Candidates' Weakness

Candidates’ weaknesses were observed in these areas:

    (1)Content – Some candidates were unable to write up to the required number of pages and words. i.e. 2½ pages and 300 words respectively.  Some did not make good use of the punctuation marks and the diacritic mark (.).

    (2)Lack of in-depth knowledge of the Language – Some candidates could not explain the terms given to them. This showed that they lacked good knowledge of the language.

    (3)Literature Texts – Some candidates found it difficult to answer questions on the literature texts.  This simply attested to the fact that they did not read the prescribed textbooks.

    SUGGESTED REMEDIES

    (1)Candidates should always practise essay writing at their convenient times making use of dots where necessary to bring out the required understanding and meaning of their essays. This will help in preparing them adequately for the examination.  Teachers should equally organize competitions in proverbs and reward winners.

    (2)Candidates should endeavour to learn how to speak and write the language by listening to Igbo educative programmes and by reading Igbo novels and journals.

 

    (3)Candidates should equip themselves with the prescribed textbooks to

enable them prepare well for the examinations.
