General Comments on the paper as whole

The standard of the paper compared favourably with that of the previous years/diets.  The rubrics were clearly stated and the Marking Scheme was well structured, comprehensive and adequately answered the demands of the questions with marks well distributed. The questions were within the scope of the Syllabus and covered all areas of the syllabus. Candidates’ performance showed a slight decrease in candidates' improvement when compared to diets of the previous years.
