Estimate a current Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test score and class from pull-ups or push-ups, plank, and the 3-mile run or an authorized 5,000-meter row. Scoring changes by sex and age group for the strength and aerobic events; the plank table is age- and sex-neutral.
USMC PFT Classification
| Class | Total score |
|---|---|
| 1st Class | 235-300 |
| 2nd Class | 200-234 |
| 3rd Class | 120-199 |
A total alone is not enough. Every event must also meet its minimum standard. A failed event produces a failed PFT even when the three point values would otherwise reach a class threshold.
Events and Scoring
- Strength: choose pull-ups or push-ups. Push-up points are capped below the pull-up maximum.
- Core: enter the forearm plank time. The current standard uses the common 1:10 minimum and 3:45 maximum table.
- Aerobic: enter the 3-mile run or, only when authorized and eligible, the 5,000-meter row.
- Altitude: select altitude scoring only when the official test location and acclimatization rules qualify.
Rowing Is Not a Universal Substitute
The 5,000-meter row is limited to eligible Marines and requires the applicable approval or status. Selecting it in this planning calculator does not establish eligibility. Confirm the event, altitude table, and any medical or postpartum rules before relying on the result.
How to Use the Result
Enter only repetitions and times that satisfy the official execution and counting rules. Use the result for practice planning, then verify the record score in the official Marine Corps system or with unit fitness personnel.
