What score do I need to pass the Navy PRT?

You pass when every event reaches Probationary (45 points) or higher. For example, a man aged 20-24 needs at least 37 push-ups, a 1:10 forearm plank, and a 13:30 1.5-mile run; a woman aged 20-24 needs 16 push-ups, a 1:00 plank, and a 15:30 run. Failing any single event fails the whole PRT, regardless of the other scores.

How is the overall Navy PRT score calculated?

Each event (push-ups, forearm plank, one cardio event) earns points from the official table in 5-point steps from 45 to 100. The overall PRT score is the average of the three event scores, reported at the matching performance category and level. A failure in any event makes the overall result a failure.

What are the Navy PRT performance categories?

From highest to lowest: Outstanding (High 100, Medium 95, Low 90), Excellent (High 85, Medium 80, Low 75), Good (High 70, Medium 65, Low 60), Satisfactory (High 55, Medium 50), Probationary (45, the lowest passing score), and Failure (below Probationary on any event).

Which cardio events can I choose for the Navy PRT?

The 1.5-mile run or walk is the standard test. With commanding-officer approval, alternatives are the 2,000-meter row, a treadmill run at 1.0 percent incline (scored with the run table), a 500-yard or 450-meter swim, and a 12-minute stationary bike. This calculator scores the run, treadmill, row, and both swim distances.

How is the stationary bike scored on the Navy PRT?

The 12-minute stationary bike is scored by calories burned, and the standards depend on the bike model (Life Fitness models versus other models). The official Navy PFA mobile application computes the score from the bike model and caloric output, so no public points table exists. This calculator therefore explains the bike test instead of estimating a score.

Do Navy PRT standards change above 5,000 feet altitude?

Yes. Guide-5A provides a separate Table 4-2 for test sites above 5,000 feet, with slower cardio standards (run, row, and swim times) to account for altitude. Push-up and plank standards are unchanged. Use the altitude toggle in this calculator to score with the high-altitude table.

What happened to curl-ups and sit-ups on the Navy PRT?

The Navy replaced curl-ups with the forearm plank, fully implemented in 2021. The PRT now consists of push-ups, the forearm plank, and one cardio event. Curl-ups and sit-ups are no longer scored.

How is the Navy PRT different from the Army ACFT or the old APFT?

The Navy PRT scores push-ups, a forearm plank, and one cardio event on a 45-100 point scale per event, with the overall score as the average. The Army ACFT is a six-event test scored 0-100 per event (600 max) with deadlift, power throw, hand-release push-ups, sprint-drag-carry, plank or leg tuck, and a 2-mile run. The legacy APFT was push-ups, sit-ups, and a 2-mile run scored 0-100 per event. See our ACFT calculator and APFT calculator for the Army tests.

How often do Sailors take the Navy PRT?

Twice per year. The PRT is the fitness-test portion of the Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA), which also includes the Body Composition Assessment, and every Sailor tests once in each PFA cycle.

Is this an official Navy PRT calculator?

No. This is an independent training tool built from the official U.S. Navy Guide-5A Physical Readiness Test tables dated December 2025 (under OPNAVINST 6110.1L). Your score of record is entered into PRIMS by your Command Fitness Leader. Use this calculator for training and goal-setting only.

What happens if I fail one PRT event?

Failing one or more individual modalities results in an overall PRT failure, even if the other events score well. Guide-5A states the PRT is passed only when a Sailor achieves Probationary or higher on all modalities: push-ups, forearm plank, and one cardio event.

Where do this calculator's scoring tables come from?

All standards are transcribed from the official U.S. Navy Guide-5A, Physical Readiness Test, dated December 2025, Table 4-1 (altitudes below 5,000 feet) and Table 4-2 (altitudes above 5,000 feet), covering 11 age groups from 17-19 to 65+ for men and women, at 12 score levels from 45 to 100 points.

Score your Physical Readiness Test with the official Guide-5A (Dec 2025) tables: push-ups, forearm plank, and your choice of cardio — 1.5-mile run, 2km row, or swim — by age group and gender. Get per-event points, performance category, overall score, and pass/fail.

Training tool, not an official score. This calculator is for education and training planning only. Your official PRT score is recorded by your Command Fitness Leader in PRIMS. Standards shown are the Navy's published tables; always confirm with your CFL. Not medical advice — train sensibly and stop if something hurts.

The 12-minute bike test is graded on calories burned, and the standards depend on the bike model (Life Fitness Inc. models use a different procedure than other models). The official PFA mobile app computes the score from the bike model and caloric output, so there is no public points table to calculate from — we don't estimate it here. A caloric output of “20” is recorded if you stop to rest, stop the machine, stand up, or remove your hands from the handlebars.

Scoring rule: you earn the points of the highest listed standard you meet or beat (reps/plank at or above the number; cardio time at or below it). Overall = average of the three event scores. Standards: Guide-5A Table 4-1.

Reminder: this is a training estimate. Your score of record comes from your Command Fitness Leader in PRIMS.

Official scoring tables by age group

Full Guide-5A tables — all 12 score levels (100 down to 45) for push-ups, forearm plank, 1.5-mile run, 2km row, 500-yd and 450-m swim.

Push-up and plank standards are identical at both altitudes; only cardio times adjust above 5,000 ft. Treadmill is scored with the 1.5-mile run column.

The Navy PRT is a fitness test score — different from body-composition screening, and different from the Army's tests:

Boundary note: this tool scores the Navy Physical Readiness Test (push-ups / plank / cardio performance). It does not estimate body-fat percentage — that is a separate Body Composition Assessment.
