AFT Promotion Points Chart for SGT and SSG
Last updated: 30 August 2026
Key takeaways
Use the AFT promotion points chart after you have a passing five-event total. Combat MOS Soldiers still need the 350 combat pass described on AFT standards before the promotion conversion matters.

SGT & SSG Promotion Points Matrix
Convert your 5-event AFT total score directly into Army Promotion Points for the monthly cutoff list. Maximize physical fitness points for your next rank.
A legal AFT total comes first
Promotion points do not replace the test of record. Score events on the AFT score chart, then run the AFT calculator. The Army Fitness Test page at army.mil/aft is the source for 60-per-event and 300/350 totals. Army Directive 2025-06 sets how often most Soldiers must pass a record AFT — PDF.
SGT vs SSG fitness-point caps
The interactive matrix above converts an AFT total into the physical-fitness slice of a semi-centralized promotion points worksheet. Caps differ for SGT and SSG. That conversion sits under AR 600-8-19 (Enlisted Promotions and Reductions), not inside ATP 7-22.01 scoring tables. Confirm the live promotion regulation on armypubs.army.mil before a board.
- Pass every event (60-point floor) on the correct combat or general scale.
- Record the attempt on a DA Form 705 score card.
- Enter the total in the matrix on this page.

FAQ
How do AFT scores convert to promotion points?
After you have a passing Army Fitness Test total, the promotion points chart maps that total into physical-fitness points toward SGT (E-5) or SSG (E-6). The conversion is not the same table as the 0–100 event scale.
Do I earn promotion points if I fail one AFT event?
No. A fail on any event is a failed AFT. Promotion points assume a legal record total. Fix the failing event on the training plan and score chart first.
Is the promotion points chart the AFT score chart?
No. The AFT score chart turns raw event marks into 0–100 points. This page turns an already-scored total into enlisted promotion points.
Where do I record the AFT that feeds promotion points?
Record attempts on DA Form 705-AFT. Use this site’s score-card generator, then confirm the official form on the Army Publishing Directorate.
