Candidates' Weakness

(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.
