Hi Mummies,

I bought ultimate sci guide upper and lower block, never read, cos ds finds it too boring.On the contrary he read the big fat blue book by fairfiled.Maybe its more interesting.He also discard the orange psle guide, cos he just dislike it though its highly recommended by many school.

All in all, it really depends on what the child find interest in the book.Just one cent of my thought.

Cheers,
Leanne

I bought the orange PSLE guide first. Then the Ultimate Science. My son will refer to the latter if he wants to check up something.
Agree with you that the child must be comfortable with the book or else he/she will never touch the book no matter how highly recommended it is.

May I ask what is the minimum amount of guide books you have? There are so many in the market and I don't know if I want to get a few.

good morning chowon! :imanisland:

How old is your child? If in the lower primary, my opinion is do not get too many in the beginning. I have shared in the following page the 3 books that I feel is quite useful but I have to reiterate again - I am in no way related or advertising for any of the publisher nor author

Hi chowon! :hugs:
I was like you when in P2 Term 4 - started to panic that there is a new subject in P3! :yikes: Went to get a Caso guide book at the recommendation of a friend but then find that it is not in-depth enough! :shock:

Am glad that Mummy Janet_Lee88 started this thread where many parents come on board to share their experiences and reviews on the assessment books :salute: :celebrate:

Thought I have given it away or \"cold storage\" it but DD1 likes using it and refers to it sometimes

Your DD is reading the following one?

:hi5: :celebrate: No worries, soon she will fall in love with Science :love: :love:

But do take note that the book that she is reading only covers the theme Diversity and Systems. Most school starts off with Diversity and usually covers up to Term 2 before SA1, thereafter every school diffs

Oh. Thank you Champion.

Oh. Thank you Champion.

You most welcome - usually Science T will give to the students the list on the various topics to be covered in P3. For DD1's case, I realised that she does not have the theme \"Systems\" & \"Energy\" in her Book list for P3 and got the advice from school bookshop that both the 2 topics are covered in P4 for DD1's school
