Air Force PT Test Chart
One page that shows how the USAF Physical Fitness Assessment is scored: the three components, the points each carries, the baseline minimums this site's PT calculator enforces for men and women, and links to a standards page for every age group.
| Component | Approved options | Max points |
|---|---|---|
| Cardio | 2-mile run or HAMR shuttle run (scored); 2-km walk (approved alternate, pass/fail, no points) | 50 |
| Strength | Push-ups or hand-release push-ups | 15 |
| Core | Sit-ups, cross-leg reverse crunches, or forearm plank | 15 |
| Body composition (WHtR) | Waist-to-height ratio, scored on its own scale - not a pass/fail gate | 20 |
| Composite total | Pass at 75+, Excellent at 90+ | 100 |
One rule sits on top of the points: you must meet the minimum in cardio, strength, and core (a single missed minimum fails the test). Body composition has no minimum of its own - it only adds 0-20 points to the composite.
| Component | Men (under 25) | Women (under 25) |
|---|---|---|
| 2-mile run | 19:45 | 25:23 |
| 2-km walk | 16:16 | 17:22 |
| HAMR shuttle run | 42 shuttles | 21 shuttles |
| Push-ups | 30 reps | 15 reps |
| Hand-release push-ups | 27 reps | 17 reps |
| Sit-ups | 33 reps | 29 reps |
| Cross-leg reverse crunches | 35 reps | 33 reps |
| Forearm plank | 1:35 | 1:30 |
| Waist-to-height ratio | 0.49 or lower for full points | 0.49 or lower for full points |

Standards by age group
Every five-year age group has its own standards page with bracket-specific minimums, scoring notes, and FAQs - for men and for women.
PT test chart FAQs
Where do I find the official Air Force PT test chart?
The official score charts live on afpc.af.mil and in AFMAN 36-2905, the Air Force Physical Fitness Readiness Program manual, which publishes a full table per gender and five-year age group. This page summarizes how the test is scored and what this site's calculator enforces, and our regulations guide explains the policy around testing.
How is the Air Force PT test scored?
The composite is 100 points: cardio is worth up to 50, strength up to 15, core up to 15, and body composition (WHtR) up to 20. You need 75 points or more to pass and 90 or more for an Excellent rating, and you must also meet the minimum in cardio, strength, and core.
Does the PT test chart change with age?
Yes: the official AFMAN 36-2905 charts step requirements through five-year age groups (under 25, 25-29, and so on through 60+), and this site's calculator reads those same per-bracket minimums, so every age-group page on this site shows the line for that specific bracket.
Are the 2-km walk and HAMR shuttle run on the chart?
Yes. HAMR is a scored alternate cardio component with its own points chart. The 2-km walk is also an approved alternate for members with medical authorization, but it is pass/fail and carries no points. For the under-25 bracket this calculator's walk ceilings are 16:16 for men and 17:22 for women; the HAMR floors are 42 shuttles and 21 shuttles. Every bracket page has its own values.
Is body composition part of the PT score?
Yes, but it is scored, not a gate: waist-to-height ratio earns up to 20 of the 100 composite points, full points at 0.49 or lower and tapering to zero at 0.6 or higher. Measure waist circumference divided by height, both in inches.
