EXAMINER’S GENERAL COMMENTS The Business Management and Information Systems paper was of standard quality. The questions indicated how many points candidates were required to explain/discuss for the marks allocated. The question paper was very well spread across the syllabus

PERFORMANCE OF CANDIDATES The performance of candidates was fairly good. However, it compared unfavourably with the May 2016 performance. Out of 500 candidates who sat for the examination, 299 failed to obtain a pass. This represents 60% pass rate. This compares unfavourably with May 2016 result where the pass rate was 78%.
