Mining Paper 2 WASSCE (SC), 2017

Candidates’ Weaknesses

The following weaknesses were observed on the candidates’ scripts:

  1. Incomplete coverage of the syllabus

It was observed that candidates did not completely cover the syllabus especially aspects of gemology and lapidary, health, safety and environment, mining policy and Basic mine accounting.

  1. Scanty explanation of points

Points which ought to be adequately explained were merely listed.  This led to the loss of valuable marks.

SUGGESTED REMEDIES FOR OVERCOMING CANDIDATES’ WEAKNESSES

  1.    Complete coverage of the syllabus

   It is advised that candidates should start reading on time so that they would fully   cover the syllabus before the examination begins.

  1.    Adequate explanation of points:

   where required candidates should adequately  explain their points in order to    obtain full marks.
