Q: What does 2025-2026 Master Timeline: From P6 DSA to JC2 A-Levels cover?
A: One printable roadmap covering 18 months of MOE terms, DSA windows, IP weighted assessments, CCA peaks, national exams and tuition pinch-points.

TL;DR
Oct 2024 - Mar 2025 is “discovery season” for IP & DSA research; May-Aug is application & trial crunch; Sep-Nov toggles between PSLE/A-Level national exams and IP promo blocks.
Use the five window types below to pace tuition, budget CCA clashes and book lab-skill clinics before each spike.

1 Legend — Five Window Types

Window type	Typical load	Why it matters
Research / Bridging	Light WAs, open evenings	Best time for gap-filling algebra & SUVAT
Application / Trials	DSA sports, portfolio, interviews	Tuition slots compress; plan make-ups
Teaching & WAs	WA 1 → WA 3, practicals	Align topical tuition (binomial, FBD) to WA syllabus
National exams / Promos	PSLE, IP EOY, JC Proms, A-Levels	Full mock-paper phase
Holiday catch-up

Month	IP / MOE Calendar	Maths & Physics Pinch-Points	Action for Students
Jan '25	Term 1 wk 1-3	Y1-2 diagnostic quizzes; Y3 new topics (binomial, surds); JC1 Induction maths bridging	📌 Book algebra fluency sprint if Sec 3 child < 80 % factorisation accuracy
Feb	T1 wk 4-7	WA 1 across most IP schools	📌 Align tuition homework to school WA format (short-answer, proof)
Mar	T1 wk 8-10 → 1-wk hol	DSA research starts; RI/RGS publish talent rubrics	📌 Draft 1-page DSA portfolio; slot in SUVAT recap during hol.
Apr	Term 2 wk 1-4	IP Y3 Calculus intro; JC1 first block test	📌 Schedule weekend lab-skills clinic before mid-May practical WA
May	T2 wk 5-9	DSA Portal opens ~7 May; WA 2; CCA finals	📌 Request make-up tuition slots before trials
Jun	Term break (4 wks)	DSA auditions; IP Sec 3 Algebra→Calculus lag shows	📌 4-day Maths bridge camp; mock A-Level Paper 1 slice for JC2
Jul	Term 3 wk 1-4	DSA interviews; IP Y4 kinematics graphs	📌 Finalise DSA interview cheat-sheet (lead magnet); run timed FBD drill
Aug	T3 wk 5-10	DSA results (25 Aug - 4 Sep); WA 3	📌 Convert DSA “free bandwidth” into Chem/Phys bridging workbook
Sep	1-wk hol → Term 4	PSLE written (last wk Sep); JC2 Prelims; IP EOY prep	📌 Launch 12-week grade-jump plan (see roadmap post)
Oct	T4 wk 1-4	IP End-of-Year exams (Y1-3); JC1 Promos	📌 Shift tuition to mock paper + error journal mode
Nov	T4 wk 5-7	O-Level practicals; A-Level Papers 1-4 mid-Nov	📌 Daily full-length H2 Paper 1/2 rotations; physics lab cram
Dec	7-wk hol	Release of O-Level results; quiet	📌 Mental-health reset week, then JC bridging for promoted IPY4

Month	Milestone	Maths & Physics Angle	Action prompt
Jan '26	IPY1 orientation; JC1 intake	Survey shows 50 % Y5 lag in logs & binomial	📌 Week-2 algebra diagnostic & personalised drill list
Feb	WA 1 (IP & JC)	New SEAB 9478 practical spec emphasises LINEST	📌 Parents: ensure child can run Sheets gradient ± SE
Mar	DSA 2026 info packs released	Parents with P5 kids begin research	📌 Read our DSA & IP Mega-Guide pillar (link below)
Apr	JC1 Physics first mini-practical	Uncertainty tables often cost 3-5 marks	📌 Print Measurement & Uncertainty crib-sheet
May	DSA Portal opens (early May)	Overlaps with WA 2; tuition clash peak	📌 Pre-block flex tuition timetable with centre
Jun	Term break; PSLE ORAL starts late Jun	Light academic load	📌 Ideal slot for Physics SUVAT + FBD workshop
