Don't like that la.
I am still hoping no science tuition for my boy until psle. Although I try to coach, I am no scientist. I rely alot ongoogle and here.

my gal had sci tuition in p3 whole year. she started fine but grades started to drop from 89 to 76 in p3. i still continued the tuition. at that time i totally hands off science. relyg 100% on tuition. but in p4 ca1 she got only 69. i was shocked. i pulled her out from tuition in term 3 (cos term 2 i gave a last chance to try)
guess wat, in sa1 and ca2 she got 80. reason being i started to be involved, got her to do all exam ppers and go thru all myslf. i m no sci person but just use model ans to guide. i wonder if i can still do for p5 -

is it possible to get A* by self study thru exam pprs and assessment bk, without sci tuition? even tho we parents hv no sci backgrd??
Really depends on child and school. Try without for P3-4, then decide for P5. -

Can. The child's interest & self-motivation (some will read up on their own) will determine how much effort you need to put in as a parent. If they are not particularly self-driven, you may need to go and read up on the Sci assessment/revision books yourself (for a start). Besides imparting knowledge (certain concepts and fact got to remember by heart - no choice), we need to equip the kids with skills on how to give cookie cutter answers (aka using correct keywords). Also, impress upon them the need to get full marks or close to full marks for MCQ section. That way, the first 60 marks is confirmed and even if they do badly for the open ended questions (say 25/40), it's still a good A. You can see that once you do well for MCQ, getting an A* is not that far off. -
I believe it’s possible with good guide books, revision, practices and articulation! Good Luck!

Typically if the kid can manage 80-85% doing top sch papers, can get an A* in psle? what is the gauge? TQ.

my kids need guidance in answering section B open ended…thats why put them in tuition centre. Now much better in their answering technique.

It's like asking, could you learn to swim through reading Swimming for Dummies?
No matter how intelligent you are, it is best to have a good mentor to guide you. A good mentor could lead you to greater success. A good mentor is hard to come by and if you do meet one, make sure you grab it. I'm glad that I found mine
