How P3 and P4 Science is assessed

Source: MOE, Learn for Life (2018) and MOE, Removal of mid-year examinations (2022).

From P3, schools set no more than one weighted assessment per subject each term. The end-of-year exam in Term 4 covers the whole year's work. There is no mid-year exam, as MOE removed it at every level by 2023. Each school sets its own papers, so the number of weighted assessments and what each one counts for differ from school to school.

Which topics do these papers test most?

Counted from the topics listed on each paper's page: how many papers test each topic. A topic that shows up in most papers is worth revising first.

Linked topics have a free study guide with a worked example and practice questions.
