Anyone know if there is any limit between IPPT attempts across windows (e.g. if take and clear IPPT 1 month before window closes, then cannot take IPPT within X months of new window opening)? I recall there was something like that last time but cannot find anything online now.

Asking cos I cleared my IPPT last month, but I have reservist IPPT in early Mar and my new window opens the day before ICT inpro. Not sure if still need to take IPPT during ICT since my last window attempt was very recent.

Nope, a few of my friends did that :s13:

Clear IPPT for current window a week or two before birthday
Book IPPT ASAP when new window open after your birthday

for FCC, seems like the Saturday timing is later now. used to start at 4.30pm-5pm now is start at 6pm/7pm slots and most probably even later to wait for more people. which means will end into the night. so if you dont like the late timings, grab the morning slots at 9.30am

Got a letter to go for non-ICT ippt in Mar, the thing is I have test that day at school.
Should I defer or just go for the ippt? How long does the deferment usually take?

Also, is it true that you get paid for going for FIT? I went for some sessions already haven't received any payment.
Got letter one meh? If cannot go for ippt then book another date

Didnt know that FIT session in park is so xiong until got NSmen collapse :s14:

Not anti mask. But some people wear mask till too tight already until cannot breathe well.

You look at football. So many collapses all of a sudden. Imagine if your body didn't breathe well for the whole day and still have to run for 90 min, what do you think will happen?

I've been doing IPT/FIT for a few years already, and yes there's a trend towards it going later. I remember at least the 4.30/5.30pm ish days, and then after a series of high-profile safety incidents (collapses largely, and the late Aloysius Pang's case), there was a SAF-wide safety review and I believe this was one of the effects - something to do with reducing the risk from heat injuries, since late afternoon can be VERY hot.

There was only 7pm bookings on Sat for quite a while, and according to the OC at my FCC sometime in 2019 or 2020, they were already looking into opening back up the earlier sessions because 'a lot of NSmen gave feedback'... then COVID came, and there were more NSmen than available slots, plus SMM and everything... which resulted in the introduction of NS FIT and reinstatement of an 'earlier' slot at 6pm now.

But even the morning slots also start later. Now for FCC is like 9am, 9.30am on Sat morning. I rmbr last time IPT for Sat morning slots is earlier. I also from IPT last time when still 5 station. 3 station I pass. But I have to go for FIT this window because I failed my ippt last year . But anyway I going to MR this coming May

Why push so hard? 95% of those FIT people just go through the motion only. 9 sessions + 1 ippt just chop chop get it done and over with even if you book 2 sessions per month, can clear in 5 months .we are not nsf anymore ffs
