ACFT Calculator (Legacy 6-Event Test, 2018–2025)

The ACFT Calculator from AFT Calculator scores the legacy 6-event test as a legacy scoring tool that converts six event results into event points and a total score. Our calculator covers test versions from 2018 through 2025 and scores the three-repetition maximum deadlift, standing power throw, hand-release push-up, sprint-drag-carry, plank or leg tuck, and two-mile run.

Each ACFT event scores up to 100 points, creating a maximum ACFT total of 600 points. AFT Calculator returns points for each event, the combined score, and pass/fail information based on the selected legacy scoring scale.

The Army replaced the six-event ACFT with the five-event Army Fitness Test in June 2025.

The Army Fitness Test (AFT) replaced the six-event ACFT as the Army’s physical fitness test of record on June 1, 2025. The AFT retains the three-repetition maximum deadlift, hand-release push-up, sprint-drag-carry, plank, and two-mile run; the AFT removes the standing power throw. The U.S. Army announced the transition and implementation schedule.

Soldiers began taking the AFT on June 1, 2025, under the applicable general standard. The AFT combat standard took effect for active-component combat specialties on January 1, 2026, and for Reserve and National Guard combat specialties on June 1, 2026, as set out in Army Directive 2025-06, "Army Fitness Test," signed by Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll in April 2025. Soldiers calculating a current five-event result should use the AFT score calculator.

AFT Calculator's ACFT calculator covers four scoring modes: the legacy score chart, promotion-point conversion, ACFT 3.0 MOS physical-demand categories, and ACFT 4.0 age-and-sex scoring scales.

The legacy ACFT score chart maps raw event results to points from 0 to 100. The score chart table shows example thresholds for the 17–21 age group using the male scoring scale, according to the ACFT scoring scales published by the U.S. Army as of March 23, 2022; official Army tables vary by age, sex, and test version. (U.S. Army ACFT scoring resources)

Values reflect the 17–21 age group and male scoring scale of the March 2022 ACFT tables; the deadlift table skips 70 points, so 200 lb (72 points) is the lightest weight at or above 70. The March 2022 tables no longer score the Leg Tuck, so the Leg Tuck row reflects the earlier sex-neutral ACFT scale. Leg Tuck and Plank appear as separate rows because ACFT versions used different core events; check the applicable official scoring table for the test version administered.

For semi-centralized promotion to sergeant (SGT) or staff sergeant (SSG), a passing legacy ACFT score converts to 24–120 promotion points. Lt. Gen. Gary M. Brito's G-1 memorandum "Promotion Point Changes for Promotion to Sergeant and Staff Sergeant" (April 2022) sets the former ACFT promotion scale in two-point increments, from 24 points for a 360–364 total to the maximum 120 points for 600 ACFT points; the fitness component has the same 120-point cap for both promotion grades. Soldiers must meet the minimum standard in every event to receive ACFT promotion points, as outlined in Army promotion guidance.

The Army uses a revised promotion-point table for AFT scores under the five-event test; the AFT fitness component retains a 120-point maximum.

The ACFT 3.0 MOS physical-demand categories were Heavy, Significant, and Moderate. Soldiers in Heavy-demand roles, such as combat-arms occupations, needed at least 70 points on each event; Significant-demand roles required 65 points per event, while Moderate-demand roles required 60, as Military.com documents in "Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) Score Chart," updated March 2023. The Army assigned MOS physical-demand categories according to the physical demands of each military occupational specialty, rather than applying one event threshold to every soldier.

The Army replaced the MOS-category model with ACFT 4.0 age- and sex-normed scoring in 2022. The Army’s ACFT scoring guidance describes that change; the later Army Fitness Test replaced the ACFT in June 2025.

ACFT 4.0 uses age- and sex-normed scoring tables, effective April 1, 2022, the start date of diagnostic testing on the revised scales, according to "Army implements ACFT based on scores, RAND study, and Soldier feedback" by U.S. Army Public Affairs, March 2022. The ACFT 4.0 age brackets are 17–21, 22–26, 27–31, 32–36, 37–41, 42–46, 47–51, 52–56, 57–61, and 62 and older. Each ACFT 4.0 event converts a raw result into 0–100 points using the applicable age-group and sex table.

