Physics Paper 3A WASSCE (SC), 2021

Weakness and Remedies

 

The following were observed as the candidates’ weaknesses. Inability to:

  • read measurements made from basic physics instruments like metre rule to the required accuracy;
  • to match points on the x-y coordinates;
  • choose correct scales for plotting of graph;
  • handle decimal figures in terms of the use of standard forms on the graph;
  • use correct terminologies on reporting;
  • use reasonable scale for the graph
  • draw line of best fit.

The following remedies were proffered:

  • Government should build well equipped laboratories in schools across the nation;
  • Teachers should expose potential candidates to practical work early enough;
  • Teachers should endeavor to attend WAEC coordination and marking exercise to acquire more experience;
  • Qualified teachers should be employed to teach students from SS1 to SS3;
  • Teachers should be subjected to rigorous in-service training to improve and acquaint themselves with the latest knowledge in science.
