March 2022; Army Directive 2025-06, paragraphs 4a and 4b.
How each APFT event was tested
Soldiers took the three events on one day in this order, with 10 to 20 minutes of rest between them, and finished all three within two hours.
- Push-upsAs many as you can in 2 minutes. Lower your whole body as one unit until your upper arms are at least parallel to the ground, then push back up to straight arms, with your feet together or up to 12 inches apart. The only rest position is the front-leaning rest. Resting on the ground or lifting a hand or foot ends the event.
- Sit-upsAs many as you can in 2 minutes, with your knees bent at 90 degrees, your fingers interlocked behind your head and a partner holding your ankles with the hands only. Sit up until the base of your neck is above the base of your spine, then lower until the bottom of your shoulder blades touches the ground. The up position is the only rest position.
- 2-mile runRun 2 miles at your own pace on a measured course. Walking is allowed but strongly discouraged. Being physically helped or leaving the course ends the event; a pacer who runs with you without touching you is allowed.

APFT questions
Is the APFT still used?
No. The Army retired it in two steps, listed under From the APFT to the ACFT to the Army Fitness Test above. This calculator is for old scores and for benchmarking yourself.
How many points did you need to pass the APFT?
At least 60 points in each event and 180 of 300 in total; one event under 60 failed the test. The 60-point row of the table above shows what that took for your age group.
Were the APFT standards the same for men and women?
Not for push-ups and the run: DA Form 705 prints separate columns for men and women. The sit-up table had one column per age group for everyone.
How often did soldiers take the APFT?
At least twice a year for record, under AR 350-1. FM 7-22 quotes that rule in its sample unit fitness policy.
How does the APFT compare with the Army Fitness Test?
The Army Fitness Test has five events instead of three: a 3-repetition maximum deadlift, hand-release push-ups, a sprint-drag-carry, a plank and the same 2-mile run, with no sit-ups. Each event still scores 0 to 100 with 60 to pass, but the total needed is 300 on the general standard and 350 on the combat standard. What changed from the ACFT to the AFT covers the most recent switch.
Can I run the 2 miles on a treadmill?
The APFT was run on a measured 2-mile course. For a home benchmark a treadmill works, but compare treadmill times only with treadmill times.
Do Navy SEAL candidates take the APFT?
No. SEAL candidates take the Navy Physical Screening Test (PST), a swim, push-ups, curl-ups, pull-ups and a 1.5-mile run set by MILPERSMAN 1220-410, not an Army test. For training ideas, see our Navy SEAL workouts.
