Observation

The passage was interesting and offered a subject matter that was within the experience and grasp of the candidates. The information required for answering content questions correctly was very clear in the passage. The performance of the candidates was fairly good consequent on the simplicity of the comprehension passage. However, some candidates did not demonstrate a clear understating of the passage. Such candidates resorted to copying portions of the passage as answers. Also, most candidates could not give a correct replacement for “feats” as used in the passage. Most wrote “accomplishments” which did not fit into the context in which the word was used in the passage.
