They were generally weak in questions 1c, 4 and .6b which were on ways of using left-over cooked fish, factors that can reduce fatigue in the kitchen and reasons for collecting information on local dishes for recipe development respectively.

In order to overcome the above stated weaknesses, the teachers should endeavour to expose the students to the areas of their weaknesses and encourage them to study very well.  The students should also be reminded to start a new answer on a fresh page of the answer booklet, they should also be mindful of their spellings when answering questions.
