[Oh My Gosh]

Just settle DS PSLE... Will go on family holidays and enjoy myself first - before the PSLE 2018 drill starts for my DD next year in P5... her school already sent out notification on the extra weekly supplementary classes. :stupid:

[quote=\"What The\"]Just done with DS PSLE... now reporting for DD... :stompfeet:

p5 next year. the older one done with old science syllabus while younger one taking new syllabus.
we parents have endless worries.

curious : the new syllabus is adding more , or taken some out ?[/quote]Not many differences but exam format slightly different, 56 marks for 28 MCQs and the rest for OEQs.
This book has the new exam format.

I've always thought PSLE is a 2 year journey... but I guess I've got lots more to learn

Psle is a 2 year journey. Daughter started preparations last year and took psle this year...no wonder I am so burnt out.

It includes both LB & UB topics, more thematic arrangement, with topical fill-in the blanks notes.
Can be used in P5, esp after each theme is completed.
Good to use this book for revision first to build up foundation and grasping key concepts before using Challenging Sc Examination Papers which is much more challenging (more for high achievers).

i bought Top Science as it includes questions from p3. the answer sheet has a clear explanation for the options chosen.

For Science, so I can’t recycle my current P6 notes and guidebook for my 2006 kids? How vastly different is the syllabus?

Don't think Top Sc has fill-in the blanks notes, right?

top science consists of mcq and oe.
bought 'science of success' but didn't use it in the end...it has 'fill in the blanks' section.
