Candidates' Weakness

  • The weaknesses observed generally among the candidates included: drawing of poor diagrams with loss of details;
  • Not confirming to size specifications in the drawing of diagrams; drawing diagrams with woolly and broken lines;
  • Guidelines not touching the structures they were meant to label; use of plural of words for a single guideline;
  • Not giving titles to diagrams;
  • Inability to relate structures with their functions; poor performance on genetic crossings.
    • The following remedies were proffered to overcome these weakness.

 

  • Teachers should engage the candidates in regular practical classes;
  • Candidates should be taught how to draw biology diagrams;
  •  Teachers should engage the candidates in spelling drills;
  • Classroom teachers should endeavour to take part in W AEC Coordination and marking exercises.
