Commerce WASSCE (SC), 2023

Candidate's Weakness

Some of the weaknesses observed in the candidates’ scripts are

-           Many candidates listed items instead of stating the answers as required in some questions.
-           The arrangement of some candidates’ work was haphazard especially in question.
-           Many candidates did not understand the expectation of some questions hence wrote off point.
-           Many candidates answered two or more questions in a page.
-           Many candidates did not use conjunctions words like while when they were expected to compare or differentiate.

 

Suggested Remedies

 

  1. The candidates should be encouraged to study standard and recommended text books on commerce in their preparation for the examination.
  2. Teachers should be encouraged to expose their students to practical questions.
  3. Teachers should be encouraged to teach students how to answer applied questions.
