What is the ACFT Pass/Fail Calculator?
This tool applies to the United States Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT). It tells you whether your six event scores produce a passing result under the standard scoring rules: you must earn at least 60 points on every single event and accumulate a total of at least 360 points across all six events. Scoring is point-based (0–100 per event), so this calculator works with your converted point scores, not raw reps or run times.
The Six ACFT Events
The ACFT measures fitness across six events: the 3-Repetition Maximum Deadlift (MDL), Standing Power Throw (SPT), Hand-Release Push-Up (HRP), Sprint-Drag-Carry (SDC), Plank (PLK), and the Two-Mile Run (2MR). Each event is scored from 0 to 100 points, giving a maximum possible total of 600 points.
How to Use It
Look up each event's point value on the official ACFT scoring scales, then enter those six point values here. The calculator sums them, checks that your lowest event score is 60 or higher, and confirms your total reaches 360. If both conditions are met, you PASS; otherwise it shows FAIL and tells you how many events fell below the 60-point minimum.
Formula Explained
Pass = (minimum event score ≥ 60) AND (total ≥ 360). Both halves must be true. The full condition is:
$$\text{Pass} = (\min(e_1,\dots,e_6) \ge 60)\ \wedge\ \left(\sum_{i=1}^{6} e_i \ge 360\right)$$where the total is
$$\text{Total} = e_{MDL}+e_{SPT}+e_{HRP}+e_{SDC}+e_{PLK}+e_{2MR}$$Because 6 events \(\times\) 60 points = 360, scoring exactly 60 on every event is the lowest possible passing line. However, scoring above 60 on some events does not compensate for scoring below 60 on another — a single sub-60 event is an automatic fail even if your total clears 360.
Worked Example
Suppose your point scores are MDL 70, SPT 65, HRP 60, SDC 62, PLK 60, and 2MR 58. The total is
$$70 + 65 + 60 + 62 + 60 + 58 = 375 \ (\ge 360\ \checkmark)$$but the run scored only 58, below the 60 minimum. Result: FAIL, with one event below standard. Raising the run to 60+ would flip it to a pass.
Pass/Fail Scenarios Compared
The ACFT applies two simultaneous requirements: each of the six events must earn at least 60 points, and the six event scores must sum to at least 360. The table below works through several realistic point sets. The event order is MDL (deadlift), SPT (standing power throw), HRP (hand-release push-up), SDC (sprint-drag-carry), PLK (plank), and RUN (2-mile run).
| MDL | SPT | HRP | SDC | PLK | RUN | Total | Min Event | Result | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 60 | 60 | 60 | 60 | 60 | 60 | 360 | 60 | PASS | Every event ≥ 60 and total ≥ 360 (exact minimum). |
| 80 | 70 | 65 | 75 | 70 | 60 | 420 | 60 | PASS | All events ≥ 60 and total comfortably above 360. |
| 95 | 90 | 55 | 90 | 85 | 85 | 500 | 55 | FAIL | Total is high, but HRP is below 60 — a sub-60 event fails the test regardless of total. |
| 62 | 61 | 60 | 60 | 62 | 60 | 365 | 60 | PASS | All events ≥ 60 and total ≥ 360. |
| 58 | 62 | 60 | 61 | 60 | 62 | 363 | 58 | FAIL | Total ≥ 360, but MDL is below 60. |
| 60 | 60 | 58 | 60 | 60 | 58 | 356 | 58 | FAIL | Two events below 60 and total below 360 — fails on both rules. |
Note how the high-total row (500) still fails: the per-event floor and the total floor are independent gates, and both must be cleared.
What Your Result Means
A PASS on this checker means your entered scores meet the Army's two record-qualifying minimums at once: no individual event below 60 points, and a combined total of 360 or higher across all six events. That is the threshold for a passing record ACFT score under the official scoring rule.
A FAIL means at least one of those two conditions was not met. This happens in three ways: one or more events scored below 60, the six-event total fell below 360, or both. Each condition is checked independently.
A defining feature of the scoring rule is that exceeding 60 points on some events never offsets a sub-60 event. Even a very high total — driven by strong deadlift, throw, or run scores — results in a FAIL if any single event drops below 60. The per-event floor is a hard gate that applies to all six events separately from the total. This is why a 500-point total with one 55-point event still fails: the rule requires the minimum of the six event scores to be at least 60, not just a high average or sum.
This tool reflects the documented ACFT scoring standard and is provided for general informational purposes. It does not record an official score; an authorized grader and the Army's official scoring tables determine your record result.
FAQ
Is 360 enough to pass? Only if every individual event is also at least 60. A 360 built from a 50 and a 70 still fails.
What's the max score? 600 points (100 per event).
