The summary of perceived candidates’ weaknesses included:
- poor expression;
- poor presentation of relevant materials;
- some candidates misinterpreted the requirements of some of the questions;
- inadequate knowledge of the subject matters;
- poor knowledge of drawing good diagrams.
However, these weaknesses could be remedied if the following steps were
taken:
- students should read textbooks to improve on their expressions;
- they should also learn to arrange their points in orderly manner;
- candidates should ensure that they cover the entire syllabus before the examination;
- teachers should endeavour to teach the students the use of right terms required in answering questions on some basic concepts.
