The paper compared favourably with those of previous years in standard, the skills tested
and the coverage of the prescribed examination syllabus. The questions were straight
forward and clearly itemized to ease comprehension. The rubrics were clear and the
marking scheme was quite flexible and exhaustive.
The performance of the candidates was lower than that of the previous year. The
candidates' population of 1,192,571 had a raw mean score of 21 and a standard deviation
of 10.63 as against a raw mean score of23 and a standard deviation of 10.34 recorded in
the May/June 2010 WASSCE with a candidate population of 1,041,167.
