The Medical Checkup
This medical part will take 2 hours. and for those who wear
glasses/contact lens, remove them at least half an hour before
taking the eye test.
Please bring along the following documents:
NRIC
Medical Report/ Memo/ X-Rays (if any)
Printed Online Medical Questionnaire with one Parent's/Guardian's
signature
There are some 8 to 10 stations namely, blood test, eyesight test,
hearing test, blood pressure test, heart beat (ECG) test, height
and weight, chest x-ray, urine test, uniform fitting measurement
such as cap size, foot size. Last station is where you will have a
1 to 1 Q&A session with the MO (Medical Officer), you will also
be required to drop your shorts and underwear here for the MO to
check for 'hernia'.
You will be given your PES Status at the end of the medical.
After that there is a photo taking session for your SAF 11B
card near the counter and at the end, there will be a file
with the booklets such as the NAPFA test information, "Get Fit for
NS", Recruits and Parents' handbooks...
After the medical checkup, you will go into a room to take the
Vocational Assessment test (computer test). About 7 sets of 20
questions each. the sets consider of questions with maths, IQ,
reflex, general knowledge, logic and some
'guess-the-next-pattern-after-this-pattern' to determine what kind
of vocations suit you the best.
There are some paper and a pen for you to do some
calculations.
The test would take 2 hours if you take it seriously. Some "hack
care" people, finished the test in 15 minutes simply by skipping
all questions using the "Enter" key.
PS: Please don't screw this up, or you will end up in some lousy
vocation (mess boy, cook or others) for the next 2 years of your
life. For those who think NS is a waste of time, going to a lousy
vocation is EVEN a more waste of time.
