STANDARD OF QUESTIONS The choice of questions, their interpretation and quality were geared strictly towards the confines and relevance of the syllabus and standards of previous examinations. This approach was meant to avoid a mismatch between the syllabus and the actual comprehension of candidates of questions that were set. There were hardly any typing errors in the question scripts and the questions were generally devoid of ambiguities. The weighting principle was used in allocating marks in order to avoid wide variations in marks allocation.

GENERAL PERFORMANCE Scripts that were marked and moderated indicated poor performance in some centres and good performance in other centres. This may be due to better teaching facilities available in some centres and the absence or non availability of teaching facilities in other areas throughout the country.
