Great app for tracking scores on the go
This is a great app for tracking your practice and assessment scores on the go. It's also easy to play with different scores to know where practicing and improving will most increase your score.
This has a really annoying interface. When scrolling up and down to look at the score (which is all the way on the bottom), your finger keeps hitting the waist measurement area, so you're constantly having to change it back. I'm also not too fond of having to type things in. The look and feel of this app needs some work.
For example...the waste measurement scale goes up by inches rather than half inches. This app looks nice and has potential, but is garbage as-is. Use the official USAF app...it seems to have the best, most accurate PT Test Calculator out there. I forgot it was embedded within the app until I stupidly downloaded about 3-4 other garbage apps on my phone, then I thought to check the USAF app itself to see if there was something there—there is...and it works perfectly. :-)
The free version does nothing that you can’t do by looking at the standards sheet on the internet and calculating your score manually. The paid version (which I did not buy) graphs your progress which is cool, but also something a pencil does. If you really like using apps to circumvent doing math then I guess this is for you. The UI is pretty good though.
Decent app but it will give incorrect scores if the minimums aren't met. For instance if you're 30-39 and do 38 sit-ups your score is zero for that portion but the app still gives you points. In addition, the flag versus medal can be misleading. If you meet the minimums for all portions you should have four medals and still fail. The app shows the failure but also "flags" the minimums. I understand that that is reason for failure but the flag should only signify not meeting the minimum because there are dozens of ways to pass if you meet the minimums. Even though I got a medal for push-ups I could do five more and not run faster and still pass. Hope that makes sense. And the opposite is true, I got all medals for meeting the minimums even though my score is under 75.
It works well for anyone who is not exempt. If your exempt any portion, it doesn't calculate that. If you aren't except, it's accurate and easy to use!
Does exactly as advertised. Quickly and easily calculates score and even logs and graphs past scores in the pro version. Very clean interface. Nice job!!!
If you're looking for a place to log pt scores, this is the app for you. If you are looking for a reference to know what reps/time will get you what score without having to input values, look elsewhere.
Do not use this app. It is inaccurate, specifically, you do not get points for a component if you are exempt from the component. You are better off using the charts in the reg.
Easy to use, however there is a major problem! This does not properly calculate for exemptions. AFI 36-2905 paragraph 3.10.4 states that with exemptions, the score will be calculated based on the percentage of the testable components. So let's take a theoretical 30-35 year old male (me) who is exempt from sit-ups and the run (but not cardio exempt). This app says I can do 27 push-ups, pass the 2km walk (which is counted as an exemption for scoring purposes), have a 39" waist and pass with an 87.6. This is incorrect because I get 5/10 points for the push-ups and 12.6/20 for the waist. The calculation for this is as follows: 5+12.6=17.6 ... (17.6/30)*100 = 0.59*100 = 59%. Major difference, and to pass with the same waist size, I'd have to max out those push-ups (at least 57): 10+12.6=22.6 ... (22.6/30)*100 = 0.75*100 = 75%. The discrepancy is because this app is applying full points to the exempted components when it should have removed them. So in my example above, it added the full 10 points from the sit-ups and 60 points for the run, then divided by a possible 100 points. So this app calculated: 5+12.6+10+60=87.6 ... I don't even need to finish that, you can see that's the end result (because if I divide by 100 then multiply by 100, it will be the original number) and is exactly what the app came up with. If this gets fixed, then the app will be great.
The Air Force PT Test App is for the USAF service member who needs a quick and easy solution to calculate fitness test scores. The Air Force Fitness Program is designed to assess service member's fitness in four areas: aerobic (running), body-composition, push ups, and crunches (sit ups). Scores in each area are based on age, gender, body measurements, number of repetitions or elapsed time. AIR FORCE AEROBIC TEST The Aerobic Fitness test is a one and a-half mile timed run. For a 17 to 25 year old male the score ranges from zero for 21:30 elapsed time to 50 points for running it in less than 9:36. AIR FORCE BODY COMPOSITION TEST The Body Composition (tape test) score is determined by measuring the abdominal circumference, and comparing the measurement to a body composition point chart. A 17 to 25 year old male with a 36-inch waist would get a score of 22.20 for this area. Note: To measure abdominal circumference, place a measuring tape in a horizontal plane around the abdomen at the level of upper hipbone. Before reading the tape measure, ensure that the tape is snug, but does not compress the skin, and that the tape is parallel to the floor. AIR FORCE PUSH UP TEST Push ups are done in a one-minute time period. For a 17 to 25 year male the scores range from zero for less than 8 push ups to 10 points for 62 or more. AIR FORCE CRUNCHES (SIT UPS) TEST The crunches test score is based on the number of repetitions counted during one minute. For a 17 to 25 year old male the score ranges from zero for less than 27 crunches to 10 points for 55 or more. The Air Force PT Test App has full support for alternative cardio events, elevation, and exceptions. Not doing the run? Quickly see what you have to do to pass the alternate cardio events. Full support for logging your PT/BCA scores to visualize your progress with graphs. Please note: Although we make every possible effort to match the official USAF standards, this app is not official. Always consult an updated AFI when in doubt.
