Candidates’ Weaknesses
The weaknesses observed on the candidates’ scripts are explained below:
- Poor map work
The map reading work was poorly done as many candidates could not draw the cross profile from A – B correctly. Some of them could not also describe the influence of relief on the settlement in the mapped area.
- Poor performance in the question on statistical mapping.
Many of the candidates who attempted the question on flow chart could not
Correctly draw the flow lines using the specified scale.
- Violation of rubrics
Some candidates violated the rubrics on the question paper. Rubrics are
Meant to be obeyed.
- Scanty knowledge on some of the attempted questions
Some of the candidates had scanty knowledge on the question they attempted
thus leading to sketchy answers and consequently loss of marks.
