Frequently Asked Questions

Is the PFT the same as the CFT? ▼

No. The PFT (Physical Fitness Test) measures pull-ups or push-ups, a plank hold, and a 3-mile run. The CFT (Combat Fitness Test) is a separate, also 300-point test that measures a Movement to Contact sprint, an Ammunition Can Lift, and a Maneuver Under Fire course. Both are required, but they are scored and reported separately.

How is the plank scored? ▼

The plank is scored on a single gender-neutral, age-neutral scale: 1:10 (70 seconds) earns the minimum passing score of 40 points, and 3:45 (225 seconds) or longer earns the maximum 100 points, with points awarded proportionally in between.

Is there a cap on push-up points? ▼

Yes. Pull-ups can earn the full 100 points, but push-ups are capped at 70 points, so a Marine who chooses push-ups has a maximum possible total of 270 rather than 300.

What is a perfect PFT score? ▼

300 points: 100 on pull-ups (23 reps for a male Marine aged 21 to 30), 100 on the plank (3:45) and 100 on the 3-mile run (18:00 for males up to age 40, 21:00 for females up to age 40). A perfect score is impossible with push-ups because they cap at 70 points.

What is the minimum passing PFT score? ▼

You need at least 40 points in every event and 150 points in total. For a male Marine aged 21 to 25 the event minimums are 5 pull-ups (or 40 push-ups), a 1:10 plank and a 27:40 run. Marines in combat arms MOSs must also reach 210 points under the 2026 standard.

How many points is one pull-up worth? ▼

For a male Marine aged 21 to 25, each pull-up between 5 and 23 reps is worth about 3.3 points (5 reps = 40, 14 reps = 70, 23 reps = 100). For push-ups the step is smaller, about 0.64 points per rep, because the 40 to 70 point range is spread across 40 to 87 reps.

Can Marines row instead of run on the PFT? ▼

Yes, in limited cases. The 5,000-meter row on a Concept2 rower is allowed for Marines aged 46 and older and, with approval, for injured or postpartum Marines. It is scored on its own age and sex table (for example, 18:15 earns 100 points for a male Marine aged 21 to 25). This calculator scores the 3-mile run.

What's the new 2026 combat-arms standard? ▼

Effective January 1, 2026, Marines in combat-arms MOSs (infantry, artillery, reconnaissance, etc.) are scored on a sex-neutral basis: both male and female Marines in these roles use the same male-normed scoring tables and must reach a minimum of 210 points (70% of 300) to pass. Marines outside combat-arms MOSs continue to use the traditional sex- and age-normed tables with the 1st/2nd/3rd class system.

What are the PFT class thresholds? ▼

Under the traditional (non-combat-arms) scoring system: 1st Class is 235–300 points, 2nd Class is 200–234, 3rd Class is 150–199, and below 150 total (or below 40 in any single event) is a failure.

How accurate is this calculator? ▼

Scores are estimated from publicly published USMC PFT standards and are intended for training reference only. Official scores are determined using the current MCO 6100.13A scoring tables, so always verify with your unit's official scoring before or during an actual test.

USMC PFT calculator: quick answer

The Marine Corps PFT is scored out of 300 points: up to 100 for pull-ups (or 70 for push-ups), 100 for the plank and 100 for the 3-mile run. You pass with at least 40 points in each event and 150 in total. 235 or more is 1st Class, 200 to 234 is 2nd Class and 150 to 199 is 3rd Class. Since January 1, 2026, Marines in combat arms MOSs also need 210 points on the male tables. Enter your reps and times above and the calculator shows each event score, your class and how many points you need to reach the next class.

How the Marine Corps PFT is scored

The Physical Fitness Test has three events, each scored from 0 to 100 points, for a maximum of 300:

Pull-ups or push-ups: pull-ups can earn up to 100 points; push-ups are capped at 70, which is why pull-ups are the better choice for Marines who can do them well.
Plank: one table for all ages and both sexes, from 40 points at 1:10 to 100 points at 3:45.
3-mile run: scored on time, with standards that loosen with age.

Each event needs at least 40 points and the total must be at least 150 to pass. This calculator estimates points by interpolating between the 40-point and 100-point standards for your age group, so results between those anchors are close estimates rather than exact table values.

Example

A male Marine aged 21 to 25 does 18 pull-ups, holds the plank for 3:00 and runs 3 miles in 21:00. The estimate is about 83 + 82 + 81 = 246 points, a first-class score.

A female Marine aged 26 to 30 does 8 pull-ups, holds the plank for 2:30 and runs 24:00. Pull-ups score about 80 (the 4-rep minimum is worth 60 and 12 reps is 100), the plank 70 and the run about 82, for roughly 232 points: 2nd Class, 3 points short of 1st Class. One more pull-up, an 8-second longer plank or a run about 31 seconds faster would close the gap.

Charts for the plank and run are interpolated between the official 40- and 100-point standards, so an individual line can differ from the printed MCO table by a point. Roughly every 10 seconds on the run and every 2.6 seconds on the plank is worth one point, so a longer plank is often the quickest way to add points.

PFT standards by age (MCO 6100.13A)

Each cell shows the maximum performance first and the minimum second. Pull-ups score up to 100 points (the female minimum earns 60 points, the male minimum 40); push-ups score 40 to 70 points; the run scores 40 to 100.

17-20	7 / 1	42 / 19	21:00 / 30:50
21-25	11 / 3	48 / 18	21:00 / 30:50

46-50	6 / 2	40 / 11	22:00 / 33:30
51+	4 / 2	38 / 10	22:30 / 36:00

The plank uses one table for everyone: 1:10 for 40 points up to 3:45 for 100. Marines at 4,500 feet or higher use altitude-adjusted run times.

New combat arms standard in 2026

Under MARADMIN 613/25, effective January 1, 2026, Marines in combat arms primary MOSs are scored on the male, age-normed tables regardless of sex and must reach at least 210 points. Marines who pass the PFT but fall short of 210 are assigned remedial training. Tick the combat arms option to apply that standard. Other Marines keep the sex- and age-normed tables.

PFT vs CFT

Marines take two different tests every year: the PFT in the first half of the calendar year (January to June) and the CFT in the second half (July to December).

	PFT	CFT
Purpose	general fitness and endurance	combat-related strength and agility
Events	pull-ups or push-ups, plank, 3-mile run	Movement to Contact, Ammunition Can Lift, Maneuver Under Fire
Uniform	PT gear	boots and utility trousers
Maximum score	300	300

Both scores count toward the composite score used for promotion to corporal and sergeant, so a few extra pull-ups or a faster run add up. Use the USMC CFT calculator for the combat test.

Training tips

Add one pull-up at a time with greasing-the-groove sets spread through the day.
Train the plank with timed holds and progressions; form breaks end the event.
Mix one tempo run and one interval session each week to lower your 3-mile time.

Scores here are estimates; the official tables in MCO 6100.13A and current MARADMINs govern. For the semiannual combat test use the CFT calculator, plan run splits with the race pace calculator, and compare body composition with the Army body fat calculator or estimate aerobic fitness with the VO2 max calculator.
