The NAPFA test and Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) serve different purposes. The NAPFA test, mandated by the Ministry of Education (MOE), aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of students' overall health and performance-related fitness. It consists of six stations to evaluate various aspects of physical fitness. On the other hand, the IPPT is designed specifically for pre-enlistees in the SAF. Meeting the IPPT Pass standard in the new three-station format indicates that pre-enlistees are sufficiently physically fit to be exempted from the Physical Training Phase (PTP) and proceed directly to Basic Training. The SAF has a comprehensive combat fitness regime that includes the IPPT, route marches, field exercises, as well as obstacle courses and vocation-related exercises.
