Hello All,
Just an update of my findings yesterday when I was at Popular :imcool: ....Just before I move on, just wanna clarify that all that I posted or written regarding Chinese Assessment / Guide Books in this forum is merely my own opinions :xedfingers: ...I have in no where related to the publisher/author or Popular Bookstore nor any other bookstores

Ok, the 1st book = 小三华文课文强化复习 - I flip thru the pages - NOt impressive! The papers are very thin and yellowish :roll: ..Looking into the content, not very close to what my DD1's SA1 tested contents. I look at the questions are quite straightforward; not very challenging though.

For the 2nd book, I can't comment yet because it is temporarily out-of-stock so I shall wait for it before I post my comments.

TO reinstate - the above notes are my own opinions for sharing with parents here & I hope I am in no way disrupt your decision in purchasing

Hi Brenda,
I woke up at 1am with a panic attack. Son told me his Science has 72% and that is the highest mark. Although I don't know his class average, I am just worried how to bring up his overall. What level of assessment should I use to improve his Eng...P5 or P6. Fortunately, there is 1 1/2 years more b4 PSLE but I am at a loss :imdrowning: Can you kindly advise ? Thanks.

Hi Janet

Sorry to hear that and hope you can be more relax as there is still more than one year to go.

Look like your ds is doing well for the Science under your coaching and I'm sure he will be improving further since this is just the begining of the preparation.

Will PM you later as now I'm at friend's house.

HI Champion,

I bought that book you mentioned.

Hi Janet, :hi5:
Very much that I want to buy and read that book but hor the font really very tiny and the book very small that I don't have much interest reading it :siam: :laugh: ....

Guess age is catching up - I prefer A4 size books and those that fonts are bigger :lol: ....The Ultimate Science Guide - I still can manage although some might feel it is the fonts not big enough and the \"greenish\" wordings

Yes, font should have been larger...quite a strain having to read it and there are no hanyu pinyin nor English translation...sorry yours truly here can be quite 'eat potato' where books are concerned :razz:

The following, according to the publisher can be used for P3 - P6 so I guess it can be quite a good investment

Hi Mummies,

Just my own opinion ... son, in Sec 1 HMT, is using this bk as a guidebk. Personally we found it useful esp for the 惯用语，谚语，歇后语，俗语 & 四字语 ( wh some might mistaken for 成语）. These cannot be found that readily in the mkt.

To me, if yr child is in upper pri with strong lang foundation, this is a gd bk to have. For the others, think we will have to go thru ourselves to select those phrases wh we think our kids could use. Just my own 2 cts ...

For those interested, as another forummer has posted, it can be found under the Sec Sch Guidebk section of Popular.

Hi QuiteKSMum,
Thanks for your sharing! :grphug: :celebrate:

Hi Brenda,
Yea, when I surf the webpage it also states that it can be used for P3-P6 and in Popular Bookstore, it is placed under the \"Primary School Guide\" shelf :skeptical: :?

[QuiteKSMum]

No worries, Brenda10 & Champion … We are all just sharing …

I too went for my Popular shopping today ! :imcool:

There is only one tattered copy of the 新亚 book left and the font is not only small but the print is very light. I had to dig out my 老花眼镜 to read it :oops:

Final decision, I bought the 裴蕾 - 俗语 book instead. Font size is better and there are sample sentences and paragraphs. Thanks to QuiteKSMum for bring my attention to this series of publications.

Don't you all think we should buy Popular's shares ? :lol:
