Navy PRT scoring guide
The Navy PRT calculator uses Guide 5A point rows for each supported event. The total PRT score is based on category-level performance across the tested modalities, so raw event points matter. The current calculator stores public row breakpoints for age groups 17-19 through 65+ and for male and female standards.
This page is meant to help sailors understand the calculator before entering results. Navy scoring is easy to misread because the same raw result can mean different things by age group, sex, and cardio modality. A plank time that is strong in one group may only be average in another, and an alternate cardio event is not automatically equivalent to a run time unless it is evaluated against the correct table.
Events covered
| Component | Supported input | Point direction |
|---|---|---|
| Upper body | Push-ups | More repetitions score higher. |
| Core | Forearm plank | Longer plank time scores higher. |
| Cardio | 1.5-mile run, 2-km row, 500-yard swim, 450-meter swim | Faster time scores higher. |
Why row lookup matters
The Navy tables use fixed category rows such as 100, 95, 90, 85, 80, 75, 70, 65, 60, 55, 50, and 45 points. The site does not interpolate between broad categories. If a result meets a row threshold, the calculator awards that row's points; if it does not meet the lowest row threshold, it scores below the selected standard.
That row behavior is why the calculator asks for raw repetitions and times instead of asking for a category label. Entering Excellent, Good, or Satisfactory would hide the detail that matters for planning. A sailor trying to move from one category to the next needs to know the raw target, not only the label.
Combat arms option
The calculator includes a combat-arms PRT option with a higher total pass threshold. Use it only for planning unless your command has confirmed that the combat standard applies to your billet or requirement.
Choosing a cardio event
The Navy permits multiple cardio modalities when the member is authorized to use them. myptscore.us keeps those modalities separate because a 2-km row, 500-yard swim, 450-meter swim, and 1.5-mile run do not share one universal conversion formula. Select the event you actually performed or expect to perform, then enter the recorded time. If a command, medical profile, or cycle-specific instruction restricts the event, follow that instruction over a planning estimate.
How to read the report
The report is designed to answer three practical questions: did the result meet the selected minimum, which component is limiting the score, and what event should be trained next. If one component is much weaker than the others, the average can mask that weakness unless the component detail is reviewed. For example, a strong run cannot fully compensate for a plank or push-up result that does not meet the required row.
Common planning mistakes
- Selecting the wrong age group after a birthday near the PRT cycle.
- Comparing a row or swim score to a run standard instead of the matching Guide 5A table.
- Entering points manually instead of entering the actual repetitions or time.
- Ignoring administrative limits on alternate cardio events.
Frequently asked questions
Does the calculator average category labels or point values?
The calculator works from the row values behind the selected raw results. That gives a more useful planning estimate than averaging labels alone.
Why did a slightly faster time not change my points?
The new time may not have crossed the next Guide 5A row. Row-based scoring changes only after the next threshold is reached.
Can I compare swim and run times directly?
No. Each cardio option has its own published table. Choose the cardio event that matches the test event you are planning for.
