questions covered wide range of the examination syllabus and the rubrics were clearly
worded. Also, the marking scheme was adequate and exhaustive. The performance of the candidates was poorer that of previous year given the raw mean
score of 17 and a standard deviation of 9.38 compared to a raw mean score of 22 and a
standard deviation of 10.63 in the May/June 2009 WASSCE.
