- Insufficient knowledge of the subject matter as the candidates could not satisfactorily attempt some questions.
- Some candidates misinterpreted questions and commands. They found it difficult to distinguish between “State” and “List”.
- Most Candidates could not apply their knowledge of the subject in attempting application questions.
SUGGESTED REMEDIES
