About the Air Force PT Test Score
The Air Force Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) produces a single composite score out of 100 points, built from three components: cardiorespiratory endurance, upper-body muscular endurance (push-ups), and core endurance (sit-ups or an approved alternate). This calculator adds the points you earned in each component and reports your composite score, whether you pass, and your fitness category.
How the composite score works
Each component contributes a maximum number of points, and the three add together:
- Cardio (1.5-mile run or approved alternate): up to 60 points — the largest share of the score.
- Push-ups (one minute): up to 20 points.
- Core / sit-ups (one minute, or an approved alternate such as the forearm plank): up to 20 points.
Your component points come from the official Air Force scoring charts, which set the performance required for each point value by age group and sex. Enter those three point values here to get the total. A composite of 75.0 or higher is required to pass.
Fitness categories
- Excellent: composite of 90.0 or above.
- Satisfactory: composite from 75.0 to 89.9.
- Unsatisfactory: composite below 75.0, or failing any single component minimum.
Passing requires two things at once: a composite of at least 75.0 and meeting the minimum point standard in every component. A strong run cannot fully rescue a failed push-up or core minimum, so check each component against its chart minimum, not just the total.
Before you train for the test
This tool is a scoring aid, not a training or medical plan. If you are returning from an injury or starting a new fitness program, talk to your unit fitness program manager or a healthcare provider first.
