Science Guide Books

[Leanne]

Hello Mummies,


Just to share.This year , last min, I bought both :3) Primary 3/4 Lower Block Science (Frequently Asked Questions) and the upper block.DS read through it, as in the section b two days before exam, he mentioned that its indeed the frequently comes out questions.The only thing one must be able to identify the information as in the answer to be applied to the actual answer in the exam.For mcq, he finds it not much help tho.

Honestly, we have bought many many assessment books, its actually more or less similar.Its just how one filter out the info and identify the topics that are weaker.MCQ questions in psle is very clear and precise, unlike the past year school exam papers.Some can be over testing.So, if its over testing, dont loose sleep over that kind of questions.Also, in some assessment books, some questions are outdated, as in type in just to fill up the page.Pls take note.

This is just one cent of my thought.Hope it helps.

Cheers,
Leanne

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Leanne

Hi Leanne, thank you! Great to see u here. Agree with you about assessments books being similar.

What would be you or your ds’s suggestions for science mcq questions which are more like psle style?

Champion, congrats on your ds’s excellent result. She is so motivated at lower primary, she will continue to excel. For the FAQ, I only use post tic to paste over the answers and let ds peel it off after he attempted the question. You are really hardworking to paste paper and photocopy!

Hi Pixidust,


Decides to appear cos reading thr the post, and it reminded me that I used to be in this situational too and thought just to share since I have walked thr PSLE.

For some guidelines on psle questions, can refer to the past year psle questions tho not all the questions are in there.Other than that, for the assessment books, just practise it with the open mind.For book work kind of questions, am sure its very direct.For those that need observations, just have to read carefully what the questions or examiners are looking for in that questions.Not forgetting, circle out the keywords which might lead one to the answers.

Cheers,
Leanne

hi any recommendation for P5 guide book?

P5/6 is under 'upper block'. You may want to get PSLE Ultimate Science by EPH.

Thank you

Hi Leanne,


How to determine if a question in an assessment bk is outdated? Is it that the question is not longer tested in past year school papers / PSLE papers?

Thank you

Hi plum cake,

I was at popular just now to pick up the pop magazine. Knowing IMM outlet is popular, I went to grab my copy first.

Still didn't see that title you posted. Wonder where that title is placed bcos i didnt see it at 'science' section nor on the shelves with the rest of subjects. Curious to take a look at the contents...but if really can't find it, then will wait a while since no urgency yet...until Dec 2012, ie if I can control myself :rotflmao:
