I have updated Janet's first post with the list of recommendations for ease of reference. In future, if any new recommendations or updates, please give us a tinker.

:thankyou: ksi for taking the time & effort to do it! :salute: :hugs:

For this school holiday, my DD1 has just started doing the \"Primary 3/4 Longman My Weekly Companion Science Book A\" as recommended by HappyMama :thankyou: :snuggles: A good revision for her as she able to attempt the topical worksheets on her own and hopefully (I ) she can finish up to the last topic for the SA1. :please: This book is good for daily/weekly practice but in my own opinion and \"feedback\" from DD1 - \"The OE answer is too short & sweet; not detail enough!\"

Hi Champion,
My pleasure....I believe this is what Chief + founders want to achieve in this community, to assist one another to stay \"kiasu\" at the appropriate level to help our children. :celebrate:

From time to time I will scan this thread and update the latest on page 1. Janet's latest post has been updated to page 1.

Hi everyone, I m new here. M shocked to c so many different types of Science Assessment Books and I have yet to buy any for my P4 boy. Oh dear! So far, he has not done any except school's. I have noticed that the questions asked during the exams are out of the box. School textbook info is limited and science lessons also limited. Poor children.

Welcome to the thread
There are many titles of Science assessment books and kiasu mummy here has several titles...yet can still finish because from time to time, I will ask him to revise P3/4 Science in case he forgets.
Questions tested in exams are way out of the box and it's only through exposure to diff assessment books that kids gain more knowledge and improve in the Section B (open-ended section). Popular science assessment section is my 'library'.

True. Can be a case of similar question set in different way.

:goodpost: - Yes, it was thru this thread that I get to know the different assessment books available in the \"market\" and which are the ones \"worth investing\" in :thankyou: :lovesite:


:thankyou: Janet for starting this thread :udawoman:

Hey gals,

You are most welcome !!! :rahrah:
We are in the same boat...so I understand that frustration. Without this thread, there is nowhere we can share useful tips.

I saw that new assessment hashroop mentioned...but not in the mood to glance at the book now. Was at IMM yesterday, but told myself to stay away from Popular and I did :rahrah:

Proud to say my Science has improved quite a bit...sufficient to answer son's queries. I find it interesting to stand at the Science section to read the questions in books...esp new publications. Must find time to check out that new title.

Last weekend was at popular when I came across this book (actually more of a guide book than an assessment)

I-science by chua tung kian
"The only handbook you need for Psle" quoted on front cover. I got carried away as I stood there reading almost half the book. It’s a good book if lots of myths, clarification, explaination. I think i may get it for DS.
One interesting note I found out why cockroaches when sprayed with insecticide over turn and why their legs will move vigorously for sometime.

Hi, this was the only guile book that I bought for PSLE. Like it because is not so thick and easier to complete the topic.

yes its meant as a guide book but with interesting pointers. I didnt buy as i actually stood there reading almost the entire book (was killing time as kids and hubby were catching a movie at Nex). I came home and discuss certain issue with DS. Im still contemplating to get the book sometime soon.
