EXAMINER’S GENERAL COMMENTS Generally, candidates recorded average performance for the November, 2019 sitting, partly because the marking scheme was made flexible.

STANDARD OF THE PAPER The standard of the questions was appropriate for the level being assessed. The difficulty level of the paper is standard and within expectation. Questions were evenly weighted, the paper followed the pattern of the previous sittings and is generally consistent in standard with the previous sitting’s paper. The questions required critical thinking and a good mastery of the relevant areas of the syllabus. The mark allocations generally followed the weightings in the syllabus grid. Marks were fairly allocated to questions and sub questions. The marks allocated to questions were commensurate with the amount of time and effort required to answer the questions.
