Army ACFT Score Tips – Get to the TOP of the Chart
- Alaimoana Paunga Jr. from Poly Physiques
- “How To Train And Score High On The ACFT” – Made by Junior – Poly Physiques:
- YouTube Channel: Poly Physiques
This video was made and is presented by Junior from Poly Physiques, a Soldier who successfully passed the ACFT testing. Actually, his score was pretty amazing. As we can see in the video, he passed the test with scoring maximum points on almost all of the events, except for the Two Mile Run event. That is actually a great score! Congratulations man!
Now, he wants to share his tips and tricks with everyone who is interested in passing the ACFT. He included in the video some useful stuff that can be helpful for you guys.
Junior begins with an explanation of the ACFT Scoring chart.
He explained what those numbers in the chart actually means. In a few words, it is important to understand that there are maximum points for all candidates, and minimum points for every MOS category that you belong to.
After that, he explained every event included in the ACFT. This is an important part, because every single event of the ACFT is explained thoroughly:
Poly Physiques’ on ACFT Score Chart and Each Event
- Deadlift: The first event is the deadlift. As you can see on the ACFT Score Chart, the maximum points are for lifting 340 pounds, and the minimum score depends on your category based on your MOS. To do this event right, you have to be positioned in the middle of the bar so you can grab the bar in the center to have a perfect balance. Then, you should do 3 reps, pick it right up, come down, drop, then pick it right back up. This is an untimed event, so you can take your time to prepare well.
- Standing Power Throw: This is also an untimed event. There are 16 lanes on the ground in front of you and each lane is about 25 meters long, It’s simple, just take the 10 pounds medicine ball, stand at the base of the line with your back facing the lanes, and throw the ball backwards over your head. As Junior said “The key is not to go high but more towards the direction”. So, pay attention to throwing the ball in a straight line as much as you can, not as high as you can, to get a bigger distance for the throwing.
- Hand release push-ups: This is the first timed event, so you’ll have 2 minutes to complete it. Lower your body to the ground, lay on your chest, then spread your arms sideways to form a “T”. The rest of it is the same as the regular push-up. Continue with doing push-ups as much as you can.
- Spring-Drag-Carry: “One of the harder events in my opinion”, as Junior says. And it really is. This is a timed event and your speed will be crucial! There are 5 moves that you have to complete continually:
JR’s Explains ACFT Score Standards for the SDC
– Sprint: You will start at the base of the line and sprint to the end at about 25 meters, touch the base of the line and then sprint back to where you started,
– Sled drag: As soon as you finish with the sprint, you should immediately continue towards the straps of the sled. The sled weight is 90 pound. You should get the straps and start with the dragging the sled backwards all the way to the base line. Then, you should turn around the cone and head back. Keep dragging the sled until you reach the baseline from where you started,
– Shuffle – Which is moving sideways with your feet without crossing in the front or in the back of your feet. It’s running sideways up and down the 25 meters field. And here is a good tip from Junior: “It doesn’t matter which direction you face as long as you face the same direction on your way down to 25 meter and back, so you can work both sides of your legs”,
– Kettlebell carry – Pick up the 40 pounds kettlebells and sprint down the 25 meter marker as fast as you can, then sprint all the way back. Also, we have a good tip from Junior: “Instead of leaving your hands extended and dangling the way around, it’s gonna slow you down, I recommend to use your biceps to kinda pick up the weight to help you stabilize your movement as you sprinting down as fast as you can”,
– Sprint – This is the fifth and final movement for this event. You need to sprint up and down the 25 meters yard again to complete this event.
Last 2 Events on the ACFT Score Chart
- Leg Tuck: Start this event with mounting on the bar. Get a good grip, then, get your feet off the ground and start lifting your knees up to touch your elbows. For this event Junior recommends: “You can keep your arms extended, or you can bend at the elbow and use your biceps to kinda stabilize yourself from swinging”.
- Two Mile Run: “By far my least favorite event of it all, because I hate running”, Junior said. Well, you can’t like them all, nobody is perfect, right? Anyway, the point is that you should run two miles as fast as you can. Just be sure that you can run faster than the minimum time required according to the ACFT Scoring Standards for your MOS.
