Abstract:
EXAMINER’S GENERAL COMMENTS
The performance of candidates in the May 2021 exams diet was a much improvement
over the November 2020 exams diet. A higher percentage of candidates performed
better in all the five questions. Candidates may have taken a cue from the abysmal
performance witnessed in November 2020. A few candidates, however failed to
demonstrate sufficient understanding of relevant concepts and principles. As usual,
poor preparedness and failure to focus on key aspects of the syllabus can be attributed
to their failure.
The nature of the question set, generally, was of the appropriate standard for the level
being assessed. The question mix was also evenly weighted. To some extent, the
questions did not demand too much from the candidates. Yet, a significant number
of the candidates could not pass.
