The paper is at par with those of previous years, as it maintained its high standard in terms of quality, adequacy, content and objectivity.  All the questions were also within the scope of the syllabus.

The questions were clear, straightforward and devoid of any ambiguity.  Similarly, the rubrics were clearly stated while the marking scheme was elastic enough to accommodate all possible answers.  Also, there was noticeable improvement in candidates’ performance when compared with those of recent years.
