Physics (Essay) Paper 2 WASSCE (SC), 2023

General Comments

 

 

The quality of this year's exam paper was impressive, with appropriate items and clear, unambiguous questions that fell within the scope of the syllabus. The paper also included well-reflected operational and graphical cases, and rubrics were provided clearly. Additionally, the allotted time for the exam was sufficient.

However, there was a significant decline in performance compared to the WASSCE for School Candidates 2022 examination, with only 846,875 candidates taking the exam and achieving a raw mean score of 19 out of 60, and a standard deviation of 09.00. In contrast, the 2022 exam had 801,212 candidates and a raw mean score of 25 out of 60, with a standard deviation of 10.15.
