The Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test (PFT) consists of three events: pull-ups or push-ups, plank hold, and a 3-mile run. Each event is worth up to 100 points, for a maximum total score of 300 points. Scoring is based on age, gender, and performance in each event according to official USMC standards.
A minimum score of 135 points is required to pass the PFT, with at least 40 points in each event. First-class PFT scores require 225 points or higher, with minimum requirements in each individual event.
The Combat Fitness Test (CFT) includes three events: Movement to Contact (880-yard sprint), Ammunition Lift (30-pound lift for 2 minutes), and Maneuver Under Fire (300-yard course with combat-related tasks). Each event is scored up to 100 points for a maximum of 300 points.
Marines are required to complete both the PFT and CFT semi-annually. The PFT is typically conducted every six months, and the CFT is also administered twice per year, with specific timing determined by unit commanders.
Yes, Marines can choose to perform push-ups instead of pull-ups for the upper body event. However, pull-ups generally yield higher scores for the same level of effort, as the scoring standards favor pull-ups.
