Points assume you meet the minimum in each event. Failing any single event is a failing PFT regardless of total.
How the Marine Corps PFT is scored
The Physical Fitness Test measures a Marine's baseline fitness across three events: an upper-body event, the plank, and a cardio event. Each event is worth up to 100 points, for a maximum PFT score of 300.
Points for each event are awarded on a sliding scale set by your age and gender, so the same run time or rep count is worth different points for different Marines. This calculator uses the scoring tables from MCO 6100.13A — the same data that powers the CorpsGuide app.
To pass, you must meet the minimum in every event and reach at least a 3rd-class total. A maxed-out 300 is a perfect PFT.
The three PFT events
Upper body — pull-ups or push-ups
Choose pull-ups or push-ups. Pull-ups reach a higher maximum score; push-ups are the alternate event and are capped lower. Pick whichever earns you the most points.
Plank
The forearm plank is the core event. You're scored on how long you hold a proper plank, up to the maximum time needed for full points.
Cardio — three-mile run or 5,000m row
Run three miles for time, or row 5,000 meters as the alternate. Marines who test at high elevation are scored against separate altitude-adjusted standards.
PFT classes and passing score
Your total across all three events determines your PFT class:
| Class | Total score |
|---|---|
| 1st Class | 235–300 |
| 2nd Class | 200–234 |
| 3rd Class | 120–199 |
| Fail | Below 120 |
You must also meet the minimum in each individual event — a total in the passing range still fails if any single event is below its minimum.
Age and gender brackets
Standards are grouped into age brackets from 17 through 51-plus and differ by gender. Enter your exact age above and the calculator maps it to the correct bracket automatically (ages over 51 use the 51-plus standard).
Frequently asked questions
What is a passing PFT score?
You need at least 120 total points (3rd class) and must meet the minimum in each event. A 1st-class PFT is 235 or higher.
What is the maximum PFT score?
300 — a perfect 100 points in each of the three events.
Is the plank scored by time?
Yes. You're scored on how long you hold a correct forearm plank, up to the maximum time needed for 100 points.
Should I do pull-ups or push-ups?
Pull-ups can score up to 100 points; push-ups are the alternate and are capped below the pull-up maximum. Most Marines score higher choosing pull-ups when they can.
Do the run standards change at altitude?
Yes. Marines testing at high elevation are scored against altitude-adjusted run and row tables. Select the altitude option in the calculator.
Are these the current PFT standards?
The calculator uses the scoring tables from MCO 6100.13A, the same source the CorpsGuide app uses. Always confirm against the official order for edge cases.
