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 runs its Year 1-4 End-of-Year examinations during Term 3 (late-August to early-September), two months earlier than most MOE schools.
The front-loaded academic year frees Weeks 38-40 for the famous Gap Semester, an ungraded window for Olympiad bootcamps, service-learning trips and coding sprints. Parents aiming for IP Math or Physics tuition should therefore back-date revision to June and book enrichment slots during Gap Semester rather than after promos.
