How to Calculate Your IPPT Score
Understanding how your Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) score is calculated is the first step towards achieving your fitness goals. The IPPT comprises three stations: Push-ups, Sit-ups, and the 2.4km Run. Each station contributes points to your overall score, which then determines your award level.
1. Push-ups
The push-up station assesses your upper body strength and endurance. You are required to perform as many correct repetitions as possible within one minute. Points are awarded based on the number of repetitions completed, with higher repetitions yielding more points.
Scoring Example (Age 18-21)
| Repetitions | Points |
|---|---|
| 60+ | 25 |
| 50-59 | 22 |
| 40-49 | 19 |
| 30-39 | 16 |
| 20-29 | 13 |
| 10-19 | 10 |
| 0-9 | 0 |
Note: Scoring tables vary by age group. Refer to the Standards & Requirements page for full details.
2. Sit-ups
The sit-up station measures your core strength and endurance. Similar to push-ups, you perform as many correct repetitions as possible within one minute. Points are allocated based on your performance.
Scoring Example (Age 18-21)
| Repetitions | Points |
|---|---|
| 60+ | 25 |
| 50-59 | 22 |
| 40-49 | 19 |
| 30-39 | 16 |
| 20-29 | 13 |
| 10-19 | 10 |
| 0-9 | 0 |
Note: Scoring tables vary by age group. Refer to the Standards & Requirements page for full details.
3. 2.4km Run
The 2.4km run is a test of your cardiovascular fitness and stamina. Your performance is measured by the time it takes you to complete the distance. Faster times earn more points.
Scoring Example (Age 18-21)
| Time (MM:SS) | Points |
|---|---|
| 8:30 or less | 50 |
| 8:31 - 9:00 | 45 |
| 9:01 - 9:30 | 40 |
| 9:31 - 10:00 | 35 |
| 10:01 - 10:30 | 30 |
| 10:31 - 11:00 | 25 |
| 11:01 - 11:30 | 20 |
| 11:31 - 12:00 | 15 |
| 12:01 - 12:30 | 10 |
| More than 12:30 | 0 |
