Physics (Essay) Paper 2, WASSCE (PC 2ND), 2019

Weakness & Remedies

 

The following were observed as candidates’ weaknesses:

- Poor mathematical representation.
- Poor understanding of projectile motion, lasers, solar power station, energy, etc.
- Inability to;
- express themselves in good and simple sentences
- accurately give the statement of definitions, state equations, formulas and substitution.
- to draw conclusions from calculations or solved problems.

Based on the observed weaknesses, the Chief Examiners recommended as follows:

- More attention should be paid on topics like circular motion and simple harmonic motion
- Physics teachers should endeavour to solve mathematical problems after each lesson.
- Candidates should study and not read Physics
- Candidates should practice exercises from recommended textbooks
- Qualified and experienced Physics teachers should be employed
