(i)         Poor graphical analysis

                        Quite a good number of candidates showed great deficiency in the application of
graphical representations to economic analysis.  This weakness resulted in poor
performance in questions where such analyses were required.

            (ii)        The use of wrong terminologies

                        Some of the candidates failed to use the correct economic terminologies in
 providing answers to the questions they attempted.  This made it difficult for
 them to put forward their points which obviously resulted in poor scores.

            (iii)       Failure to expatiate points

A reasonable number of candidates only identified points but did not go further   to explain these points to earn maximum marks.

4.         SUGGESTED REMEDIES TO WEAKNESSES

(i)Candidates need to pay more attention to graphic analysis in Economics.  Teachers should emphasize this aspect in their teaching since it is very necessary   for the candidates to understand it in order for them to perform well in the subject.

(ii)Candidates should acquaint themselves with basic economic terms.                 These terms are necessary in their expression when answering questions in Economics.

(iii)Candi dates should be encouraged by their teachers to always expatiate their  points as this is the only way they can earn good scores in the examination.
