Abstract:
GENERAL PERFORMANCE
Generally the performance was quite fair. The isolated case of high performance i.e. 70% cut across
all the centres. The low performance was also not peculiar to any particular centre. However, those
centres who had the benefit of tuition performed fairly well. There were also no levels of copying at
any centre.
Turning to strong performance, one cannot be said to spread across the paper. However, the main
indices of high performance are a reflection of the candidates’ preparedness for the examinations. The
low performance is also a reflection of the unpreparedness of the candidates.
Most candidates do not appreciate the questions before they answer. Issues of language, grammar,
spelling and legibility of writing have been commented upon in previous examinations but it appears
there is no change. Since the Institute is organizing tuition, the lecturers should be encouraged to test
grammar at least about five (5) minutes at each session before lectures begins.
