General Comments

The standard of the paper was high, and compared favourably with those of the previous year. The rubrics were clear, and stems were clearly worded. The marking scheme was detailed, clear and fair to all candidates.
The raw mean score of 19.0 and standard deviation of 06.71 showed that the performance of the candidates was better than that of Nov./Dec. 2015 with a raw mean score of 17.0 and standard deviation of 09.11.
