FAQs
How accurate is the calculator?
The calculator uses official USMC scoring tables but should be used for estimation only. Actual test scoring is administered by certified Marine Corps instructors and may include additional factors not accounted for here.
What's the minimum passing score?
Minimum scores vary by age and gender (17-26 male: 235 total, female: 195). Older age groups have slightly lower requirements. All three events must meet minimum individual requirements regardless of total score.
How often should I take the test?
Active Marines must complete the PFT twice annually. Candidates should practice monthly and do a mock test quarterly. Always consult with your commanding officer for official requirements.
