I HATE the push up machine ! Did 50 push up and it only register 44. I go down to chest about 1 fist away from floor, the machine does not register. I need to touch the floor with my chest then it register. I know curved back will not register but that is not the problem for me. I also straighten my arms and go up all the way. For me the machine want me to kiss the floor then it want to count as pushup. Anyone got tips on how to make the machine count every pushup ?

machine uses first few counts for calibration. so dun go too low right from the start.

also heard during ict that before you enter the mat, you stand at the machine wait for the chime, it is actually calibrating the machine to your body measurements, so dun slouch or keep fidgeting. (this one hearsay dunno how true)

No chime when i did 8th ict ippt recently. Just walk to arrow and stand beside and wait for the red words to appear. Place tag to start, get into position and start pushing it down. I did 40 standard push ups in a min

Hi guys, im about to go for my very 1st ICT, i heard that we will do IPPT during ICT period. So do we need to book for any IPPT by ourselves or they will help us settle everything? Thanks.

Depends on your ICT unit. Some will have IPPT, some won't

You will take ur ippt in camp during ict. Unless you have alrdy clear ur ippt during that window then no need to take.

And no need to book, ur unit will org it in camp. And pls pass if not after ur ict you are on ur own to book outside

Just to add on - Certain reservist units have a tad more stringent requirements for IPPT-related matters. In my case, they told us that as long as you do not attain IPPT Gold in your window, you will have to take ICT-IPPT.

A perma-IPTer like me has to take IPPT three times a year, hahaha.

May I ask a generic question on IPT? The ns.sg system used to show for example 5/10 sessions... but currently this feature is disabled.. how do you check the remaining sessions for IPT/RT?

not sure about this feature being disabled as it should be there.

alternate way in checking is to see your out-pro IPT slip. The counts stated in the slip excludes that particular day's session.

edit: - have checked.. the counts on how many sessions attended should be shown in your main IPT booking page. If you have issues, do a screenshot and send to NS hotline via email.

if you are just counting the recorded attendance, try the NS booklet on the portal

Guys if not enough time to clear RT cycle. Is it possible to book multiple attempt to clear IPPT? Assuming 8th session is my RT-IPPT. How to ensure that if i fail certain station, i can just clocked as absent so i can re-attempt it again?

The system is very clear. For RT-Ippt if fail, u will continue with the normal RT sessions until the next stipulated RT-Ippt.

And u cannot book any IPPT seperately.
