What Is an Air Force PT Score Sheet?
An Air Force PT score sheet (also called a USAF PFA scorecard or fitness scorecard) is the official record of your Physical Fitness Readiness Assessment (PFRA) results. It shows your raw performance on each component and how those numbers convert into a composite score out of 100 points.
This page explains how the score sheet is structured and what each field means. Use it as a worksheet reference alongside the USAF PT Calculator to estimate your score, the score charts for exact point lookups, and the minimums page for pass/fail floor requirements.
How the Score Sheet Breaks Down
The PFRA score sheet records four components. Each is worth a specific number of points that add up to a 100-point composite:
| Component | Exercise Options | Max Points | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cardiorespiratory | 2-Mile Run or 20m HAMR | 50 pts | 50% |
| Body Composition | Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) | 20 pts | 20% |
| Strength | Push-ups or Hand-Release Push-ups | 15 pts | 15% |
| Core Endurance | Sit-ups, Crunches, or Plank | 15 pts | 15% |
Your composite score is the sum of all four component scores. To pass, you need a composite of 75.0 or higher and at least 60% of the maximum points on each component you take.
How Points Are Calculated on the Score Sheet
For physical events (run, push-ups, sit-ups, plank), the Air Force uses a linear scoring model. Raw performance is compared against age- and gender-specific thresholds:
- The 60% floor is the minimum performance needed to earn any points. Below this threshold, the component scores 0 points and the test is failed.
- The 100% ceiling is the performance that earns maximum points. Above this threshold, no additional points are awarded.
- Performances between the floor and ceiling earn points proportionally through linear interpolation.
Body composition is scored from your Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR), with lower ratios earning more points.
Exemptions on the Score Sheet
If you have a medical profile (AF Form 469) exempting you from one or more components, the score sheet adjusts by pro-rating. The exempt component is awarded maximum points, and the remaining components are scaled to a 100-point composite. All active components must still meet the 60% floor.
For complete details, see the Exemptions and Profiles Guide.
Minimum Passing Scores by Component
The table below shows the minimum points and the approximate raw performance needed to reach the 60% floor for each component. Note that thresholds vary by age and gender — these are general examples.
| Component | Max Points | Min to Pass (60%) | Example Floor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cardiorespiratory (2-Mile Run) | 50 pts | 30 pts | ~15:36 run (male under 25) |
| Cardiorespiratory (HAMR) | 50 pts | 30 pts | ~40 laps (male under 25) |
| Body Composition (WHtR) | 20 pts | 12 pts | WHtR ≤ 0.55 |
| Strength (Push-ups) | 15 pts | 9 pts | ~28 reps (male under 25) |
| Core (Sit-ups) | 15 pts | 9 pts | ~35 reps (male under 25) |
| Core (Plank) | 15 pts | 9 pts | ~1:30 hold (male under 25) |
