Gabby:

Demoralised and disappointed to hear my DS results.

Math...problem sums probably gone case.

The standard of math in the workbook in the booklist is nowhere close to exam, prelim and Psle. It gives a false sense of confidence and hope being able to do the questions in that workbook.

Hello Gabby, sorry to hear about your disappointment. I can fully understand how you feel.

My dd's result has been like the stock market volatility all these years. I have not received her SA1 results yet. Bracing for a \"heart attack\". Really worry about whether dd can pass her math.

I guess what we can do is to understand what went wrong and try to correct it and work harder. Don't give up.

Anyone has any recommendation for maths & English psle practice papers (same difficulty as psle or slightly more challenging) with reliable answers? Mtia.

Using Top series published by EPH for math, English and science.
For math, Casco math tutor and preliminary Math by Fan-math (blue cover).
For English, GLM.

Hi Janet

Thanks. Will take a look at the top series and the gear up series recommended by another parent.

I did not buy any practice papers for him so I think it is time to get some for him to do during the holidays. Has your daughter started on the math top series? Challenging or same difficulty as psle?

Saw a maths tutor recommend onsponge psle practice paper or top school papers. I am not keen to get top school papers. Anyone tried onsponge practice papers?

Top school papers are the best. No books can beat those.

steadyberry,
for revision, my plan is to get her to do topical revision starting from first chapter for math and science. should be starting Top math in mid july.
top math has 4 papers for certain topics and 4 psle mock exam papers.

Top Math is a title of the assessment book published by EPH. it is also available for english, science and MT (i think).

Thanks a lot, Janet. I will go and check it out if still have time. Now it’s too many things to revise, too little time. sob
