Scoring method

How the Marine Corps PFT score is calculated

Each event receives points from the published table for the selected age group, sex, and elevation. The three event scores are added for a total out of 300. Passing the base PFT requires at least 150 total points and the minimum performance in every event. See the official Marine Corps PFT scoring tables for the published event standards.

Pull-ups or push-ups

Pull-ups can earn 100 points. Push-ups are capped at 70 points.

Forearm plank

One age- and sex-neutral table awards 40–100 points from 1:10 to 3:45.

Three-mile run

Faster times earn more points under sex-, age-, and altitude-specific tables.

5,000-meter row

Eligible Marines use age-, sex-, and altitude-specific five-second scoring rows.

Forearm plank standard

The minimum is 1:10 for 40 points. A hold of 3:45 earns 100 points for every age group and sex.

High-altitude scoring

At or above 4,500 feet, use the dedicated altitude run and row tables by selecting that elevation in the calculator.

Marine Corps PFT passing scores and classes

A total alone does not guarantee passage. Every event must meet its minimum. These are the official 235/200/150 classification thresholds—not unofficial fitness tiers.

1st class

235–300

2nd class

200–234

3rd class

150–199

2026 combat arms

210 minimum

Current policy

2026 Marine Corps combat-arms PFT standards

Beginning January 1, 2026, designated combat-arms PMOSs use the male age-normed scoring table and must achieve at least 210 points. A result from 150–209 can meet the base PFT threshold while remaining below the required combat-arms standard. Review the MARADMIN 613/25 combat-arms PFT policy for the affected PMOSs and 2026 requirements.

Recruit and officer-candidate scoring

Recruits use the 17–20 scoring group regardless of actual age. Officer candidates, Basic and Warrant Officer Course students, and covered midshipmen use the age group matching their age.

USMC PFT calculator FAQ

Essential answers about Marine Corps PFT events, scoring, and current standards.

How do I calculate my Marine Corps PFT score?

Select the profile, PMOS, sex, age group, upper-body event, aerobic event, and test elevation that apply. Enter repetitions and event times; the calculator matches each result to the Marine Corps scoring standard and adds the three event scores for a total out of 300.

What events are in the Marine Corps PFT?

The PFT has three scored events: pull-ups or push-ups, the forearm plank, and a three-mile run. Eligible Marines may use the 5,000-meter row instead of the run.

What is a passing Marine Corps PFT score?

A standard PFT requires at least 150 total points and the minimum performance in every event. Missing one event minimum fails the PFT regardless of the total score.

What score is first class on the Marine PFT?

First class is 235–300 points. Second class is 200–234 points, and third class is 150–199 points, provided every event minimum is met.

Does age affect the Marine Corps PFT score?

Yes. Pull-up, push-up, run, and row standards vary by age group. The plank uses one age- and sex-neutral table. Recruits are scored with the 17–20 age group regardless of their actual age.

Does altitude change the three-mile run or row score?

Yes. Tests conducted at or above 4,500 feet use the Marine Corps altitude tables for the three-mile run and 5,000-meter row. The calculator applies those tables when the altitude option is selected.

Who is eligible to use the 5,000-meter row?

Marines age 46 and older may select the 5,000-meter row instead of the three-mile run. Marines age 45 and younger may row when recommended by a Privileged Health Care Provider for a medical condition or post-partum status and approved by the CO/OIC.

What changed for combat-arms Marines in 2026?

Beginning January 1, 2026, Marines in the combat-arms PMOSs listed by MARADMIN 613/25 are scored with the male age-normed table and must achieve at least 210 points. A score from 150–209 may meet the base PFT threshold but does not meet the combat-arms standard.

Can I earn 300 PFT points using push-ups?

No. Pull-ups can earn up to 100 points, while push-ups are capped at 70 points. Selecting push-ups limits the highest possible total to 270 points.

Does this calculator replace an official Marine Corps score?

No. It is an independent planning estimate generated from published scoring standards. Verify official results with your command and the current Marine Corps system of record.
