dc.description	STANDARD OF THE PAPER The paper on quantitative tools in business taken in November, was generally well written and the standard of the questions were very adequate for the Level One. In fact, the standard is comparable to the May 2015 paper but a little different from the previous administered papers. There were little or no ambiguities and typing errors in the paper. The only identifiable error or misprint was Question Two where in the wording of the first Sub-Question (i), the word VARIES was used instead of VARIOUS. This error, however had limited effect on the understanding of the question. In general most candidates who tackled this question understood the sub-question. I suggest that the moderator/moderators are given little more time to proof read every paper before they are packaged for the question bank. The mark allocation was well done. Indeed, every sub-question had marks duly allocated and the marks were appropriate for each question ( i.e. it followed the weighting in the revised syllabus). Finally, I will like to say that the questions were evenly spread over the topics in the syllabus. The only limitations of the paper are inadequate graph plotting related questions and some of the questions being a bit technical , example Question Three.	en_US
dc.description.abstract	GENERAL PERFORMANCE The general performance of candidates can be described as below average. Majority of the candidates who wrote their exams at centers outside Accra and Kumasi performed extremely poor with a few scoring above 40%. Few high performers recorded are found in Accra and Kumasi. A couple of candidates scored 0%. There were no traceable copying by candidates except that those who could not answer the questions decided to copy the questions, table of formulae, the normal distribution table into their booklets for marking. Per the scripts submitted for marking this year, one will conclude that candidates were extremely ill-prepared for the paper and this has reflected in their performance.	en_US
