I'm most likely going to fail my IPPT as my window is closing and I'm far from passing.

However, my uni exams period is coming soon and doubt I can study for exams and do RT. After my exams, I will be going overseas for long period of time and I've counted only 4 weeks that I can do RT on (excluding exam period and overseas).

So, is me being overseas for 1+ month and having exams during the 3 months RT period acceptable for me to get excused from completing the 20 RT? How do I go about to try and get the excuse?

I will definitely not be able to complete the RT. In fact, even after counting my exam period in, I can at most clear 18 sessions. Instead of waiting to get charged 3 months later, can anyone advice me on what procedures I can take to get proper excuse? (I don't mind going RT for all sessions that I can go minus my exam period and when I'm overseas)

Thanks


(I've read that we can extend our RT period by one month if we fail to complete. However, I will be overseas for the next one year, so extending it is out of the question)

hi guys, would like to ask a few qns here.

1) i just ord-ed and my birthday is in June so from now till june can i take ippt and get money if i managed to get pass and above?

2)if it happens that i failed the ippt, will there be any consequences?

3)so this period from now till june is considered 0th year?

4)what are the timings available and am i able to choose? I realise there's only this option to choose the dates so are the timings given to us by sms? Not very sure!!

Thank you!

1) Should be yes. Call ns.sg to confirm.

2) Nope as this is considered as 0th year.

3) See above.

4) Non-ict ippt always start at 5pm.

You can't be excused for your RT unless you are medically unfit during that period, ie 2-3 months excuse. Contact your unit and see if they can help u.

Just a quick update....I booked and took my IPPT 3 days after i've MRed cos I received an sms telling me to take my IPPT just 2 days before I MRed and there were no available slots before the 31st of March.

http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/75104315-post9650.html

Naturally I failed and today I tried to book another session...and this was what I got.

And when I checked for my past results including the one i just took 2 days ago.

ippt2.jpg


They are updated....so i guess the system finally recognizes that i've MRed. So i think there should be no more RT after this....woohoo!! Now I just wonder whether i'll be getting any service pay for the last IPPT i took.....hmmm.

Hopefully the above should clear up with the bros who are in or approaching your last cycle...

you need to know some definition:

ORD= finish 2 or 2.5 yr NS
MR = finish 10 cycles ICT but age less than 40
ROD = age hit 40, never finish ICT cycles will also ROD.

to ans your question, if they call u up for ICT next year and subsequent every year for 10 cycles(7HK + 10 ORNS cycles), you can MR at age 34/35.

if Not, you then cannot MR but wait till age 4 and auto ROD.

MR = no need to do IPPt/RT already.

if you cannot MR, also mean you have to do IPPT/RT till age 40

My birthday is end July. By right need to take at least 1 ippt and pass before end April. If I still fail by end of April, I would have to go for RT and complete 20 sessions before my birthday.

In your case, you can just take your IPPT before 31st March. Even if you fail, you won't have to go for RT after the 9 month window is up. Or you can try and not take any IPPT between your birthday and end March.... And wait to see whether they will sms to remind you to take it a month before your 9 month period is up. Then let us know whether you need to take or not.
