Candidates' Weakness
Candidates were unable to:
- state how to maintain sieve
- mention materials used for liming apart from ash
- ways of maintaining the implement
- identify the labelled parts of a maize crop
- state the processes involved in processing maize crop
- - mention the fungal diseases of maize
- state the effects of the parasite I (Liver fluke) on its host

Based on the observed weaknesses, the Chief Examiners recommended as follow:
- Candidates should embark on visit to agricultural farms.
- There should be intensive self-study and revision before exam.
- Hands-on practical exposure and experience is advocated
- Candidates should be discouraged on the use of unacceptable social media abbreviations.
- Improved reading culture among candidates is advocated.
- Candidates should make use of standard Agricultural Science textbooks when preparing for the WASSCE exam.
