Raffles Institution: End-of-Year (EOY) Exams in August 2025 & Gap Semester Explained
Study guide
Q: What does Raffles Institution: End-of-Year (EOY) Exams in August 2025 & Gap Semester Explained cover?
A: Why Years 1-4 Integrated-Programme students at Raffles Institution (RI) face their EOY papers in Term 3, what the August timing means for tuition pacing.
TL;DR
RI has historically scheduled Year 1-4 End-of-Year examinations in Term 3 (earlier than many schools) and used the post-exam window for a Gap Semester of enrichment modules. Check the current RI calendar for exact dates. Parents aiming for IP Math or Physics support should bring revision forward and plan enrichment during the post-exam window rather than waiting for Term 4.
