USMC PFT and CFT score charts 2026

These are the official Marine Corps scoring tables from MCO 6100.13A (with Change 4). Each cell shows the maximum / the minimum to pass for that age group. Pull-ups and the run max out at 100 points, push-ups at 70, and every event's minimum is worth 40 points, except women's pull-ups, where the minimum is worth 60.

How the PFT and CFT are scored

Every Marine takes the Physical Fitness Test (PFT) between 1 January and 30 June and the Combat Fitness Test (CFT) between 1 July and 31 December. Each test has three events and is worth 300 points.

• PFT: pull-ups or push-ups, the plank, and a 3-mile run (Marines 46 and older can row 5,000 m instead of running).
• CFT: Movement to Contact (880 yards), Ammunition Lifts (30-lb can, 2 minutes), and Maneuver Under Fire.

To pass either test you need 150 points and the minimum in every event. Missing the minimum in one event fails the whole test. Scores are graded by gender and eight age groups: 17-20, 21-25, 26-30, 31-35, 36-40, 41-45, 46-50, and 51+.

Classification (PFT and CFT, all ages)

Combat arms standard (2026)

Since 1 January 2026, Marines in combat arms PMOSs need 210 on the PFT, scored on the male age-group tables whatever their gender (MARADMIN 613/25). Check the box in the calculator to score yourself on that standard.

How to improve your weakest event

Pull-Ups: Build volume with grease-the-groove, short sets (50% of max) spread across the day, every day. Weighted hangs and negatives for strength. Band-assisted reps if you're below the minimum for your age.

Push-Ups: Accumulate 200+ daily push-ups in clean-form sets of 20-25. Add eccentric slow-downs weekly. Deload one day per week.

Plank: Daily weighted planks and hollow-body holds. Train it like a lift, not an afterthought. Farmers carries build the same core system.

3-Mile Run: 80% easy Zone-2 aerobic work, 20% tempo and interval. 400m repeats at 5K pace. Most Marines run all their runs too hard.

Movement to Contact (880 yd): Pure anaerobic capacity. 30-90 sec sprint intervals with 1:1 or 1:2 rest. Practice in boots.

Ammo Lifts: Overhead push-press work with a sandbag or kettlebell. Train the 2-minute time domain with 30-lb-ish loads. Grip strength matters.

MANUF: Practice the obstacle sequence. Sled drag, buddy carries, and broad jumps at intensity. Technique cuts more time than fitness here.

About this calculator

Scoring uses the official tables in MCO 6100.13A, Marine Corps Physical Fitness and Combat Fitness Tests, with Change 4 (the current plank table), plus MARADMIN 613/25 for the combat arms standard. Each event is scored straight from the table. Reps and plank times earn the highest listed value they meet. Run, MTC, and MANUF times score at the next slower listed time. Your score of record comes from MCTIMS and your command.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a passing PFT score?

150 out of 300, with at least the minimum in every event. Classes are the same for every age: 1st Class is 235-300, 2nd Class is 200-234, and 3rd Class is 150-199. Since 1 January 2026, Marines in combat arms PMOSs need 210 on the PFT, scored on the male age-group tables.

How many pull-ups do you need for the Marine Corps PFT?

For men 17-20, the minimum is 4 pull-ups and the maximum is 20. For men 21-35 it is 5 and 23. For women 17-20 it is 1 and 7, and for women 26-30 it is 4 and 12. The full table for every age group is on this page.

Can you do push-ups instead of pull-ups on the PFT?

Yes. You choose one before the event, and the scores can't be combined. Push-ups top out at 70 points while pull-ups top out at 100, so the maximum 300 is only possible with pull-ups.

What is the plank standard for the USMC PFT?

The plank table is the same for every Marine regardless of age or gender: 1:10 earns the minimum 40 points and 3:45 earns the maximum 100. It replaced the abdominal crunch, which was discontinued on 31 December 2022.

What is the 3-mile run standard for the PFT?

For men 17-25, 18:00 earns 100 points and 27:40 is the slowest passing time. For women 17-25, 21:00 earns 100 points and 30:50 is the slowest passing time. Marines 46 and older can row 5,000 m instead.

What are the CFT events and minimums?

The CFT is Movement to Contact (880 yards), Ammunition Lifts (30-lb can overhead for 2 minutes), and Maneuver Under Fire. For men 17-20 the minimums are 3:45 MTC, 62 ammo lifts, and 3:17 MANUF. Passing is 150 out of 300 with the minimum in every event, and the classes match the PFT.

When are the PFT and CFT taken?

The PFT is run between 1 January and 30 June, and the CFT between 1 July and 31 December, every year.

What changed for 2026?

Marines in combat arms PMOSs, such as infantry, artillery, and Raiders, now need 210 on the PFT, scored on the male age-group tables whatever their gender (MARADMIN 613/25, effective 1 January 2026). Everyone else is still scored on their own gender and age group, with 150 to pass.

Is this an official USMC PFT calculator?

No. It is a free training tool built on the official MCO 6100.13A tables. The official calculator and your score of record come through MCTIMS and your command.
