Answer 2

Here is the real deal, just follow the link scroll down the page a little and you will see by gender and age then click on the appropriate link for your gender and age. It's kind of tricky to read at first. Read the columns from right to left. the outer most columns is the points score, the next column is the number of repetitions completed. Say you did 42 push up repetitions, look for the 42 reps then look at the block to the immediate right to get the point score. 17-21 year old male, 42 push ups equals 60 points. You need to have a minimum of 60 points to pass the event. If you fail to get 60 points in any one event you are considered a failure for the entire test no matter how well you did in the other events. Bottom line score 60 points or more in all 3 events. 60 points is OK but never strive for bare minimum. your best bet is to work to max your events, that is to score 100 points in all 3 events. If you can't do it at first, that's fine just keep working toward that goal

Answer 3

It depends on your gender and age and if you are in training or permanent party, but the Army does NOT require pullups. Just pushups, situps and a 2 mile run. You can find the stats here: http://usmilitary.about.com/od/army/a/afpt.htm

Answer 4

That depends on your age and gender. You can go to www.goarmy.com or military.com and look it up for your age group. You are required to make 60 points in each event.
