Science Guide Books

Hi Happyh

Thks for recommending ultimate science. Pls do get back to me on the names of the books that u mentioned earlier or any other sci assessment books that you prefer. Really appreciate it.

You are welcome. EPH - Science revision workbook Lower block P3 and P4. Author Renee Chong. You can either choose this book or Science companion by renee chong (it is a boxed set - each topic one book). Between these two, I personally prefer revision workbook version although both are good. But dont buy both becos most of the questions were same except some.

Actually I have a lot of science assessment books untouched. Please dont buy everything in one goal. My DD has no time to do those things. Many books are untouched. You can add on along the way after you spot where your DC needs more attention. As janet mentioned, longmann book has diversity and another topic which is not covered in my DD's school this year. So you need buy Book B as well if you are going for it. It will be good (relatively easy) to do Longmann weekly after that portion is taught in the school. I am going to try few more books in June holidays ( :xedfingers: )' I let u know after we start on those books.

hope this helps

For science, most schools start with 'diversity' first at P3. Then in 2nd half of the year, could either be 'systems' or 'cycles'. If getting Longman weekly or those titles split into P3 and P4, then you have to buy both together, in case the B book is out of stock. It happened to me, I was like :stupid: should have bought both!!!


Still have Renee chong's 3-in-1 left over (P3/4). Don't buy too many at one time. Always have new publications coming out, although not necessarily useful. Perhaps 1-3 titles for CA1/SA1.

Hi Augmum


Thks for yr recommendation. Think I saw the encyclopedia in popular few wks ago. Will get them when I hv the 20% voucher.

Hi Janet, Happyh

Thank u very much for yr help. Before asking for yr help, I did go to popular to look at the science books but I was like "Wow! So many ha, how to choose?" Then came to this thread but there were more than 200 pgs to go through. Luckily met the 3 of u. At least I hv a rough idea which books to buy. Just 1 more que, I saw in popular web that ultimate science comes in lower blk, upp blk, lower & upper blk and psle. Which one should I get if I want one that can be used till p6?

I just went to get the Popular catalogue. There’s no 20% discount in it!

Get the PSLE one...cost efficient since it comprises everything from P3.
Sorry to disappoint you...no voucher for this June holiday... :stompfeet: I was expecting it too as I thought of getting some stationery...reluctant to go to expo as parking is not cheap.

hi steady berry,
Honestly, I am no expert in science. The titles I mentioned are through trial and error.
*P3/4 science partner is a simplified guide. In my opinion, no point getting it. For guide book, the EPH PSLE ultimate science is sufficient. It will take you all the way to p6.

If you do not need the books yet, can consider getting them in Dec...there should be one 20% voucher end of the year...or else there is Bookfest to consider.

No harm being kiasu sometimes...from time to time when I popped into popular, there were promo. So I managed to get some science titles for my gal going to P3. But I am disappointed there isn't any 20% this time.

U re welcome.
So now there isnt the 20% voucher, but it's good to have these bks,
Which provides more in depth info and come with colorful picture illustrations.
Buy earlier, then can use them for longer....i mean use for more yrs.....
