Editorial Policy

Every draft goes through a two-stage review before publication:

1. Subject review — a senior tutor in the subject the guide covers (Mathematics, Science, English, Humanities) reads the draft against the latest MOE / SEAB syllabus document and the most recent specimen papers, flagging factual errors and drift from the official scope.
2. Editorial review — the agency's founder, Theon Teo, reads the revised draft for clarity, parent-audience fit, and consistency with the rest of the guide series. The BlogPosting structured data on every published post records this reviewer as reviewedBy.

Singapore exam guidance is a high-stakes topic. Where a guide makes a claim about exam format, scoring, syllabus codes, eligibility, dates or payouts, we link directly to the relevant official source — the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (seab.gov.sg), the Ministry of Education (moe.gov.sg), or the respective school / institution. We do not paraphrase the official source without naming it.

Any third-party data (tuition rate ranges, polytechnic open-house dates, DSA timelines) is annotated with the source publication and access date. If we cannot verify a claim against an authoritative source, we either cut it or label it explicitly as our experience-based estimate.

MOE and SEAB revise syllabi, exam formats and timetables on a multi-year cadence. The blog has a calendar review every quarter to:

• Re-check published guides against the current syllabus document and specimen papers.
• Update dated facts (exam dates, AL band cut-offs, polytechnic open-house schedules).
• Stamp the article with a visible "Last updated" date when changes are material.

The visible "Last updated" date on each post is the actual database timestamp — not a hand-edited value.

If you spot an error in any guide — a wrong syllabus code, a stale exam date, a misstatement of MOE policy — please write to contact@thesingaporesyllabus.com with the URL and the specific text in question. Confirmed errors are corrected within three working days and the article's dateModified stamp is refreshed so the change is visible to readers and search engines alike.

A public log of every confirmed correction lives at /corrections.

We use AI tools (large-language-model assistants) for first-draft structure, grammar, and consistency checks. Every published guide is subject-reviewed and editorially reviewed by named human tutors before publication — the AI assistance does not replace either review stage.

We do not publish guides whose claims have not been verified by a human subject-matter reviewer. This is recorded on the post-level generatedBy field on each BlogPost record and is auditable.

The blog is published by The Singapore Syllabus, a Singapore home-tuition agency. Commercial calls-to-action on the site (tuition rates, find-a- tutor, free trial) link to our own first-party services. The blog does not run affiliate marketing for third-party tuition platforms and does not accept sponsored placements. If that policy ever changes, this page will be updated and affected articles will carry a visible disclosure notice at the top.
