ACFT Score Calculator

ACFT score calculator breaks down your Army Combat Fitness Test performance by individual event, showing exactly how each contributes to your 600-point composite. See per-event scores for deadlift, power throw, push-ups, sprint-drag-carry, plank, and run to pinpoint training priorities.

Core Formula
Convert raw inputs to 0-100 per eventComposite = MDL + SPT + HRPU + SDC + Plank + RunMax = 600, Passing = 360Lowest event score highlights training focus

How it works: Your raw event inputs (weight, distance, reps, time) are mapped to approximate 0 to 100 point scores using Army performance bands, then summed to a 600-point composite total.

Worked Example

Male soldier: MDL 300 lbs, SPT 10.5 m, HRPU 50 reps, SDC 105 sec, Plank 200 sec, Run 13:45.
1Step 1: MDL 300 lbs = approximately 88 points.
2Step 2: SPT 10.5 m = approximately 82 points.
3Step 3: HRPU 50 reps = approximately 85 points.
4Step 4: SDC 105 sec = approximately 78 points (weakest event).
5Step 5: Plank 200 sec (3:20) = approximately 95 points.
6Step 6: Run 13:45 = approximately 95 points.
7Step 7: Composite = 88 + 82 + 85 + 78 + 95 + 95 = 523 out of 600.
The SDC at 78 points is the weakest link. Improving SDC to 90 would push the total to 535.

ACFT Score Breakdown: How Each Event Contributes

The ACFT composite score is the sum of six individual event scores, each worth 0 to 100 points. Understanding your per-event breakdown reveals exactly where to focus training for the biggest total score improvement.

  • Each event is scored independently on a 0 to 100 scale, with 60 as the minimum passing threshold per event
  • Your composite total is simply the sum of all six event scores, with 600 being the maximum
  • A single event below 60 results in an overall test failure, even if your composite total exceeds 360
  • Event scores are based on performance tiers, so small improvements near tier boundaries can produce jumps of 5 to 10 points
  • The most impactful training targets your lowest-scoring event: going from 65 to 85 adds 20 points to your composite

Use this breakdown to identify which events offer the most room for improvement and plan your training accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a perfect ACFT score?

A perfect score is 600 (100 points on each of the six events). To achieve this: MDL 340 lbs, SPT 12.5+ m, HRPU 60+ reps, SDC under 93 seconds, Plank 3:25+, Run under 13:30. Fewer than 5% of soldiers achieve a perfect 600.

Why might my estimate differ from official scoring?

Official scoring uses stepwise performance tables that vary by age group (17-21, 22-26, 27-31, etc.) and gender. This tool uses simplified scoring bands intended for training awareness and progress tracking, not official record scores.

Can I use this to track training progress over time?

Yes. Enter your current performance numbers after each training cycle (typically every 4-6 weeks) to see how improvements in specific events change your composite total. Focus on the event with the lowest score for the biggest gains.

What happens if I fail one event but pass the others?

Failing any single event (scoring below 60 points) results in an overall ACFT failure regardless of your composite total. For example, scoring 95 on five events but 55 on the run means you fail the entire test.

How are individual event scores calculated?

Each raw performance input (lbs lifted, meters thrown, reps completed, seconds elapsed) is mapped to a 0 to 100 score using performance reference bands. For example, MDL 140 lbs = 60 points, 200 lbs = about 70, 280 lbs = about 85, and 340 lbs = 100 points.

Which ACFT event is easiest to improve quickly?

The plank is typically the easiest event to max. With consistent daily practice (2-3 sets to near-failure), most soldiers can reach 3:25 within 6-8 weeks. The deadlift also responds well to progressive overload, typically gaining 20-30 lbs over a 2-month training cycle.
