Hi, I would recommend 2) Lower Secondary Science Understanding Biology, Chemistry & Physics, by GLM (3books).

They have good notes and questions that ranges from basic to intermediate. It is a good guidebook as the questions are not as challenging.

However, based on my experience as an ex-school teacher and tutor for many years, the contents that every school teach for lower secondary school is different. Hence, you may not be able to find a 'perfect' book for them unlike upper secondary whereby teachers follow strictly to the MOE syllabus.

If your child has any issues, it is good to advise them to seek help from their school teacher and request more revision questions from their school teachers. Find out from their school teachers how they can revise for their sciences.

Hope this helps.

Hi parents, are your child interested to join secondary 1 IP science lesson at Beauty world area ? Would like to register my DD but the centre need minimum 2 students to open a new revision class. The teachers there are very helpful and responsible. My DS has been with them and he scored very well in his exam. Please pm me if interested. Thank you.
