Army Physical Fitness Test Score Calculator
I originally wrote the APFT score calculator when I was in the JROTC program back in high school. I needed an easy way to calculate scores and generate a score report for a large number of cadets (all in the male 17-21 age category), including generating scores on an extended scale. I had designed it for my own personal use, although I had also linked it from the JROTC unit's web site in case somebody else also could get some use out of it.At some point Google (as well as other engines) picked up the address of the calculator, and indexed it very high in its results. The score calculator had been getting a couple hundred of hits a month from civilian and military networks from around the world, leading me to believe that some folks were finding it quite useful despite its limited functionality. As such, I decided to re-write the calculator from scratch, adding the capability for multiple age categories, proper extended scale results (in accordance with FM 21-20), and cleaner output, among other things. I hope that you'll find version 2 of the calculator useful.

Updates:
- 17 October 2007 - Version 2.51
- Added push-up and/or sit-up exemption for soldiers with permanent profiles for these events. Enter "P" as the number of repetitions for these soldiers. See the notes page for more information.
- Fixed bug where soldiers who earned exactly 60 points on an alternate aerobic event were incorrectly marked as a NO-GO on the generated APFT scorecard; fixed a bug where soldiers who earned a GO on an alternate aerobic event were incorrectly marked as a NO-GO on the generated APFT scorecard if their push-up/sit-up score average was less than 60.
- 1 September 2007 - Version 2.5. Based directly on user comments and suggestions, I've added several new features I think everybody will
find helpful.
- Calculator now has the ability to score alternate aerobic events for all age groups. Please visit the new notes page for details regarding the scoring of the alternate events.
- You can now export scores directly to DA Form 705 (APFT Scorecard) in PDF format. On the score display page, click the
icon to create a quick scorecard based only on already-entered mandatory data (soldier name, gender, age, and
raw APFT points). Click the 
icon and you will be presented with a scorecard creation form where you can enter additional data
to populate the scorecard with. Information you enter into the Unit, Test Date, and OIC Signature fields
will be automatically populated into subsequent loads of the scorecard creation page. - Minor interface enhancements.
Thanks to users who have submitted ideas and comments - your feedback is appreciated. - 2 July 2006 - Returned home from Iraq about a month and a half ago. Happy Fourth of July to everyone.
- 9 February 2006 - Version 2.1 launched. I re-wrote the scoring table portion of the program, allowing me to use a table exported from Excel to serve as the backend of the scoring table. All age groups and scores listed in Chapter 14 of FM 21-20 are now available for scoring.
- Version 2.0 of the APFT score calculator is up and running; currently, only male 17-21 scoring is available. I'll be adding some more categories as time permits (it's tedious data-entry stuff). If you'd be willing to format a category or two, please contact me. Note: I will be activating for deployment to the middle east in January 2005. For more information, please see my personal site.
