Observation

This was a compulsory question but the performance of the candidates in the question was just fair.  Many of the candidates who answered the question could not properly locate pass, conical hill, ridge and steep slope.  It is advisable that candidates practice the identification of relief features thoroughly so that they will be competent in the art.  Some of the candidates could not draw the annotated cross profile well.  Much practice/practical work is required on the part of the candidates in this area.  Many of the candidates correctly identified two human features that could be seen along the road as one travelled from Ebiya to Ilosi.
