To Fernvale,

2014 to 2016 PSLE papers is available at popular now.
There is 2 publishers, the answer to open-ended question a bit different.
From what i understand, school will asked the pupil to buy a copy too.

I hardly hear you talk about you girl, most of the time is your DS.
Your DD sounds like my dd1, the guai guai type who will listen and do assessment books diligently. My dd2 is the opposite, like yesterday, had 6 wrong out of 10 questions! :stompfeet: Not just PSLE stress, the P5 one also giving me headache.

Although we bought lots of assessment books, somehow my children manage to clear tons of them every quarterly.

My DD is a bookaholic so she never give me problems in Primary School. Come to think of it, yahor, she is quite guaiguai but after entering Sec School, no more guaiguai.

My DS will be like your DD2. Gives me more headache!

Only my DD is able to complete the assessment books but not DS.

I feel so insecure without seeing them do assessment books on a regular basis. Just do school homework, will it be enough?

lee_yl, I was just like you - I bought so many assessment books for PSLE. Luckily DD enjoys doing assessment books so she will just continue after finishing her homework but most of the time she can complete her schoolwork in school.

Come to think of it, I am glad my DD is blur blur - ask her do what, she do what. So she never complain of stress n tiredness. Like robot.

Hahaha!!!

Hahaha, I never thought of her as guai until you mention now.

Different publishers will have different answer sheets.

Eg: Shinglee Vs EPH

You can compare the answers.

PSLE 3 years series usually comes without answers and hence is sold at a dollar per book.

The ones in Popular bookshop comes with full answer sheets so it cost slightly more.

[quote=\"muska\"]try the school bookshop. My son, just bought the 2014-2016 copies from sch bookshop at $1 each.
Its half price of popular! The teachers ordered for them to buy..he was amazed at the cheap price..haha.

Hi muska,

can help to check whether this $ 1 book (psle 2014 to 2016) -
Does it provide answers, or just the questions only ?

If provide answers, is worth it

Is the publisher for this book : EPH or another publisher ?

Thanks, very much

EPH ones do come with MCQ and some short answers, but not OE answers. EPH papers cost $1.
