General Comments

The standard of the paper compared favourably with the previous years.  The questions were clearly itemized with the rubrics and also covered a wide range of the syllabus.  The marking scheme was exhaustive and flexible.

The performance of the candidates was poorer than the previous year with a candidates’ population of 2,273 which had a raw mean score of 11 and standard deviation of 02.83 against a raw mean score of 11 and standard deviation of 05.92 for the November/December 2015 WASSCE which had a candidates population of 2,724.
