Questions about these papers

Are these papers still right for PSLE Science in 2027?

Yes, for most questions. SEAB's PSLE Science syllabus (0009) applies from 2026 and assesses the 2023 primary science syllabus. These papers were set in 2023, under the older syllabus, but most of their topics are still taught. Each paper's page says how it fits today's syllabus.

Do the PSLE Science papers come with answers?

31 of the 31 come with answers, as a separate PDF so the paper can be tried first. 9 of those are the school's own answer key, and the rest were typed by an unofficial source, which the paper's page says because we have not checked them.

Are the papers free?

Yes. Every question paper downloads free with one click, no sign-up. To get the answers, enter your mobile once and the answers to every paper then download straight away on that device.
