How to Calculate Air Force PT Test Score

The Air Force Physical Fitness Test (PT Test) is a comprehensive assessment of an airman's physical fitness. Calculating the PT Test score involves evaluating performance across four different components and converting raw scores into points.

Air Force PT Test Scoring Formula

The PT Test score is calculated by summing the points earned in each of the four components:

$$\text{PT Test Score} = \text{Waist Score} + \text{Push-ups Score} + \text{Sit-ups Score} + \text{Run Score}$$

Where:

• Waist Score: 0-20 points based on waist circumference
• Push-ups Score: 0-10 points based on number of push-ups completed in 1 minute
• Sit-ups Score: 0-10 points based on number of sit-ups completed in 1 minute
• Run Score: 0-60 points based on 1.5 mile run time

Calculation Steps

1. Measure waist circumference and perform each of the three PT Test events, recording your raw scores.
2. Convert each raw score to a point value using the Air Force PT Test scoring tables.
3. Sum the point values from all four components to get your total PT Test score.

Example Calculation

Let's calculate the PT Test score for an airman with the following performance:

• Waist Circumference: 32 inches
• Push-ups: 40 repetitions
• Sit-ups: 45 repetitions
• 1.5 Mile Run: 12:30 minutes

Step 1: Convert raw scores to points (using simplified formulas)

Waist: $$\max(0, \min(20, 20 - (32 - 30) \times 2)) = 16 \text{ points}$$

Push-ups: $$\min(10, \frac{40}{5}) = 8 \text{ points}$$

Sit-ups: $$\min(10, \frac{45}{5}) = 9 \text{ points}$$

Run: $$\max(0, \min(60, 60 - \frac{750 - 600}{10})) = 45 \text{ points}$$

Step 2: Sum the points from all components

$$\begin{align} \text{Total PT Test Score} &= 16 + 8 + 9 + 45 \\ &= 78 \text{ points} \end{align}$$

Therefore, this airman's estimated PT Test score is 78 points.
