IPPT Score Calculator (2026)
Detailed IPPT score breakdown with station-by-station analysis and improvement tips.
What is the IPPT Score?
Your IPPT score is the combined total from three fitness stations — push-ups (max 25 pts), sit-ups (max 25 pts), and a 2.4km run (max 50 pts). The score determines your award level and cash incentive, with thresholds adjusted across 14 age groups for fairness.

- • Pass: 51-60 pts (no incentive) | Fail: below 51 pts (20 RT sessions required)
- • Max reps for full points: 60 push-ups and 60 sit-ups in 1 minute each
- • Max run points: 2.4km in 8 minutes 30 seconds or faster
IPPT Score Breakdown
The IPPT score is the sum of points from all three stations. The 2.4km run is worth double the points of push-ups or sit-ups (50 vs 25), making it the most impactful station to train for.
For maximum points: aim for 60 push-ups, 60 sit-ups, and a run time of 8 minutes 30 seconds or faster.
Remember: you must score at least 1 point in each station. Even a total of 85 points won't count as Gold if you scored 0 in any single station.

Who This Calculator Is For
NSFs (Full-Time NSmen)
Doing IPPT as part of full-time NS. Failure triggers Remedial Training (RT).
- Pass requirement: Must pass within NS term
- Pass reward: Gold: 4 off-in-lieu days, Silver: 3, Pass w/Incentive: 2
- Cash award: No cash award for NSFs
NSmen (Reservists)
Annual IPPT obligation for ORD NSmen until MR (Military Readiness) age.
- Cash incentive: Gold $500, Silver $300, Pass w/Incentive $200
- Fail: Triggers 20 RT sessions
- IPPT window: Typically April–March
Women Doing IPPT
Female NS participants or SCDF/SPF women on NS with different scoring tables.
- Standards: Female-specific scoring tables apply
- Push-up & sit-up norms: Differ from male standards
- 2.4km standards: Differ from male standards; check NS Portal
Medical Status NSmen
NSmen with PES downgrade or injury may be assigned a modified IPPT format.
- Low IPPT: IPPT-L may be assigned instead
- PES C/E: Different exercises apply
- Eligibility: Medical board determines test format
IPPT Scoring: Male vs Female Standards (Age 22–24)

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the IPPT score calculated?expand_more
Your IPPT score is the sum of points from three stations: push-ups (max 25), sit-ups (max 25), and 2.4km run (max 50). Scoring tables are adjusted by age group — there are 14 age brackets from under 22 to 58-60.
What are the IPPT award levels and incentives?expand_more
Gold (85-100 points): $500 incentive. Silver (75-84 points): $300. Pass with Incentive (61-74 points): $200. Pass (51-60 points): no incentive. Below 51 points is a fail requiring 20 RT sessions.
How many push-ups do I need for maximum points?expand_more
60 push-ups in 1 minute gives the maximum 25 points across all age groups. The number of reps needed for passing grades varies by age — older age groups need fewer reps for the same number of points.
What is a good 2.4km run time for IPPT?expand_more
Running 2.4km in 8:30 or faster earns the maximum 50 points across all age groups. For younger NSmen (under 22), a 12:30 run earns about 30 points. Older age groups can achieve higher points with slower times.
Can I retake the IPPT if I fail?expand_more
Yes, you can take the IPPT multiple times within your IPPT window. If you ultimately fail (score below 51 or 0 in any station), you must complete 20 Remedial Training sessions at a Fitness Conditioning Centre.
