Score forward from your reps and times, or work backward from a target. Plan around your strongest and weakest events.
The Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test (PFT) has three events scored 0 to 100 points each, for 300 total. Marines choose pull-ups or push-ups for the upper body, hold a plank, and run three miles. Push-ups cap the event at 70 points, so a perfect 300 requires pull-ups. You must score at least 40 points in every event, and 150 total, to pass.
Push-ups cap the event at 70 points. Plank is age and sex neutral: 3:45 for 100, 1:10 minimum. Minimum to pass is 40 points per event and 150 total.
