Found this link online re: scoring software that addresses "extended scale" scoring - i.e. scoring above the max 100 point level for each of the events - http://apftscore.com/notes.php
Here's a quote:
Have seen scores above 300 posted in relation to LDAC, etc.
How exactly are these calculated? Do extended scores truly count only if you can max all three events? Are extended scores "official?"
Wondering because my DS is working to increase his scores before reporting for FROG week at UNG - if he can only max 2 of 3 events, is it worth going beyond max in the ones he can, or should he conserve his energy?
Here's a quote:
Extended Scale
The extended scale feature allows for scores beyond the normal maximum of 300 points.
In accordance with the older FM 21-20, the extended scale option will award one point for each additional push-up and sit-up beyond the max, and one point for each six-second decrease in time from max, but only if all three events are maxed.
Please note that the new Army physical readiness manual, FM 7-22, has eliminated the extended scale. However, I have elected to continue to include this feature for the benefit of specific users that will still find it useful. Users should keep in mind that extended scale scoring may not be used for any official Army purposes.
