Same test, different calendar. The window rule is where HomeTeam NSmen get caught out.
Calculate My IPPT Score →SAF NSmen work on birthday-to-birthday windows. SPF reservist windows follow the financial year — 1 April to 31 March — so every SPF NSman's deadline lands on the same 31 March cliff, not on his birthday. SCDF NSmen should confirm their window on OneNS, where their official requirement is recorded. Full background: the IPPT Window guide.
HomeTeam NSmen sit the same three IPPT stations — push-ups, sit-ups and the 2.4km run — scored on the same published tables, so the calculator, points table and pace calculator on this site apply to your score-checking. HomeTeam's own NS IPPT Taskforce has been pushing exactly this preparation-first approach for SPF NSmen.
Window rules are administered by your service and unit, and OneNS shows your official window. Use this page to understand the system — then confirm your personal deadline on OneNS. If your window closes unfulfilled, the consequences mirror the SAF pattern described in our defaulter explainer.
No — SPF reservist windows run on the financial year, 1 April to 31 March. Confirm your window on OneNS.
Yes — the three stations and scoring tables are the same; only window administration differs.
Rules and standards on this page are checked against official sources: CMPB · OneNS (ns.gov.sg) · MINDEF answers on ask.gov.sg · LifeSG. Official SAF decisions always take precedence over this independent guide.
