Candidates’ inaccurate readings translated into their undoing due to lack of understanding/lack of the measuring instruments involved in the tasks.
Suggested Remedies
It was suggested that to remedy this weakness:
- the exposure of candidates to as many practical sessions as possible in the use of measuring instruments was necessary;
- appropriate authorities should provide functional electrical measuring instruments for candidates practice before examination;
- teachers themselves were required to master the use of electrical measuring instruments to offer effective tutorship to candidates.
