STANDARD OF THE PAPER The standard of the paper was good. It compares favourably with those of previous sittings. There were no ambiguities, typographical or other errors in the paper. The marks allocation was fair and marks were allocated to each sub-question. All the questions were within the scope of the syllabus.

PERFORMANCE OF THE CANDIDATES The performance was below expectation especially as all the questions were within the scope of the syllabus. There was no significant improvement in the candidate’s performance. Some of the candidates performed poorly because it was evident from their scripts that they did not prepare very well for the examination. It appears most of the candidates did not read the study manual.
