IPPT to reduce to only 3 stations!

Is taking the IPPT a pain to you?

Then here is a good news to all NSmen!!!

All NSmen should be happy to know that the Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) for National Servicemen will be reduced from the current five stations to just three: A 2.4km run, sit-ups and push-ups. Which mean the shutter run, pull ups and standing board jump will be removed. I think a lot of people wouldn't mind doing push ups than pull ups. Or maybe that is just me...

I heard the aim of the changes is to get more NSmen to keep healthy as a lifestyle and also to help them pass their test. We are still not sure when the changes will be implemented. The last time such changes to the IPPT format were made in 1982.

The new test system will not require NSmen to meet a minimum passing mark for every station, Dr Ng said.There were be more age bands and a new scoring system. Instead of a pass mark for each station, points will be awarded and the combined points from the 3 stations will be used. This way, soldiers can make up through more sit-ups, if they are weak in push-ups and running, or vice versa.

The overall passing mark will remain "about the same as before" for Full-Time NSmen, Regulars and Awards, while some adjustments will be made based on past data for NSmen according to what was reported.

I'm looking forward for the new changes and I believed with this scoring system, more people will be able to pass their IPPT.

More details will be released by Chief of Army Perry Lim on Thursday.

INTERVIEW WITH MR WORLD SINGAPORE 2022 (SENIOR): S3 UMAR ABDUL HAMID

1) During your entire time of Mr World Singapore 2022 from the time you auditioned till you won the title, tell us - what was the most overwhelming moment for you? Personally, as the grand final day drew nearer, and diet and water had to be stricter, it was hard trying to keep up with the nutrition portion as well as the rest and recovery portion. Aside from that, i was starting to feel a little more anxious that i should and a huge part of it was because i invited my mother to be part of the audience and i wanted the event to be memorable for her. But i guess everything was worth it in the end. 2) What was the prep process like? From the auditions all the way to the Grand Finals, i knew i had to step up as prior to the audition, i let myself go quite abit because of the fact that i was juggling between work and handling my 3 children. But i guess after the audition. i made a clear intent to give 100% to get ready for the grand finals and since then, i made more conscious de...
