Similarly, the minimum passing score (60 points) for the MDL, SPT, HRP, and SDC was set at the 5th percentile. The maximum (100 points) was set at the 96th percentile of performance within each age group and for each event. The new age and gender performance-normed scoring scales were developed using the data from the nearly 630,000 ACFT scores, historic performance rates from the APFT, and scoring scales from other branches of the U.S.
Instead, the plank was determined to provide a similar testing experience and more accurately assess core strength for all Soldiers. The new scoring standards were developed from historic performance rates and more accurately assess individual physical fitness goals reflective of age and gender categories.The leg tuck was removed after RAND concluded the exercise did not correctly measure core strength in all Soldiers.
In addition, the Army will establish an ACFT governance body to continue to assess testing data and provide a comprehensive analysis, with any recommended future modifications to the ACFT, in April 2023. Additional changes include the plank as the sole core-strength event and the addition of the 2.5-mile walk as an alternate aerobic event. The test now includes performance-normed scoring standards, scaled to age and gender. The Army will implement a revised ACFT, starting on April 1, 2022, that will include several differences based on 630,000 sample ACFT test scores, the RAND independent assessment and feedback from Soldiers.
