The schools prefer you to use the ziploc bag, some even instructed you to do so. But i think it differs from school to school. The pencil case is fine, just make sure your child throws away bits of papers containing written stuff on them.

[quote=\"raghupavithra\"]yes i want concept maps for maths

My tutors and myself have compiled concept notes for P5 & P6 Maths. Not in mindmap form though. It's listed in point form, showing basic concepts and skills and things to note for problem solving according to the respective topics.

May I ask parents here if your DS/DD scores better in Math or Science? Is it true that science is difficult to score, especially open-ended questions. What is a decent score for OE question? 32/40?

IMHO a decent score should be >= 36/40 for OE if you are aiming for A* :nailbite: :scared: your concepts must be clear. Reason being each MCQ mistake is a costly 2 marks. Can't afford to lose too many 2 marks.

Thank u snowcrystal. It is difficult to score that. Class average hovers around 32

32 is of course an acceptable mark for OE but if careless in MCQ section... :faint: Science is different from Math. More concept based. Even if killer paper just fall back on those concepts. In fact with current format, more application questions so will lead to the concepts. During PSLE Science, time management is very important. Heard some usually A* kids spent too much time on MCQ during PSLE then not enough time to do OE. Result turn out A. Some schools' own Science exam papers MCQ section are set at too ridiculously tough standards so the poor kids in such schools are not used to PSLE's comparatively easier MCQ questions. All the best to your kid wormy... :rahrah:
