WHAT DOES IT SPELL???
NAPFA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NA:National
P:Physical
F:Fitness
A:Assessment
As you can infer from the acronym above, the NAPFA test is a test, that tests the endurance, strength, skill and guts of every student in the Singapore education system.
Yes, it is a grueling trial taken by many, yet most do not come out happy. It is a part of the culture of the students in Singapore. Those who fail, will be looked down upon by their peers, and become outcasts of the community for the rest of their life. It is a part*RECORD SCRATCH*
disclaimer: the above information if completely false. Except for the part about the acronym.
The NAPFA test however, is still an important part of a Singaporean's life. For the guys, failing it means extra time in National Service (and we don't want that, now do we? NO we don't.). Otherwise, it is still significant, as it is a good indicator of your physical condition.
Being a person who is more academically inclined does not help the fact that I may have to go for those horrible extra time in National Service. :(