That was a detailed explanation of all the ACFT events by Junior. Then, he shares some good exercises that can help you to prepare yourself for the ACFT events.
More Tips on Scoring BIG for the ACFT
- Deadlift – For this event you can exercise on The back extension machine, or similar platforms that you have in your gym. You lock your heels under a pad or roller, with another pad to support your lower body as you recline face-down. Once you feel ready, you can use extra weights for this exercise by holding weights tight to your chest while doing this exercise.
- Standing Power Throw – Take dumbbell or kettlebell. Then, lie down on the bench only with your back supported by the bench and with your legs bended and your feet placed on the floor. Next, lift the weight and hold it up with your arms extended. Last, swing the bell over and behind your head with your arms extended all the time.
- Hand release push ups – For this event you can prepare yourself with doing The Arnold press. Start with your dumbbells positioned in front of your face, then pull them up until your hands are fully extended, and then bring them right back in your starting position. As Junior says: “From experience, you are not only gonna be using your chest muscles, but you are gonna be using your shoulder muscles and you are gonna be super tired, so this is gonna help you improve”,
Last 2 Tips for Increasing Your ACFT Score Standards
- Sprint-Drag-Carry – Every exercise for improvement of your legs strength, like squats or lunges is suitable for your preparation. But, Junior says that the real thing you will need for this are your hip flexors. His favorite exercise is the leg raises. To do it, you need to lie down on the ground with your arms positioned under your lower back, keep your legs fully extended and then start raising them up towards your chest.
- Two mile run – To prepare for this event, Junior recommends: “Incorporate sprints in your regular workout or training regimes, hill sprints, interval sprints on the track, but you can also do light pole sprints during your run days”.
That’s it guys. Thanks to this video I hope that preparing for the ACFT will be easier. And, also I hope that you will achieve great results on the test.
ACFT Standards by MOS (OLD)
As we should all know. Standards by MOS are not a thing. I kept this chart up for kick and giggles. We can all sit back and laugh about losing a real test with real standards. Sad…

The OLD (2020) ACFT Score Chart
Hey guys, this video is about the ACFT Score and ACFT Scoring Standards. The first thing you need to know is that now the ACFT scoring is based only on your MOS. Previously, your gender and age were significant for the ACFT scoring, but now it’s ACFT Scoring by MOS, and the only thing that is taken into consideration is your MOS.
Now, based on your MOS, you have three different ways to score: heavy, significant and moderate. The ACFT score will always depend on what classification you’re in. In case you do not know what classification you are in, there is a calculator on my website for your help. You just need to type your MOS and the calculator will show you what classification you are in.
Therefore, I will explain to you what every MOS specific means:
– Moderate is the lowest level;
– Significant is the mid-range;
– Heavy means that your ACFT score would be the hardest;
These numbers show just the minimum ACFT scores you’ll need to get based on what classification you are in. On the top of the table are the ACFT’s maximums. The maximums are relevant for every category without taking into consideration the age, gender or MOS of the candidate.
Here is an example: Significant
Furthermore, I would like to explain a little bit more about the MOS scoring categories. I will take the mid-range Significant level and use it as an example for you guys.
Let’s just say that you belong to the Significant category based on your MOS. These are the maximum and minimum scoring points for this MOS category:
- Deadlifts – As you can see from the table, in this column the maximum score is 340 pounds and your minimum score should be 180 pounds for 3 reps.
- Standing power throw – In this column the maximum score is 12.5 meters, and your minimum score should be 6.5 meters.
- Hand release push ups – In this column the maximum score is 60 reps, and your minimum score should be 20 reps.
- Sprint-drag carry – In this column the maximum scoring time is 1 minute and 33 seconds, and your minimum scoring time should be 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
- Leg tuck – In this column the maximum score is 20 reps, and your minimum score should be 3 reps.
- 2 mile run – And in this last column the maximum score is 13 minutes and 30 seconds, and your minimum score should be 19 minutes.
