Understanding IPPT Scoring
What is IPPT?
The Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) is a standard physical fitness test used by the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) to assess and maintain the fitness levels of servicemen. It consists of three stations: push-ups, sit-ups, and a 2.4km run.
IPPT is mandatory for all active servicemen, NSFs (Full-time National Servicemen), and NSmen (Operationally Ready National Servicemen) up to the age of 60. Performance in the test may qualify individuals for monetary incentives and affects overall reservist obligations.
2025 IPPT Standards Overview
The 2025 IPPT standards maintain the three-station format while incorporating several important changes to the scoring system and age group categorization.
Age Categories
- 18-27 years (Active servicemen)
- 28-34 years (Early career NSmen)
- 35-42 years (Mid-career NSmen)
- 43-50 years (Senior NSmen)
- 51-60 years (Veteran NSmen)
Award Classifications
- Gold: 85 points and above
- Silver: 70-84 points
- Pass with Incentive: 61-69 points
- Pass: 51-60 points
- Fail: 50 points and below
Station Requirements
Push-ups
Push-ups assess upper body muscular endurance. A proper push-up requires:
- Body maintaining a straight line from head to heels
- Chest touching measurement block at bottom position
- Arms fully extending at top position
- Movement performed at a controlled pace
Maximum points: 25 points
Sit-ups
Sit-ups measure abdominal muscular endurance. A proper sit-up requires:
- Knees bent at a 90-degree angle
- Feet flat on the ground and secured
- Hands crossed on the chest throughout
- Elbows touching thighs in up position
- Shoulder blades touching mat in down position
Maximum points: 25 points
2.4km Run
The 2.4km run assesses cardiovascular fitness. The run requires:
- Completion of standard 2.4km distance
- Running on designated track or route
- Continuous forward motion (walking permitted)
- Timing using electronic systems or stopwatches
Maximum points: 50 points
Incentive Structure
The SAF provides monetary incentives to encourage and reward good performance in the IPPT. Incentive amounts vary based on award level and personnel type.
| Award Level | Active (Full-time NS) | NSmen (Below 40) | NSmen (40 & Above) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold | $300 | $400 | $500 |
| Silver | $200 | $200 | $300 |
| Pass with Incentive | $100 | $100 | $150 |
| Pass | $50 | $50 | $100 |
Frequently Asked Questions
The IPPT score is calculated by adding points from the three stations: push-ups (maximum 25 points), sit-ups (maximum 25 points), and 2.4km run (maximum 50 points). The points awarded for each station depend on the number of repetitions performed or the timing achieved, and vary according to age group. The maximum possible score is 100 points.
Under the 2025 standards, the IPPT award classifications are:
- Gold: 85 points and above
- Silver: 70-84 points
- Pass with Incentive: 61-69 points
- Pass: 51-60 points
- Fail: 50 points and below
Active servicemen (NSFs) typically take the IPPT twice a year. For NSmen, the frequency depends on age and vocation, but is generally once per year up to the age of 60. NSmen who achieve Gold or Silver may be eligible for fewer in-camp training (ICT) days.
If you fail your IPPT, you will need to attend Remedial Training (RT) sessions. NSmen who fail their IPPT are required to attend up to 20 RT sessions to pass their IPPT within 12 months. Failure to comply may result in legal consequences under the Singapore Armed Forces Act.
Yes, specific training can greatly improve your IPPT performance. Focus on exercises that target the three stations:
- Push-ups: Practice proper form push-ups, chest press, tricep dips
- Sit-ups: Core exercises including crunches, planks, and leg raises
- 2.4km Run: Interval training, tempo runs, and distance running
Progressive training over 8-12 weeks can significantly improve your results. Check our "12-Week IPPT Gold Training Plan" in the blog section for a detailed program.
Exemptions may be granted for medical conditions that prevent safe participation in the IPPT. A medical officer must certify these conditions with appropriate documentation. Temporary exemptions can be given for injuries or temporary medical conditions, while permanent exemptions are rare and require thorough medical assessment.
Our IPPT calculators are designed to align with the official 2025 IPPT standards and scoring tables. While we strive for accuracy, there may be slight variations in official scoring during actual IPPT sessions due to factors such as measurement precision and administrative adjustments. These calculators should be used as guidance tools rather than definitive result predictors.
Common mistakes include:
- Improper push-up form (not going low enough or not fully extending arms)
- Incorrect sit-up technique (not touching elbows to thighs)
- Poor pacing during the 2.4km run (starting too fast)
- Inadequate preparation and training before the test
- Not taking advantage of practice sessions
- Poor nutrition and hydration before the test
Avoiding these mistakes can significantly improve your performance.
