General Comments

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 flexible and exhaustive. 
Candidates’ performance was poorer than that of the previous year.  A total of 545,673 candidates sat for the paper with a raw mean score of 32 and a standard deviation of 8.43 as against a raw mean score of 36 and a standard deviation of 8.43 recorded in the WASSCE for School Candidates, 2020 which had candidates’ population of 530,597.
