  1. A Soldier sustains an acute injury mid-ACFT. What is the grader's immediate first priority?

    Answer: Ensure the Soldier's immediate safety and summon medical assistance

    Soldier safety is always the first priority; graders must halt the test and summon medical assistance before any documentation or notifications.

  2. How does the ACFT scoring system account for older Soldiers, such as those aged 52–56?

    Answer: Graders apply the age-specific scoring standards listed for that Soldier's age bracket

    The ACFT uses age-normed scoring standards, so graders apply the bracket that matches the Soldier's actual age as indicated on the scorecard.

  3. A Soldier's profile prohibits running but does not restrict upper body or lifting. Which events must the Soldier still complete?

    Answer: All events except the 2-Mile Run and Sprint-Drag-Carry, plus an approved alternate aerobic event

    A running restriction means the Soldier completes all non-running events and substitutes an approved alternate aerobic event for the 2-Mile Run; the Sprint-Drag-Carry sprint lanes may also require profile review.

  4. What swim stroke(s) are authorized for the 1,000-meter alternate aerobic event?

    Answer: Any stroke specified as authorized in the Soldier's physical profile

    The authorized swim stroke(s) are defined in the Soldier's physical profile to ensure the movement is medically appropriate for that individual.

  5. A Soldier voluntarily withdraws from the ACFT after completing four events due to a new knee pain. How should the grader record the results?

    Answer: Record scores for the four completed events and mark remaining events as 'withdrew'

    Scores earned for completed events are recorded, and remaining events are marked as 'withdrew' per Army testing policy when a Soldier withdraws due to injury.

  6. Which of the following best describes a 'temporary profile' in the ACFT context?

    Answer: A time-limited restriction, typically 30–180 days, documented on DA Form 3349

    A temporary profile is a time-limited medical restriction typically lasting 30 to 180 days, documented on DA Form 3349 to address short-term conditions.

  7. How does the ACFT scoring standard differ between male and female Soldiers of the same age group?

    Answer: The ACFT uses gender-neutral, age-normed standards identical for both genders in the same age group

    The ACFT was designed with gender-neutral, age-normed standards, so Soldiers of the same age group are held to identical performance thresholds regardless of gender.
