In a child’s educational journey, children’s English learning and scientific exam preparation are two crucial aspects. Especially the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) Science exam in Singapore is an important hurdle that students must overcome. This article will focus on the scientific exam preparation part of children‘s English learning and introduce how to help children master scientific answer-writing skills and improve their exam scores through the professional guidance of iworld Learning.

Overview of Scientific Exam Preparation Skills at iworld Learning

iworld Learning understands the importance of children’s English learning and scientific exam preparation, so it offers a series of scientific and practical exam preparation skills. Here are five core skills we have summarized to help children easily tackle the PSLE Science exam.

Skill 1: Precisely Analyze Questions

Locate the Problem (Clarify the Question Requirements) > Decompose the Problem (Simplify the Answer Process) > Identify Keywords (Ensure Answer Relevance)

• Locate the Problem: In exams, students first need to clarify the specific requirements of the question to avoid answering the wrong thing.
• Decompose the Problem: For complex or multi-part questions, students should break them down into individual components and answer them one by one.
• Identify Keywords: Carefully read the question and find keywords such as “describe,” “explain,” or “compare” to ensure the answer meets the question requirements.

Skill 2: Be Specific and Use Keywords

Keyword Application (Accurately Express Concepts) > Answer Organization (Logical and Clear) > Avoid Misunderstandings (Ensure Answer Accuracy)

• Keyword Application: Students should use keywords specifically and carefully when answering to ensure the answer accurately expresses the concepts examined in the question.
• Answer Organization: The answer should be logically organized and well-structured for easy understanding by the examiner.
• Avoid Misunderstandings: By carefully reading the question and accurately using keywords, students can avoid misinterpreting the question intent and losing points.

According to statistics from iworld Learning, by applying keyword skills, students’ average score rate in the PSLE Science exam has increased by 15%.

Skill 3: Thoroughly Examine All Charts and Graphs

Chart Identification (Understand Chart Types) > Information Extraction (Focus on Key Details) > Question Answering (Combine Charts with Questions)

• Chart Identification: Students should be able to identify different types of charts, such as graphs, diagrams, and tables.
• Information Extraction: Focus on key details in the charts to understand the information they convey.
• Question Answering: Combine the charts with the question requirements to accurately answer the questions.

Skill 4: Master Wording and Answer Techniques

Wording Skills (Concise and Clear) > Answer Methods (Tailored to Different Question Types) > Logical Coherence (Ensure Answer Completeness)

• Wording Skills: Students should be familiar with the wording requirements of different question types and organize their answers in a concise and clear manner.
• Answer Methods: Master the corresponding answer methods for different question types, such as open-ended questions and chart questions.
• Logical Coherence: Ensure the answer is logically coherent and well-structured to avoid missing key points.

Examples:

• For material motion questions, the answer-writing technique of “From where? → To where? → Through what?” can be used.
• For chart questions, the answer-writing method of “Argument → Evidence → Inference” can be adopted.

Skill 5: Carefully Check All Answers

Answer Review (Discover and Correct Errors) > Time Management (Make Full Use of Exam Time) > Habit Formation (Cultivate the Habit of Careful Checking)

• Answer Review: Before submitting the exam paper, students should carefully check their answers to discover and correct errors.
• Time Management: Make rational use of exam time to ensure all questions are completed and there is time left for review before the exam ends.
• Habit Formation: Even when doing exercise books in daily life, students should cultivate the habit of careful checking to improve answer accuracy.
