Candidates’ Weaknesses
Candidates were found wanting in the following areas:
(i) ability to adhere to instructions;
(ii) answering questions based on that which they have in their head rather than the questions asked;
(iii) lack of proper use of the different computer packages;
(iv) mass copy of a single print out/ a print out to several candidates due to
lack of computers/printers;
(v) inability to print out the finished products;
(b) Suggested Remedies
It was suggested that to remedy this weakness:
- the exposure of candidates to as many practical sessions as possible in the use the computer and its different application packages;
- appropriate authorities should provide adequate and functional computer systems and accessories for candidates’ practice before examination;
- teachers themselves were required to master the use of computer systems and the different application packages to offer effective tutorship to candidates.
