Use this Navy PRT calculator for legacy curl-up-era score comparison with age and sex category tables, drag-event guidance, next-threshold targets.

Legacy curl-up PRT scoring This Navy PRT calculator scores an older curl-up version of the Physical Readiness Test. Current Navy PFA guidance uses forearm plank, push-ups, and approved cardio paths in official PFA calculator workflows, so use this page only for historical comparison or older record context unless your command specifically still needs this format.
Current-use caution
For current-cycle Navy PFA scoring, verify results in the official Navy PFA calculator, current Guide 5, PRIMS workflow, and your Command Fitness Leader guidance. This page intentionally keeps the legacy curl-up model separate to avoid mixing standards.

Navy PRT calculator guide: legacy curl-up scoring, current Navy readiness context
This page scores an older curl-up version of the Navy Physical Readiness Test (PRT). That needs to be stated clearly because current Navy readiness guidance and the current instruction set describe newer standards and event guidance. Use this worksheet for older record comparison or legacy training context, not as a substitute for current official Navy scoring unless your command specifically tells you to use this format.
How this legacy worksheet scores the older PRT format
The calculator uses age- and sex-adjusted category tables for curl-ups, push-ups, and the 1.5-mile run. It then assigns the overall PRT category by taking the lowest single event category, which means one weak event can pull the whole sheet down.
That rule makes sense for the older three-event model, but it should not be mistaken for a complete picture of current Navy readiness policy. Always defer to the current Navy instruction and your command fitness staff for official use.
Worked example: older Outstanding High sheet
In the older table set used by this calculator, a 22-year-old male sailor with 115 curl-ups, 105 push-ups, and an 8:00 1.5-mile run receives Outstanding High in all three events and therefore Outstanding High overall.
That example is useful only inside the older scoring model. It should not be used to infer the official result format for a current-cycle PRT without checking current Navy guidance.
Current Navy readiness context
Current Navy physical readiness guidance points to the latest instruction version and the current PRT guide. Those materials are the right source for official scoring, current event expectations, alternate cardio modalities, and current administrative policy.
Because of that, this page is deliberately framed as a legacy worksheet rather than a definitive current Navy scoring authority.
Why the current Navy PFA calculator may not match this legacy sheet
Most current Navy PRT calculator searches are now looking for push-ups, forearm plank, and an approved cardio event such as the 1.5-mile run, row, swim, or another authorized modality. This page does not score that current model because its purpose is to preserve the older curl-up-era comparison workflow without blending two different standards.
If you need a current Navy PFA calculator result, use the official MyNavy Portal calculator workflow and the current Guide 5 chart set. That matters because current standards include plank scoring, alternate cardio paths, altitude rules, BCA workflow context, and PRIMS-related result handling that this older worksheet does not model.
The calculator still adds value for older records because it shows the weakest event, next legacy threshold, pass-floor target, and lowest-category rule. Those details make the legacy sheet easier to interpret than a bare category output while keeping current official scoring clearly separated.
Use this page for legacy curl-up, push-up, and 1.5-mile run comparison.
Use the current Navy PFA calculator for forearm plank and alternate cardio scoring.
Use Guide 5 and your Command Fitness Leader for official standards, waivers, and record-use decisions.
Do not mix curl-up-era category tables with current-cycle plank or alternate-cardio standards.
How to read the next-threshold table
The next-threshold table shows two practical targets for each legacy event. The next target is the nearest better category row. The pass target appears only when an event is below Satisfactory Low, because that is the first priority before chasing a stronger category.
The drag-event marker identifies the event or events setting the overall legacy result. If the run is Good Low while curl-ups and push-ups are Excellent, the run controls the final category. If two events tie for the lowest category, improving only one may not raise the overall sheet yet.
That interpretation layer is important because the Navy PRT category is not an average of the three event labels in this legacy model. It is determined by the lowest event category.
Frequently asked questions
Is this calculator using the current official Navy PRT format?
Not necessarily. This page is explicitly framed as a legacy curl-up-era PRT worksheet. Current official scoring, event rules, and cycle policy should always be checked against the latest Navy instruction and the current PRT guide.
Can I swim instead of run?
Current Navy guidance allows alternate cardio modalities in some circumstances, but this calculator scores only the standard 1.5-mile run. For current official alternate-event policy, use the latest Navy physical readiness guidance and your CFL.
How is the overall PRT category determined here?
The overall category is the lowest category across curl-ups, push-ups, and the run. That means one weak event can determine the full sheet even if the other two are much stronger.
Why does this Navy PRT calculator use curl-ups instead of plank?
This route is intentionally limited to an older curl-up-era worksheet for legacy record comparison. Current Navy PFA standards use forearm plank rather than curl-ups, so current official scores should be checked with the official Navy PFA calculator, current Guide 5, and your Command Fitness Leader.
Does this page score Navy alternate cardio events?
No. This legacy worksheet scores only the 1.5-mile run. Current Navy guidance includes approved alternate cardio paths in specific circumstances, but those should be handled through the current official calculator workflow and command guidance.
What does the drag event mean?
The drag event is the event currently setting the overall legacy category. Because the overall category is the lowest event category, improving the drag event is usually the fastest way to raise the worksheet result.
Can I use this calculator for an official Navy record?
No. Treat it as an educational legacy comparison tool only. Official Navy PFA scores, BCA status, waivers, alternate events, and record-use outcomes must be verified through current Navy procedures and qualified command fitness personnel.
Why might another Navy PRT calculator show different events?
Many current Navy PRT calculators are built around push-ups, forearm plank, and current cardio options. This page is deliberately different because it preserves an older curl-up model and labels it as legacy rather than mixing current and older standards.
