Hi Greenie13,Hi Any recommendation for P2 English and Chinese assessment books?
Thanks.
Shared these in the 2022 PSLE discussion thread:[quote]Came across these at the bookshop the other day - very useful for brushing up on child's grammar and sentence structuring skills. Can get it as holiday supplementary exercises.
($6.90 & $7.90 respectively)![](\"http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y292/zgl208/bookleta.jpg\")

($3.90 each)![](\"http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y292/zgl208/book1.jpg\")

For topical practice at the end of every chapter. There's a very useful list of 识读字&识写字, their HYPY, English definition and summarized Chinese definition (useful for PSLE Q7,
for every chapter too.![](\"http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y292/zgl208/topical.jpg\")
Can be used as handbook (notes + mixture of simple 习字, 填写汉字, 词语选择 etc. exercises ) to strengthen child's understanding of each chapter and/or assess his/her learning after each chapter, as well as a revision book prior to test/exam![](\"http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y292/zgl208/handbook.jpg\")
Entire book is MCQ based (~15 MCQ per exercise) and the type of questions are exactly the same as those they will eventually be tested for in Pri 5 & PSLE (7 types, as listed in the 3rd slide here: https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=85&t=92344&p=1879670#p1879968)
However, do note that the words/phrases tested in questions are \"jumbled up\", i.e. not chapter by chapter (words/phrases that is learnt in 2B textbook may appear in earlier exercises etc.), thus I would actually advise getting the Pri 1 one, as a form of revision + foundation building.![](\"http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y292/zgl208/mcq.jpg\")
Lastly, for practicing 看图写句子 + sentence structuring (句式) + sentence rearrangement (组句成段) + sentence construction (组词成句)![](\"http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y292/zgl208/compo.jpg\")
Just a side note, some of the exercises in certain assessment books may include section that are not 'tested' in school but it is worth evaluating their value and assessing which aspect of language learning they can aid in.

Popular has a recommended list of assessment books. You can check with the senior Popular staff about which books to buy.Hi Any recommendation for P2 English and Chinese assessment books?
Thanks.
For English, I recommend the pink P2 EPH Grammar & Vocabulary MCQ book and How To Score English P2 - (includes Stimulus-based Conversation, Continuous Writing, Editing, Visual Text Comprehension, Comprehension Open-ended. )
To add on, practise 2018 P2 exam papers and go library to borrow more books for your child to read. -

I think most parents would have settled in with the changes by now. IMHO, these changes are more cosmetic than address some of the root problems. There's still a major exam (PSLE) at the end of P6. It still determines your secondary school, albeit with less precision as before (which means added anxiety for parents who can't let go of the die-die-this-school mentality). Instead of looking at schools individually, we are now likely to see them as groups or clusters. Pretty much same same with small difference. The blurring of some G1 / G2 / G3 lines is a blessing if your child falls within the G1 / G2 band but won't really affect the G3. Certainly for the top tier or some of top-middle tier schools who don't have anything less than express stream in their schools.
Some interesting read on the changes:

MOE will be releasing more details on the AL banding system in the next few months. Saw that throwaway line in some news article recently.
