I can't stand it anymore..... reading all these postings about this book being so Gooooooooodddddddd........


Need one advice tho....I have a P4 DD and P5 DS......should I get 2 separate books i.e Lower Block and Upper Block or just the Ultimate PSLE Science? Will more details be covered if I get 2 separate books?

Actually it's best to get the PSLE Ultimate Science since it covers BOTH lower and upper block - 2 in 1. I was struggling with myself for a while whether to get it or not, but in the end caved in to the detailed contents of it.

Hi Joy,

I download and print out past year exam papers. When I see certain questions like ‘germination of seeds’ for eg, I will then write the page number found in Ultimate Science beside the question for him to read.
To expect my son to pick up and read it is HIGHLY impossible.
He will tell me the chapter his teacher is doing in class, then I’ll ask him to refer to the diagram like ‘cells’ to learn how to label the parts.

Hi Janet,
Thanks for sharing again and I learn the trick!

For me, when I read those assessment books or past years OE Questions - I flip behind look for the answer and then go back to the Ultimate Guide to further enhance and confirm the answer. Sometimes those printed answers are rather \"short & sweet\" so I will also refer back to the Ultimate Guide to look for more \"clues\". :lol:

Thanks for your recommendation previously that I am using & reading this book frequently. :celebrate:...DD1 will always give me the kind of look,\"Oh, Mummy doing Science Revision again!\"

My son always says I'm studying and I'm his walking Science book. Told him to refer to his guide books...and he tells me he has no time to do that.
