BeContented,


I don’t understand. You ds had been performing for his science paper, why in prelims, there’s a drop? If his teacher accepted his answers during the usual tests, why did the teacher penalise during prelims?

Thanks.

Think in the past, papers were always easy (that's why I always feel, easy papers cause complacency & false sense of achievements). Questions were direct hence answers were quite straight forward. But for prelims Science, DS commented more difficult than usual - all these years, except for Chinese, DS hardly find any paper difficult, usually ok or easy. Marking seemingly was stricter too (water level 'lesser' considered wrong totally, must use 'lower'). Personally I'm glad it was a more difficult paper cos it woke ME up :oops:

Honestly, I am still not sure if DS has the right answering technique (should have some lah) but what's done cannot be undone. I just hope he will still be able to achieve an 'A' in PSLE.

I think the school must revise its strategy. :siam:

:skeptical: dun think can expect much from neighborhood Sch with only 40+% going to express stream each year & <10 students scoring above t-score 250.....
No matter how well DS is doing, we can only hope so much realistically based on historical trend. :sad:

Hi, my girl is tested on variables on science experiment. Any guide book to recommend on this topic? She is very weak and not sure about which variable must remain unchanged and what can be change.

Hi!.. would like to chk if anyone has used the following Science Guide Books for LOWER BLOCK before and have any comments :


1) Everything you need to know about Science (EPH - by Patricia Chan)
2) Ultimate Science Guide Book (EPH - by Low Wai Cheng…)
3) Science EXAM Booster Notes (EPH - by Carol Phua)
4) My pals are here - Science Booster Volume A (Marshall)

I was thinking of getting just 1 relevant, user friendly guide book to coach my kid (and myself!) at home but pretty clueless which to get…
I find (4) looks the most "friendly" in terms of the layout but the pricetag is also very "friendly" as compared to the rest…
