Average PRT Score for an OCS IN-PRT?

[Logico]

I want to do the very best I can to be ready for OCS. I know that PRT scores for new candidates will follow a typical bell-curve with some people really good and others not so good.

What is an average "middle of the pack" score for the IN-PRT at OCS? How many sit-ups, push-ups, and time for 1.5 mi run?

 

[Jared_G]

I havent a clue what the "average" is, but I can give you my scores.

Run: 11:46
Push-ups: 62
Sit-ups: 96

I, however, do not go to OCS until July 06'. So I plan on improving a great deal more.

Not sure if this is what you're shooting for but I'm going to OCS in the end of Jan. and my PRT scores are:

S/U: 110
P/U: 90
Run: 9:24.

One of the best things I've heard to get into shape is to focus on running, pushups, and situps and less on lifiting weights. OCS will test more of your muscle endurance.

Purdue, you are officially on my list of "All time over-achievers". Those are some great PRT scores. That would be a great score on the OUT PRT at OCS. As far as minimums go, Jared G's scores would be pretty good for an IN PRT at OCS. Just remember, the PRT that you take at OCS that first week will be like no other PRT you will ever have in your life. Your scores will probably be low on that one. So the better your scores, the better off you are.

I guess all the Purdue types are over achievers.

Run: 10:00
P/U: 105
S/U: 105

Still an E, but my fall cylce scores were 112 s/u, 107 p/u, 9:20 1.5. I am sure though the in PRT will not be under the same kinder/gentle conditions with DIs in your face. For what it is worth take 10-15 % off your average now and that should give you a good idea of where you may stand when the time comes. As long as you put out and never strive for the minimums you should be fine.

You guys are killing me. I'm not even close to those scores. What are you all 18 or something!

I've got 2 months to get some improvements in. What do you suggest for a crash prep course?

Program

I am 26 but have been consistent with scores like this throughout my time in the Navy (My run is actually a little weak here, not complaining though). If you have only two months I wouldnt go too crazy, dont want to get an injury before you get there. For workouts I like crossfit (www.crossfit.com), it involves everything from running to powerlifting and is geared where everyone should be able to do it as long as you know your limits in a fairly quick workout. Also look up the BUD/S prep work out. I am almost positive a link is somewhere on this sight, even if you dont want to be a SEAL it is a great PT based workout.
Good luck, hopefully I will be joining you down in Pensacola this spring.

Did they change the fitness test for the academies? When I was applying 2 years ago we had to do pullups/flexed arm hang, basketball throw, pushups, standing long jump, and 300 yard shuttle run.

prt (for ghost)

The best way to get better is to do the test under the same conditions on your own. For the run I like doing repeats/sprints twice a week, distance the other days. There is a ton of info on running all over the internet, it basically comes down to what works for you. A plan that works great for me might do nothing for you and vice versa, just remember to keep at it and you will improve. Also when you are giving yourself a pt test dont cheat, it doesnt help you and it will produce some bad habits. Good luck with the Academy.

Ghost,

I'm in the process of training and so forth for the PRT as well. I always been able to run pretty well. Around 5 flat for my miles, but I am not saying that to gloat, instead to encourage to shoot for under 6 min. I had a great coach in HS for track, and his method to cut time under 6 is to go to a local track, warm up a bit and then start your mile run. On your second lap push your pace to about 75-80% of your max speed for 200 meters, then slow down to about 10% more of whatever your orginal pace was. Your heartrate will go up and you'll make it through your third lap a little bit faster than your first. Then on your 4th sack up and steadily push your pace faster till you get to about 80% or your max speed. At 150 meters try to run as fast as you can till you cross that line. I'm willing to bet you be able to increase your times dramatically, and then maybe even extend your workout for more endurance.

I hope this helps, it has work for me and my teammates very well.

At OCS, is the PRT run on a .25 mile track or over a course?

 

[ander37]

Actually the 1.5 mile run is done on the streets through OCS.
The "middle of the pack" PRT scores on the IN-PRT is about GH. Usually about 10% fail it (we only had 2 though), and only a couple get Outstandings (we had 3 SpecOps). Trust me, after two days of <5 hours of sleep and constantly having to yell and getting yelled at, your energy level drops a lot. Not to mention the fact you run the PRT at 5:45am, and you haven't ate since 1700 the day before. Hope that helps!
