dc.description	PERFORMANCE OF THE CANDIDATES More than 80% of the candidates scored less than 40% of the total marks while a few candidates scored below 12%. This could be attributed to inadequate preparation by candidates, or the low standard achieved in their previous level of studies. The general performance of the candidates was far below average. The high performers were concentrated in Kumasi and Accra. The low performers were in the other regional centres. The low performers were concentrated in the rest of the regional centres including some centres in Accra. There were no signs of copying. The level of preparedness of candidates for the exams was low and this reflected in their poor performance. Candidates who prepared adequately and were ready for the examinations scored more than 50% of the total marks. A few candidates scored above 65% of the total marks.	en_US
dc.description.abstract	EXAMINER’S REPORT STANDARD OF THE PAPER The standard of the questions could not be compared to those previously administered. With the exception of Question 3 which was quite loaded, the rest of the questions were not and the volume of work required was quite minimal. The questions covered all the relevant sections and reflected the weighting of the topics in the syllabus, and it followed a similar pattern in the previous exams. A flexible marking scheme was produced because of few ambiguities in the question to prevent students being disadvantaged. In all, the standard of the paper was good. The marks allocation followed the weightings in the syllabus, except question three whose total mark allocation was 30. This was due to the various sub sections in the question.	en_US
