How to fill out DA Form 705-AFT, the AFT scorecard

Published October 19, 2026

Quick answer: At the start of the test you print, in ink, your name, unit and sex, then the date, MOS, pay grade, age and standard for the test. Graders write each event’s raw score and their initials, and the points are filled in at the event or after the run. Then the OIC, NCOIC or grader adds up the total, you check your raw scores and sign, and the OIC or NCOIC signs below the GO or NO-GO box.

FPKT, a free app for iPhone, iPad and Mac, scores your five events and fills in the Test One column of an April 2026 DA Form 705-AFT as a PDF you can save or print.

To fill out DA Form 705-AFT, you write your own details at the top and in your test column before the first event, and the graders fill in everything else as you go. DA Form 705-AFT is the Army Fitness Test (AFT) scorecard, dated April 2026. The form says previous editions are obsolete, so this is the card to use instead of the older ACFT scorecards that still come up in search.

Below is every block on the card, in order, with who fills it in and what goes there.

Which scorecard is current?

The current card is DA Form 705-AFT, Army Fitness Test Scorecard, April 2026. The Army Publishing Directorate lists it as Change 100, dated 1 April 2026. The test manual, ATP 7-22.01 (12 March 2026), still calls the scorecard “DA Form 705-TEST.” It was published a few weeks before the new card. AR 350-1 still uses the older names too. If your unit hands you a 705-TEST, ask your OIC or NCOIC which card they want, because the April 2026 form says earlier editions are obsolete.

One card holds four tests. Each page has two side-by-side columns, Test One and Test Two on page 1 and Test Three and Test Four on page 2, so the same card can follow you through several record tests.

How to fill out DA Form 705-AFT, block by block

The OIC or NCOIC (officer or noncommissioned officer in charge) hands each Soldier one scorecard before the test and tells you to fill in your personal data. ATP 7-22.01 says to print it in ink.

The top of the card (you)

Name (Last, First, MI). Last name, first name, middle initial.
Unit/Location. Your unit and where it’s based.
Sex. Check Male or Female. On the General standard, your sex and age decide which scoring column you use.

Under that is a note pointing to the AFT score tables on army.mil and the Privacy Act statement. You don’t write anything there. Height and weight aren’t on the card. ATP 7-22.01 says they aren’t needed for a valid scorecard or AFT.

The test header (you)

Date (YYYYMMDD). Year, month, day with no spaces, so 19 October 2026 is 20261019. Every date block on the card uses this format.
AOC/MOS. Your area of concentration (officers) or military occupational specialty, such as 11B or 68W.
Pay grade. For example E-4 or O-2.
Age. Your age, which sets your age group on the score tables.
Standard: Combat or General. Check Combat if your MOS or AOC is one of the combat specialties. Everyone else checks General. Our guide to how the AFT is scored lists the combat specialties and explains the difference.

The five events (graders)

You carry the card to the first event and hand it to the grader. Each grader records your raw score and initials the block, then gives the card back for the next event. The points can be written in at the event or after the run.

Event block	Raw score written	Other blocks
3 Repetition Maximum Deadlift	Weight lifted, in pounds, on each of two attempts	A check box by each attempt, points, grader initials
Hand-Release Push-Up	Number of correctly performed reps	Points, grader initials
Sprint-Drag-Carry	Overall time (minutes:seconds)	Points, grader initials
Plank	Time held in the proper straight-line position (minutes:seconds)	Points, grader initials
2-Mile Run	Overall time (minutes:seconds)	Points, grader initials

The deadlift is the one block with a choice in it. You get two attempts. If you finish the first, the grader writes down the weight and asks if you want to try a heavier one. The grader records each attempt and checks the box next to the heaviest weight you lifted correctly. That checked weight is your raw score.

On the push-up block, only correct reps go on the card. Reps the grader doesn’t count aren’t written down.

The alternate aerobic event block (graders)

This block is only for Soldiers with a permanent profile who take an alternate event instead of the 2-mile run. The Fitness Test block names the event: the 5,000-meter row, 1,000-meter swim, 12,000-meter bike or 2.5-mile walk. On the paper form you circle it, and the fillable PDF has a drop-down list. The grader writes your time to finish the distance and checks GO or NOGO. The Points (60/0) block gets 60 for a GO and 0 for a NO-GO. You get a GO by finishing within the 60-point time for your age group in your scoring column. On the Combat standard, that’s the shared men’s and Combat column, so sex doesn’t change it.

For the 2.5-mile walk, ATP 7-22.01 says the grader writes each Soldier’s number in a comments block. The April 2026 card doesn’t have a comments block, so the grader decides where it goes.

Who adds up the points and signs the card?

After your 2-mile run time is on the card, the OIC, NCOIC or a grader makes sure every raw score has been turned into points using the official score tables and writes the Total Points. The grader goes over your scores with you. Then the bottom of your test column is filled in:

Soldier signature and date. You sign before you leave the test area. Your signature confirms your raw scores are correct, so check every number first. If one looks wrong, say so before you sign.
OIC/NCOIC name (Last, First, MI) and pay grade. The person running the test.
GO or NOGO. Whether you passed the whole test. The box sits beside the OIC/NCOIC blocks.
OIC/NCOIC signature and date.

The graders turn the signed cards in to the OIC or NCOIC.

What makes the card a GO?

The card is a GO only if you meet the standard you checked in the header. Both standards need at least 60 points on every event. Score under 60 on even one event and the whole test is a failure, however high your total. On the General standard, 60 on each event adds up to at least 300. On the Combat standard you also need a total of at least 350, an average of 70 per event. With a permanent profile, the Combat total depends on how many events you take: 280 for four, 210 for three, 140 for two and 70 for one. If you get sick or hurt during the test and fall short of the minimum, it still counts as a failure, so don’t start if you’re ill, injured or on a temporary profile that limits you.

Your points matter even after a pass. Army Directive 2026-07 (17 April 2026) requires evaluation reports to show both pass/fail and the actual points you earned on your record AFT.

Where does the scorecard go after the test?

The card is where your results are written down first. They then go into the Army’s official system, and the card itself belongs in your individual training record. The sources name that system differently. ATP 7-22.01 (March 2026) calls the Army Training Information System (ATIS) the system of record for AFT results, but the same manual also tells the OIC or NCOIC to report results in the Digital Training Management System (DTMS). AR 350-1 (June 2025) says the results are recorded in DTMS and keeps physical fitness scorecards in the individual training record in DTMS/ATIS. Ask your unit which one it uses. Either way, keep your own copy of the card.

Quick checklist before you sign

Name, unit and sex at the top are correct.
Date is in YYYYMMDD format, and your MOS, pay grade and age are right.
The right standard is checked, Combat or General.
The deadlift box is checked next to your heaviest good attempt.
Every event you took has a raw score, points and grader initials.
The total adds up. You can check the math against the official tables, or with the scoring tools on our home page.
