Commerce WASSCE (SC), 2018

Candidate's Weakness

Some of the weaknesses observed in the candidates’ scripts are:

-           Insufficient knowledge of the subject:  Most of the candidates did not have good understanding and knowledge of the subject.  As a result, they could not satisfactorily attempt the questions that need them to apply their knowledge of commerce.
-           Many candidates did not do well in application and calculation questions. These are questions 2, 4a, 5b and 8.    

 

Suggested Remedies

  1. The candidates should be encouraged to study standard and recommended text books on commerce in their preparation for the examination
  2. Teachers should teach students how to answer applied questions.
  3. Teachers should also expose students to calculation questions
