The weaknesses manifested were:

(1) Inadequate preparation for the examination
Candidates should show greater commitment and interest in the subject. The Revised Standard Version of the Bible is the recommended text and should be use to prepare adequately for the examination.

(2) Misinterpretation of questions
Candidates should spend few minutes to study and interpret the questions in order to understand their demands. Only questions that are clearly understood should be attempted.

(3) Lack of knowledge of the subject matter
They should get familiar with contextual passages and strive to cover all the topics in the syllabus in order to haveadequate knowledge of the subject.

(4) Poor grammatical expression
Candidates are to use the library and read novels in order to improve their grammatical expression and to improve their writing skills. Teachers should drill their candidates on how to attempt questions by giving them assignments in essay writing.

(5) Sermonizing (preaching)
Candidates should avoid unnecessary preamble and write from the prescribed text rather than preaching. They should compliment the study of the Bible with their teachers notes.

(6) Bad and rough handwriting
Candidates should make their writing legible, and they should explain their points well and clearly for many of them have rough and bad handwritings.
