General Weakness

-        Candidates showed weakness in questions 3, 4b, 5b and 8.

-        Poor preparation for the examination.  This was observed in candidates’ poor responses to questions, showing inadequate knowledge of the subject.
-        Insufficient knowledge of the subject, as a result they could not satisfactorily attempt application questions.
-        Few candidates attempted question 8 and the performance was very poor.

SUGGESTED REMEDIES

(i)      Candidates should be encouraged to study standard and comprehensive textbooks in their preparation for the examination rather than relying on key-points.
(iii)     Candidates should cover every part of the syllabus while preparing for the examination. 

(iv)     Government should endeavour to recruit qualified Business Education graduates to teach the subject.
