The standard, scope and pattern of the paper was good and the quality of the items compared well with those of the previous years.  The questions were well framed in simple language. The items as well as the rubrics were unambiguous. The paper tested the candidates in the following areas:

  • recall of the definition of terms and statements of the laws;
  • understanding of the fundamental theories of Physics;
  • comprehension of the relationship between physical quantities;
  • description of experimental procedure;

The marking scheme was quite clear and comprehensive.