AFT Calculator applies the selected ACFT 4.0 scale after the user enters age group and sex. The Army describes the revised scoring standards in Army Directive 2022-05, Army Combat Fitness Test.

AFT Calculator is the right choice for legacy ACFT scores because our legacy ACFT calculator interprets six-event results from 2018–2025. AFT Calculator's main advantages are listed below:

• Supports legacy scales: Select the ACFT scoring version that matches the test date.
• Applies soldier inputs: Enter age group and sex to use the corresponding scoring scale.
• Shows promotion points: Review promotion-point results alongside the legacy ACFT score.
• Connects to current scoring: Use the separate AFT score calculator for tests taken under the five-event Army Fitness Test.

An ACFT score does not translate directly into a 5-event AFT score. The ACFT and AFT share five events: the Three-Repetition Maximum Deadlift, Hand-Release Push-Up, Sprint-Drag-Carry, Plank, and Two-Mile Run. Sgt. Woodlyne Escarne reports in "Army introduces new fitness test for 2025," published by the U.S. Army in May 2025, that the AFT dropped the Standing Power Throw, reducing the maximum from 600 points across six events to 500 points across five events. (U.S. Army; Inch Calculator)

The ACFT and AFT passing standards differ as well: the legacy ACFT required 360 total points, while the AFT requires 300 points under the general standard or 350 points under the combat standard, according to "Army establishes new fitness test of record to strengthen readiness and lethality" by Army Public Affairs, April 2025. Both tests require at least 60 points per event, so an ACFT total cannot be reliably divided or adjusted to produce an equivalent AFT score. The comparison table below outlines the full scoring differences. (CalcifyAI; Inch Calculator)

To find a current AFT score, soldiers enter fresh results for all five AFT events in the AFT score calculator.

The Army retired the ACFT's six events because the Army wanted a test aligned with combat readiness that addressed concerns about fairness, event validity, and injury risk. RAND's independent review found that the Army lacked evidence that every ACFT event predicted combat-task performance or reduced injuries, and reported pass rates of 41% to 52% for enlisted women against 83% to 92% for enlisted men, according to "Independent Review of the Army Combat Fitness Test: Summary of Key Findings and Recommendations" by the RAND Corporation, March 2022. Congressional review preceded the change, including a fiscal year 2021 law that required an independent ACFT assessment (National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021). The Army’s ACFT review led to changes in individual events, including removing the Standing Power Throw and replacing the Leg Tuck with the Plank, as documented in "Army introduces new fitness test for 2025" by Sgt. Woodlyne Escarne, U.S. Army, May 2025.

The Army removed the Standing Power Throw because performance data raised concerns about whether the event measured practical power and job-related fitness. Army reviews identified technique dependence and higher overuse-injury risk as Standing Power Throw limitations.

The Army replaced the Leg Tuck with the Plank because Leg Tuck performance depended partly on upper-body strength and showed much lower pass rates among women. The Plank provided a more standardized core-endurance test and a more comparable assessment across soldiers.

The ACFT and AFT use different event counts, scoring totals, and passing thresholds. The Army replaced the six-event ACFT with the five-event AFT on June 1, 2025.

Army Directive 2025-06, Army Fitness Test, signed by Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll in April 2025, establishes the AFT’s five events, scoring standards, and implementation dates, and ends ACFT testing after May 31, 2025. Legacy ACFT standards appear in the Army’s ACFT testing guidance.

The Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) preceded the ACFT and measured push-ups, sit-ups, and a two-mile run, with each event worth up to 100 points. APFT scores do not convert directly into ACFT points because the APFT and ACFT use different events and scoring scales.

Yes, a legacy ACFT score remained valid for specified transition and administrative uses, but the legacy ACFT score no longer serves as the Army’s current fitness test after the transition. Record ACFT tests taken before May 31, 2025, remained valid under current Army policies, and a record ACFT taken before that date counted for promotion until September 30, 2025, according to Army Directive 2025-06, "Army Fitness Test," signed by Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll in April 2025. A record AFT replaces the ACFT score when a soldier completes the AFT, while some applicable administrative uses may accept the legacy score until then, subject to policy limits. AFT Calculator's ACFT calculator scores legacy six-event results from 2018–2025, while soldiers taking a test now should use the AFT score calculator.
