dc.description.abstract	STANDARD OF PAPER The standard and quality of the paper was good and in line with the required standard. The quality of the questions was considered good and were generally clear, straight forward and devoid of ambiguities making it easy for candidates to understand. This clearly reflected in the performance of the candidates in the paper. The questions reflected a comprehensive coverage of the syllabus with each question containing a number of sub questions spread across the various topics in the syllabus. This enabled candidates to largely have the opportunity to answer each question. Candidates generally were able to attempt all questions within the stipulated time. The distribution of questions between theory or essay and quantitative or calculations was also largely good. In this paper, theory questions carried 36 marks while the remaining 64 marks were for calculations or quantitative questions spread across the various subject areas thereby testing the candidates understanding of both areas. The trend was similar in April sitting as theory covered 39% and calculations covered the remaining 61%. The quality of the questions was considered standard and providing adequate information expected to enable candidates understand and answer the questions. They were generally precise, straight forward, and easy to understand. Marks allocation was good and well spread and in line with load and difficulty level of questions.	en_US
