English · 4 practice questions in the free bank
The short version, then the full guide below.
The whole free bank covers Maths, English, Science and Chinese — no signup needed.
Synthesis is a tested english topic in the Singapore PSLE. The marks are not usually lost because a child does not know the method — they are lost in one specific step, and because nobody can tell the child which step went wrong, the same mistake repeats.
Options: a) The room was noisy enough for the baby to sleep. · b) The room was so quiet that the baby could not sleep. · c) The room was so noisy that the baby could not sleep. · d) The baby could not sleep, so the room was noisy.
Correct answer: C
Four things that work, and they use the same method as the worked example above.
Marks in Synthesis are usually lost in one step, not across the whole question. Ask your child to say each step before writing it — a broken step is much easier to catch when you can hear it.
A tick or a cross on the last line tells you nothing about where the thinking broke. Read the working line by line and ask, for each line, what it was for.
One sentence is enough. Name the step rather than the topic — “I divided before finding one part” tells you what to fix next; “I am bad at Synthesis” does not.
The free bank has 4 Synthesis questions, marked step by step, and it needs no signup. A short set with the working marked tells you more than a long page of answers.
Every question in this topic is marked step by step, so when your child goes wrong you can both see exactly which step broke. No signup.
