PFT

Physical Fitness Test

The Marine Corps PFT is administered twice a year (January–June cycle). Three events: pull-ups (max score 100) or push-ups (max score 70), a forearm plank hold, and a 3-mile run. Maximum score is 300. The CFT covers the other half of the year. The Coast Guard also uses a PFT (push-ups, forearm plank, and a 1.5-mile run / 12-minute swim / 2,000-meter row choice) that became service-wide July 1, 2026.
