The candidates’ weaknesses include their inability to:

• write correct spellings/wrong labellings.
• understand questions before answering them.
• label diagrams/structures appropriately.
• use appropriate words/terms in health education for expression.
• cover the examination syllabus.

The following remedies were suggested to overcome these weaknesses:

• teachers should emphasize correct spellings of words and labellings.
• students should make use of the dictionary when reading and checking of unfamiliar words.
• terminologies should be properly taught during teaching.
• both teachers and students should cover the syllabus before the on-set of the examination.
• charts should be used as teaching aid during teaching and learning for better understanding of diagrams/structures.
