GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  In accordance with reference (a), the following changes will be made to the composite score point scale and the classification scores for the Physical Fitness Test (PFT) and the Combat Fitness Test (CFT). These new scores and values affect the composite score and its conversion ratings must be adjusted appropriately. These changes will take effect for PFTs and CFTs taken on or after 1 January 2019.
2.  The new composite score point scale will be linked in Marine Corps Total Force System (MCTFS) NLT 31 December 2018 and will take effect for the April, May and June 2019 composite scores that will be computed on 13 March 2019. Since the cutoff date for all data elements is 20 November 2018, the calendar year 2019 1st quarter composite scores (January, February and March) are not affected by this change.
3.  The new conversion table is listed below and will be incorporated in the next version of reference (b). Note that the only changes are to the 3rd class, 1st and 2nd class remain the same.
