Why Attend This Masterclass?
All P6 PSLE students MUST acquire a sharpened toolbox of answering technique methodologies to systematically and strategically decode and answer open ended questions the PSLE Way. Yet, the rigour demanded by PSLE science marking has left students feeling discouraged. They are continuously frustrated with the inability to answer Science Open-Ended Questions (OEQ) well. They seem to know their content yet are unable to pin down the reason why they keep losing precious marks. Parents too, have problems grasping what it takes to get that “few marks more” to move into a better AL range. Here are some core frustrations we have observed from decades of helping students answer open ended questions:
Students fail to pick out the correct clues from the question & answer to its requirements.
Students cannot write their answers to satisfy the full awarding of marks.
Students miss key scientific vocabulary or fall prey to overwriting
