CANDIDATES’ WEAKNESSES

- The candidates could not apply their knowledge of the principles of insurance to solve practical question hence, they performed poorly in the case study which was in question 1.

- Insufficient knowledge of the subject matter: Most candidates exhibited poor understanding of the subject. As a result they could not satisfactorily attempt questions on insurance contracts and policies, as used in questions five (5) and seven (7) respectively.

- Poor mastery of the use of English grammar as reflected in some candidates’ inability to express their ideas and points clearly in explanation of terms and policies, thus they lost valuable marks.

SUGGESTED REMEDIES

- The candidates should be encouraged to study standard and comprehensive texts as recommended by the Council in their preparation for the examination.

- The teachers should endeavour to cover all parts of the examination syllabus with emphasis on practice questions on case studies so as to familiarize the candidates with examination scenarios and enhance their performance.
