hi

I need some help..my son is struggling with English compre...cld you plz suggest me some assessment books to revise

For Sec 1 to Sec 4 students, I recommend the following books. Some of the books below are quite tough but it's good to practice on the harder questions cos things will only get harder.

1. EPH Excel in O level Comprehension by Vanita Pal

The book covers skills on time management during exam, building reading skills, understanding comprehension questions, summary writing and practice papers.

For each comprehension passage, there are key points beside the paragraphs. My students find them very useful.

2. Casco O level Vocabulary (more suitable for sec 3/4)

This book covers vocab, idioms, parts of speech, commonly confused words, synonyms and phrasal verbs.

3. EPH Upper Secondary Situational Writing Handbook

Awesome book! Teaches skills in writing.

4. Upper Secondary Summary Guide and Practice

I think the books are also suitable for lower sec because at the end of the day, they have to do O level standard papers. Start early!
I bought the books in popular but I'm not sure if the books are still in stock! Might have reversed versions.[/quote]

:thankyou: for the tips.

KSP:

is it important to practice the P6 prelim paper of other schools for the same year? there are many free paper for other years available in the internet which is enough to keep my child busy.....

Which year does not make much difference. Don't have to be this year paper. The main purpose is to expose the kids to the different type of questions. If your child have not done previous year papers, can just do those in the Internet. No point to buy more papers now. Still have homework & supplementary lessons. Only left two weeks to PSLE written papers. Any idea which website has NYPS 2010 Maths paper?

Hi mummy so kiasu - just pmed u.

mummy so kiasu:

I did not get the 2012 Prelim papers for my boy. He has too many homework from his school. Can anyone kind enough to share the 4/5 questions from NYPS or RGPS?

Hi - god-dd's school exchange prelim papers with RGS - will share when she gets them. Treelodge had posted a few killer questions from NYPS and one from RGS already.

Hi. I nd help with this ques.


Brendan and Raidah saved $6475.60 altogether. 2/5 of Brendan's savings was $341.50 more than 1/5 of Raidah's savings. How much more money than Brendan did Raidah save?

Can't seem to get the ans - $1020.20. Thank you.

1/5 of Raidah's savings --> 2 units,
Raidah's savings --> 10 units
2/5 of Brendan's savings --> 2 units + $341.50 = 2 x (1 unit + $170.75)
Brendah's savings --> 5 units + $853.75

Total --> 15 units + $853.75 = $6475.60
5 units --> $1873.95

Raidah's savings MINUS Brendan's savings
= 5 units - $853.75
= $1873.95 - $853.75 = $1020.20

cheers.

Hi - sorry for being so slow :scratchhead: is it possible to explain by MD? Thank you.
