How to Use Our Army Fitness Scoring Tool
This comprehensive scoring tool is designed to help soldiers and recruits accurately determine their Army Combat Fitness Test score. Our platform simplifies the ACFT scoring process for you:
Army Fitness Test Update Notice
Our scoring tool will be updated when the Army Fitness Test (AFT) replaces the ACFT on June 1, 2025. We will ensure our platform reflects the new AFT standards.
Step 1: Enter Your Personal Information
Select your age group and gender, then input your performance for each of the six ACFT events. Our scoring system requires accurate data to provide reliable results.
Step 2: Automatic Score Computation
Our system scores each event on a scale from 0-100 points based on official Army standards. The tool applies age and gender-specific scoring tables to determine your points for each event.
Step 3: Comprehensive Results Analysis
The system totals your points (maximum 600) and determines whether you've passed (minimum 60 points per event and 360 total). Our tool provides personalized training recommendations based on your weakest events.
Our Army fitness scoring tool uses the latest official standards released by the U.S. Army. The scoring tables account for age and gender differences, ensuring fair assessment for all soldiers.
Official Army Combat Fitness Test Standards
The Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) is the assessment for all Soldiers that measures functional fitness necessary for combat tasks. Our scoring tool is based on these official standards that include six events to be completed in 50 minutes.

Comprehensive ACFT Training Guide
Maximize your Army Combat Fitness Test performance with our evidence-based training strategies. These proven methods help soldiers improve their scores across all six ACFT events.
Strength Training for ACFT Success
The deadlift and hand-release push-ups require focused strength development. Progressive overload training with compound movements builds the functional strength needed for military tasks.
- Deadlift Training: Start with 3 sets of 5 reps at 70% of your max, increasing weight by 5-10 lbs weekly
- Push-up Progression: Practice hand-release push-ups daily, focusing on proper form and explosive movement
- Core Stability: Planks, dead bugs, and bird dogs improve your plank hold and overall stability
Power and Agility Development
The standing power throw and sprint-drag-carry test explosive power and functional movement patterns essential for combat effectiveness.
- Power Throw Training: Medicine ball throws, overhead presses, and rotational exercises build throwing power
- Sprint-Drag-Carry Prep: Practice the exact movement pattern 2-3 times weekly with proper rest intervals
- Agility Work: Ladder drills, cone exercises, and direction changes improve movement efficiency
Cardiovascular Conditioning
The 2-mile run requires both aerobic base and anaerobic power. Strategic training periodization optimizes running performance.
- Base Building: 60-70% of running at conversational pace builds aerobic foundation
- Tempo Runs: Weekly threshold runs at comfortably hard pace improve lactate clearance
- Interval Training: 400m and 800m repeats develop speed and anaerobic capacity
Training Periodization Tips
Successful ACFT preparation requires 8-12 weeks of structured training. Focus on one primary adaptation per training block: strength, power, or endurance. Allow adequate recovery between high-intensity sessions to prevent overtraining and injury.
Nutrition and Recovery for Military Fitness
Optimal performance on the ACFT requires proper nutrition, hydration, and recovery strategies. These evidence-based recommendations support training adaptations and test-day performance.
Pre-Training Nutrition
Fuel your training sessions with strategic nutrient timing to maximize performance and recovery.
- Carbohydrate Loading: Consume 3-5g carbs per kg body weight 3-4 hours before training
- Protein Timing: 20-25g high-quality protein within 30 minutes post-workout
- Hydration Protocol: 16-20 oz fluid 2-3 hours before exercise, 6-8 oz every 15-20 minutes during
Recovery Strategies
Proper recovery accelerates adaptations and reduces injury risk during intensive ACFT preparation.
- Sleep Optimization: 7-9 hours nightly with consistent sleep/wake times
- Active Recovery: Light movement, stretching, and mobility work on rest days
- Stress Management: Meditation, breathing exercises, and stress reduction techniques
Test Day Preparation
Strategic preparation in the 24-48 hours before your ACFT can significantly impact performance.
- Carb Loading: Increase carbohydrate intake 2-3 days before testing
- Taper Training: Reduce training volume by 40-60% in the week before testing
- Mental Preparation: Visualization and positive self-talk improve confidence and performance
