The moment testing day is for

She earned the Presidential. The app figured that out.

Enter the result, see the tier. PFT applies the choose-one-per-category rule from the 2026 program and shows Presidential, National, or Participation as soon as the data is in. No award rubric to consult. No spreadsheet to update. The moment her last result is in, the app already knows.

All six events, one period

Run a class through every event in 45 minutes.

Testing Day mode is built for the seventy-four-percent-of-states-with-under-60-min-of-PE problem. One screen, big tap targets. Enter the whole class for one event, move to the next station. No menu-hopping mid-event. No paper roster.

No more evening paperwork

One tap at the end of testing. PFT generates a single multi-page PDF — the right White House certificate per qualifying student (Presidential, National, or Participation), name and date already filled in. Print, share, or AirDrop. The hour you used to spend hand-filling certificates goes away.

Why PFT exists

The 2026 PFT came back. Teachers got three PDFs and a clipboard.

On May 5th, 2026, the Presidential Fitness Test was revived by White House memorandum. The official site at whitehouse.gov/fitness ships three PDFs — the standards, the certificates, and an age lookup. That's the entire toolkit a PE teacher gets.

The original PFT was retired in 2012 because it was administered badly. UC ANR, SHAPE America, and the researchers who study fitness testing have been clear about what to fix: criterion-referenced scoring, no public ranking, results that stay between teacher and student.

PFT is the version of the test that does those things by default.

No leaderboards. No accounts. No analytics. Awards are opt-in. Standards sourced directly from whitehouse.gov. Built to make the test easy to run well.

  • Criterion-referenced throughout
  • No public leaderboards
  • No accounts, no cloud sync
  • Awards are opt-in
  • Standards from whitehouse.gov
  • Aligned with SHAPE America's 2017 position
