(a)        A SUMMARY OF CANDIDATES’ WEAKNESSES

                        The following shortcomings were observed from candidates’ responses:

-           mis-interpretation of the questions;
-           production of poor sketches;
-           poor knowledge of building construction process terminologies such as bonding, timbering and battering.

(b)        SUGGESTED REMEDY FOR OVERCOMING THESE WEAKNESSES

 

To overcome these weaknesses, candidates should be taught on the use of sketches in answering questions.  Also, regular site visitation (which will enable them to see the practical aspect of building construction) should be encouraged.
