since you are NSF you should just ask your superior. NSF IPPT is conducted by your own NSF unit.

from 1 Apr, it will be the new format regardless of who you are.

u can request to join in the next earliest IPPT session conducted by other units if it is within the same camp.

Not exactly "regardless of who you are"....

ONE-YEAR TRANSITION PERIOD FOR NSMEN

The new three-station IPPT format will be implemented from Apr 1, 2015. However, there will be a one-year transition period for NSmen to choose between the five-station or three-station format, said Col Ng. Active servicemen will adopt the new format.

The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) conducted a pilot implementation of the new IPPT from September to December 2014, which included about 5,000 servicemen and servicewomen of different vocations and age groups.

Through the pilot, Col Ng said there is potential to "challenge fitter servicemen to do even better in their IPPT".

Results from the pilot showed that for push ups, 74 per cent achieved average and above average performance when referenced against international standards. MINDEF also clarified that females will perform a modified "bend-knee push ups", which is performed with knees bent and one count involves lowering the upper arm to at least parallel to the ground before the arm is fully extended.
