General Comments

The standard of the paper was satisfactory and comparable to previous years. The print, design and innovation were commendable. The paper was remarkable in terms of coverage of the syllabus, content and validity. The rubrics in the question paper were clear and easy to understand. Virtually all domains of learning featured significantly in the paper. Candidates performance and styles of response was quite revealing. However, candidates’ performance was below expectation. The marking scheme was detailed, specific and less ambiguous.

The time allotted was adequate. The performance of the candidates was at par with Nov/Dec 2015 WASSCE. This year paper recorded candidature of 77990 with raw mean score of 13 out of 60 and standard deviation of 06.24 as compared to Nov/Dec 2015 WASSCE with a raw mean score of 13 out of 60 and standard deviation of 06.71 with candidature of 106351.
