Values from the official DAFMAN 36-2905 five-year age group scoring charts (the test of record through 30 June 2026). Run minimum is the slowest passing time; run maximum is the time for full aerobic points.
Since 1 July 2026 the test of record is the PFRA: a two-mile run (or 20-meter HAMR shuttle) instead of the 1.5-mile run, a 50/20/15/15 component weighting with the waist-to-height ratio scored, higher component minimums, and testing twice a year. A diagnostic period ran from 1 March to 30 June 2026.
The charts above and this calculator reflect the outgoing test. For the new tables, see the official PFRA scoring charts on afpc.af.mil and DAFMAN 36-2905.
Important Considerations
- Minimums are Mandatory: You must meet the minimum standard for your age group in each component to pass, regardless of your total score.
- Target > 75 Points: The sum of your component points must equal 75 or higher. Simply achieving the minimums often results in a failing score (approx. 70-72 points).
- Exemptions: If you are exempt from a component, your score is calculated based on the remaining components.
