Suggested Remedies

The following suggestions were proffered by the Chief Examiner.
(1) Candidates should be encouraged to adhere strictly to given instructions and demands on each question
(2) Teachers and candidates should endeavour to cover the syllabus while preparing for the examination.
(3) Teachers are encouraged to emphasize these weak areas during instruction and should not relent in giving out assignment and exercise to the candidates.
(4) Candidates should be exposed to past W ASSCE questions.
