GENERAL PERFORMANCE The general pass rate of candidates in the subject was 38%. That is, out of a total number of 240 candidates who wrote the paper only 92 passed and 148 failed. The performance was below average. High performers were concentrated in Accra and Cape Coast Centres whiles low performers were not concentrated in a particular centre. They are concentrated in a lot of the centres as such tuition in some of these centres are to be intensified. The level of preparedness of some of the candidates were not adequate enough. This reflected in the abysmal performance of some of the candidates.

STANDARD OF THE PAPER The standard of the paper for November, 2015 was a bit higher than that of May, 2015. The questions were a bit high at the knowledge level of this examination and they were too loaded. STRENGTH OF CANDIDATES Specific areas in which strengths were demonstrated were questions one (1) and four (4) where candidates pass rate was 67% and 51% respectively on the average. Candidates were well prepared in those topics. The under listed areas on which such strengths can be enhanced: (i) Vigorous teaching and learning by both teachers and students. (ii) A lot of mock tests should be administered to candidates prior to the main examination so that all rough edges could be smoothened. (iii) More past questions should be practiced by students. (iv) Setters of questions should be made to set questions from the Institute’s recommended texts. (v) Other parameters that will strengthen the examinations.
