Minimum reps to reach at least each point level, from the exact scoring table (some point values are skipped by the table — the next available score is shown).
Sit-ups are done for 1 minute and score up to 25 of your 100 IPPT points. The 1-point threshold ranges from 15 reps for under-22s to 2 reps at 58–60, and full marks need 60 reps for the youngest group, but only 44 reps for the oldest.
Pace beats sprinting: a steady rhythm for the full minute scores more than a fast start and fade. Practise timed 60-second sets twice a week and keep your form clean — no-count reps earn nothing.
60 reps if you are under 22 — and far fewer as you get older: the 58–60 group needs only 44 reps for full points.
15 reps for under-22s, falling to just 2 reps for age 58–60. Scoring zero sit-up points fails your whole IPPT.
