Hi,

Need help on recommendations for good PSLE science assessment books, especially for open-ended questions. Went to Popular but dun know which to choose cos so many choices. Or is it too late to buy them now?
Thanks.

If you're looking for topic by topic, I came across one which I thought it's quite good because it comes with teacher's tips and guide for open ended questions - By Casco Science Teacher's Tips. Only problem is it comes in 2 different volumes for different blocks. So have to buy two books.

If you're looking for whole paper (all topics mixed together), then the one that says \"We spot the questions for you\" for GEP students.\" blue color one. It's recommended by dd's school teacher.

Hope it helps.

Thanks so much for your help! Will go to Popular and check them out.

For PSLE EL Compos are students allowed or will it deduct marks if their compos are violent? (e.g stabbing, blood everywhere)

Ah boy wrote for his prelim compo many scenes of scolding by teacher n disciplinary master, shouting from the perfect and crying. I did not like the storyline. Shld see what marks he gets.

Maybe mummy OnABudget is referring to situational writing?
