<![CDATA[Secondary School Science Guide Books]]>Hi,


Hope this is a duplicating topic, as I noticed that the other thread on Science Guide Books centers on PSLE.

Maybe we can have a thread on secondary school science books too?

My son is taking his O-Levels this year. He is taking triple science, but his grades for the three subjects have been poor.

Other than TYS, anyone has any recommendations on other science reference books?

Thanks!

achemtutor:
Best reference book so far is the textbook. Many students nowadays rely on guidebooks rather than textbook, not realising that textbook is the best reference book ever. This is no need for another book that covers the exact content.


In my opinion,a student needs only the textbook, tys and school exam papers to excel in O levels.
but textbooks do seem to give an overwhelming lot of information?

[quote=\"atrecord\"]For TYS, is it just an assessment book with questions, or does it have notes that explain the theory and concepts too?


I tend to associate guide books as being those with notes/explanations, while assessment books would be those that contain only questions and no notes.

Yes, me too. Looking for a good science guide book to read up for more infos.

Yes, a good guide book can make a tremendous impact to a student's grades.

The more highly recommended ones that I can think of are those from Redspot & Smashing Exams.[/quote]Could you elaborate a bit more on why are the Redspot books and Smashing Exams more highly recommended? I do not seem to be able to find Smashing Exams in Popular.

Both books from longman. They are used by Raffles and Chinese High.

TYS actually stands for \"Ten Year Series\". It's kind of a compilation of the actual O-Level / A-Level questions over the last 10 years.

Hence, it's not a guide book with notes and explanations.

Hope u find the explanation above useful 🙂

When buying secondary school assessment books, try to avoid those from SAP. The TYS published by this company is very poorly compiled. Wrong answers, poor segregation of questions, etc. But just my opinion.

1)Smashing Exams.
Teachers in some schools such as Chung Cheng High are using them too.
http://www.smashingexams.com.sg

2) Longman
An established brand.

3) TYS
The good old TYS! Get your child to do, redo, and then redo the qns!

Hope u find the above info useful too 🙂
