How to Calculate Your Navy PRT Score (2026 Official Standards)
📋 On This Page
Imagine you’re 48 hours out from your semi-annual Physical Fitness Assessment and you have no idea whether your last training run actually puts you in Good or Excellent territory. You know your push-up count and your run time, but the official scoring tables in OPNAVINST 6110.1K span dozens of pages of age- and gender-specific numbers. That’s exactly the problem this calculator solves.
⚡ Quick Answer: The Navy PRT scores push-ups, curl-ups, and a 1.5-mile run on a 0–100 scale using age- and gender-specific tables from OPNAVINST 6110.1K. Your overall score is the average of all three events. You need at least 60 points per event and a 60 overall average to pass (Satisfactory-Low). Use the calculator below to find your exact score and performance category in seconds.
This page gives you a working Navy PRT Calculator, a plain-English breakdown of the 2026 standards, two fully worked examples, and the most common scoring mistakes I see sailors make when they self-assess. Let’s get into it. 🎯

- Enter your curl-up count — The number of curl-ups completed in the 2-minute window.
- Enter your 1.5-mile run time — Type minutes and seconds separately (e.g., 10 min 30 sec).
- Click Calculate — Your individual event scores, overall average, and performance category appear instantly with a step-by-step breakdown.
What Is the Navy PRT?
The Navy Physical Readiness Test (PRT) is the physical performance component of the semi-annual Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA). It tests three things: upper-body muscular endurance (push-ups), core muscular endurance (curl-ups), and cardiovascular fitness (1.5-mile run). Every active-duty and Selected Reserve sailor must pass it twice a year.
The PRT is governed by OPNAVINST 6110.1K, the Navy’s Physical Readiness Program instruction. The PFA itself has two parts: the Body Composition Assessment (BCA) comes first, and sailors who fail the BCA cannot attempt the PRT. A PFA failure — from either the BCA or the PRT — triggers enrollment in the Fitness Enhancement Program (FEP) and can affect promotion eligibility.
In my experience working with students preparing for military fitness tests, the single biggest mistake is training to the minimum passing threshold. The Navy PRT is not a one-time hurdle — it’s a career-long standard. I always recommend training for Excellent so that a bad test day still lands you in Good. That buffer has saved more than a few careers.

Official 2026 Navy PRT Standards Explained
The Navy scores each event on a 0–100 scale using lookup tables that vary by gender and 10-year age bracket. Your overall PRT score is the simple arithmetic mean of all three event scores.
Performance Categories
The table below shows every official performance band and the score range it requires. Note that Outstanding and Excellent each have three sub-tiers — the calculator above reports the full sub-tier label.
| Performance Category | Overall Score Range | Per-Event Minimum | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🏅 Outstanding-High | 100 | ≥ 60 each | PASS |
| 🏅 Outstanding-Medium | 95–99 | ≥ 60 each | PASS |
| 🏅 Outstanding-Low | 90–94 | ≥ 60 each | PASS |
| ⭐ Excellent-High | 85–89 | ≥ 60 each | PASS |
| ⭐ Excellent-Medium | 80–84 | ≥ 60 each | PASS |
| ⭐ Excellent-Low | 75–79 | ≥ 60 each | PASS |
| ✅ Good-High | 70–74 | ≥ 60 each | PASS |
| ✅ Good-Medium | 65–69 | ≥ 60 each | PASS |
| ✅ Good-Low / Satisfactory | 60–64 | ≥ 60 each | PASS |
| ❌ Probationary | Below 60 in any event or overall | — | FAIL → FEP |
One critical rule many sailors overlook: you can fail the PRT even with a high overall average if a single event scores below 60. A sailor who runs a
