Dear Mommies,

Thanks for all the feedback and sharing session, I was trying to match your recommendation vs what I have .... so I went and dig my Science Guides :!: :!: :!:
ONE CONCLUSION : I CANNOT BE BUYING ANYMORE :oops:
But I'll continue to follow the thread......

PS : This is just the Guides....imagine the assessments I have........

Wow! :!: cwc, you can open a mini Popular bookstore already... These are just the guidebooks right? Oh no, I cannot imagine the number of assessments you have!

Hi cwc,

Your child is well-covered until P6 and yes, I agree with you, these are just the guides...haven't posted pic of assessment books yet. My hubby will go :!: if he sees what I have bought.

Janet, I can imagine the number of books you have too. Thank goodness you have your DD who can use the books (provided syllabus remains unchanged). :celebrate:

What I find not useful are:
*Everything you need to know about Science - doesn't follow chapters.
*Science Booster - doesn't follow chapters in textbook.

Hi Janet,
I try to upload the not useful books here but find similar books with same titles :!: ..Ok, I shall upload here and maybe you can advise us which are the ones that you match your feel :lol:

Ladies ladies,

dun get too excited....ha ha. But seriously, think I should do a one-time exercise for all the subjects. Probably will :!: myself

Sadly the books are mostly wasted cos' my kids dun read .....errhhh paisay, neither does the mommy :oops: I'm too lazy to go through with them and even tho sometimes I force them to read, unless I test them, I'll never know how much did they absorb. Wish the kids will auto....

Per Augmum mentioned, many are duplicated. So now I'm trying to get some tips from the thread on which are the recommendations guides and drop some, simply not enough time to read all.

Similar to Janet, my hubby IS going bonkers :rant: he's now asking for KPIs....just how many of these books are utilised? I finding ways to :siam: audit...

Bcos CA and SA will include everything from p3 from this year, I see no prob for him to finish what I have bought. So I should have a stack of science assessment books when he is done for PSLE. Hopefully syllabus will not change much when younger one goes to p3, then just buy the same assessment bk for her.

Wah, I must buy bigger shelves already.

Hi Happy Mama,

Yes, I need more shelves definitely…esp for P5 son. As it is, kept up some impractical books in cupboard. Told hubby need to get shelf for daughter’s room so as to transfer her books back to her room.

For Science guide and assessment, you will need to keep them all from P3 onwards.

My hubby doesn’t ask me for KPIs bcos he knows I will use up all the Science books.

Hi Champion,
I have Lower Block ‘Everything you need to know about Science’.
*Not practical bcos it is too in-depth and doesn’t quite relate to topics/what will be tested. Personally that’s what I think.

Science Booster.
*Purely for reading bcos again it doesn’t relate…good as reading material. Honestly, I feel like selling off Science Booster A & B.

HI Ladies,

Son just completed 2 thematic tests on Cycles.
*Longman Weekly is bearable and for keeping the brain working.
*Oxford Science (2 squirrels on cover) is not bad. By Teo-Gwan Wai Lan.

Hi Janet,
Yes agrees - during the Parents-Teacher-Meeting, the Principal stresses a lot that we need to keep all the books & notes for Science from P3 onwards till PSLE. Yes, I am also clearing up space in the cabinet so that I can store DD1's books + notes + guide & assessment books.

For the above 2 books - I did browse thru when in Popular but did not land a hand to buy it as I was looking for something that is detailed but easily understood

Janet,
I really :salute: you - I guess - no should not use \"guess\" - should be \"very sure\" you have the whole range of Science Assessment + guide books at Home! :!: ...How does your son find time to do? My DD1 is so \"reluctant\" to co-operate with me to do assessment books! And this morning we just have a fight over doing past year exam papers :spank:

Haha...sorry for my \"kapoh-ness\", I upload the above 2 books you mentioned - the pic here to share with others :hi5:
