Is a 535 a good score on ACFT going by Infantry standards ?

I just took the acft for the first time and calculated my score which equals out to 535 (sprint drag carry whooped me) is that a good score for being infantry?

Yes, 535 is an average of 89.167 points per event, currently the minimum for Infantry is the Heavy category, representing 70 points on each event. This represents a minimum score of 420, you're currently averaging almost 20 points above your minimum and only 10 points below the maximum. Your scores would be roughly equivalent to a 268 on the APFT, and the ACFT is much harder to max. Good job.

There is no established "good score" yet. But having taken it, I would say that's a decent score. The way the scoring system is set up, it gets very hard to get above 90 in the events. When I took it, I got between 90 and 100 in everything except the run, which I barely passed and that tanked my score. I would say anything above a 500 is doing well.and anything above a 540 is great.

Good work, I'm planning on it still being 90 in each event to be considered top tier so see both have a little more to get

I usually scored on the 290s. ACFT was a 529.

I'd say at this point an average of 90 in each event, or a 540, would be much more exceptional than a 270 was. I'm not sure if this helps. Once the test has time to normalize the "good" score should be more apparent

The heavy standard is the one you need to meet.
