WEAKNESS/REMEDIES

Candidates’ weaknesses are the same as those pointed out every year in this part of the Chief Examiners’ report.  They include the following:

(i)      ignorance of the grammar of the English Language;
(ii)      inability to punctuate sentences correctly;
(iii)     unfamiliarity with the written word;
(iv)     inability to understand the content of the set passages and the questions on them;
(v)      word – for – word copying of the passages.

Schools should ensure that their candidates are taught the basics of the English Language.  Candidates on their part, should make a genuine effort to understand and answer the questions rather than rely completely on answers circulated by mercenaries.  Consistent study and regular practice should make candidates familiar with the written word and give them confidence in tackling the questions.
