Weakess/Remedies
Some of the weaknesses observed in the candidates’ scripts are:
- Insufficient knowledge of the subject: Most of the candidates did not have good understanding and knowledge of the subject. As a result, they could not satisfactorily attempt the questions that need them to apply their knowledge of commerce.
- Many candidates did not do well in application and calculation questions. These are questions 2, 6 and 8. Also, the candidates’ performance in commodity exchange was poor.
- The candidates should be encouraged to study standard and recommended text books on commerce in their preparation for the examination.
- Teachers should teach students how to answer applied questions.
- Teachers should also expose students to calculation questions.
