Physics Paper 3A WASSCE (SC), 2023

Weakness and Remedies

 

 

The following were observed weaknesses,

  • Usage of inappropriate pencils and mathematical instruments in plotting graphs;
  • Inability to choose a reasonable scale;
  • Poor use of standard forms when graphing decimal numbers;
  • Inability to interpret graphs to make meaningful deductions;
  • Insufficient understanding of Physics principle and concepts.

The following remedies were proffered:

  • Government and school owners should build modern laboratories with state of the art facilities in schools across the nation;
  • Teachers should emphasis proper formatting and labeling of axes, selecting appropriate scales, and accurately representing data on graphs.;
  • Teachers should strive to incorporate more everyday examples when teaching basic concepts of physics;
  • Qualified teachers should be employed to teach Physics;
  • Teachers should be encouraged to attend WAEC Coordination and Marking Exercise.
