Last updated: July 18, 2026

Female servicemen in Singapore's uniformed forces β€” SAF, SPF, and SCDF β€” are required to take the IPPT under a separate scoring system designed to be fair to female physiological standards. Despite this being a significant segment of the NS population, dedicated information for female IPPT scoring is remarkably hard to find online.

This page covers the complete female IPPT scoring framework for 2026: push-up and sit-up tables, 2.4km run standards, award thresholds, and practical training advice. The award tiers match the rest of IPPT β€” confirm Gold/Silver totals with our IPPT Calculator using the same 100-point system.


Female IPPT β€” The Basics

The female IPPT uses the same three-station format as the male IPPT:

Female IPPT Push-Up Scoring Table (2026)

Female push-up standards require lower absolute rep counts per point band compared to male equivalents. The scoring is still age-adjusted.

Female IPPT 2.4km Run Scoring (2026)

Female run scoring uses slower time cutoffs per point band compared to male equivalents at the same age band.

What Run Time Does a Female Serviceman Need for Gold?

For a female serviceman targeting Gold (85 total points), the run score is still the most important factor. Approximate run time targets for Gold contribution:

Age BandRun Time for ~40–50 pts
22 – 24Under 11:30
25 – 29Under 12:00
30 – 34Under 12:30
35 – 39Under 13:00
40 – 44Under 13:30

SPF and SCDF Female IPPT Standards

SPF (Singapore Police Force) and SCDF (Singapore Civil Defence Force) female officers are assessed using their respective service's scoring tables. These are closely aligned with SAF female standards but may have minor differences at certain age bands and rep counts.

If you are an SPF or SCDF female officer, always confirm your exact scoring tables via your service's HR portal or your unit's S1.


Female IPPT Training Tips

The run is still your priority. At 50 points, the 2.4km run is the single most important station regardless of gender. A female serviceman who runs sub-12:30 has significantly more scoring flexibility.

Push-up form matters. The full range of motion requirement applies equally β€” chest near ground, arms fully extended. Practice with proper form, not modified form.

Sit-up endurance builds fast. Most female servicemen see rapid improvement in sit-up count within 3–4 weeks of daily core training. This is often the fastest station to improve.

For a structured 8-week training plan applicable to both male and female servicemen, visit our IPPT Training Plan page.


FAQ

Yes. Female NSFs serving in uniformed roles in the SAF, SPF, and SCDF are required to take IPPT.

The thresholds are different, not inherently "easier." The scoring is calibrated to be fair to female physiological standards β€” achieving Gold as a female serviceman requires genuine fitness.

Female NSmen who are operationally ready and still under NS obligations take IPPT under the female scoring tables. Confirm your specific obligation via the NS Portal.

Yes. Gold = $500, Silver = $300, regardless of gender.
