How to read this page. Every test below comes straight off the school's term calendars, matched to its week column. "SOW" shows the topic or topic code the school has scheduled for that test. The calendars themselves are marked SUBJECT TO CHANGES — dates can shift, so treat them as the current plan.
Two things to note: Physics has no row in the Term 1 calendar (it starts in Term 2), and the Mathematics common tests are listed by number only — the calendar gives no topic breakdown for them.
Chemistry Physics International Mathematics Additional Mathematics
Term 1 2025 10 teaching weeks · Week 1: 6–10 Jan → Week 10: 10–14 Mar
