2025 ACFT Scoring Standards Made Simple

Wondering, “What’s a good ACFT score?” Let’s break it down. The Army updates standards yearly, and 2024 is no exception. Below, you’ll find a clear scoring chart split by age groups (17-21, 22-26, etc.) and gender. Combat MOS? We’ve highlighted higher benchmarks for roles like infantry.

For example:

• Deadlift: 140 lbs (minimum) vs. 340 lbs (max).
• Plank: 1:10 min (passing) to 3:30 (max).

Visual sliders show how tiny tweaks (e.g., +10 seconds on the plank) boost your score. Pro tip: Aim 10% above your bracket—it’s like leveling up in real life!

 Mindset Hacks & Injury Prevention

The ACFT isn’t just physical—it’s a mental marathon. Stay calm under pressure: Visualize each event (yes, even the dreaded sled push!) and practice box breathing.

Injury-proof your training:

• Deadlift strains? Warm up with Romanian deadlifts.
• Sore knees from sprints? Swap pavement for grass.

Most soldiers ignore recovery—don’t! Ice baths and foam rolling are your secret weapons. Remember: A tweaked muscle can derail months of prep.
