Physics (Essay) Paper 2 WASSCE (PC 2ND), 2020

Weakness & Remedies

 

 

  • Poor mathematical representation.
  • Poor understanding of some topics like projectile motion, semiconductor,
    radioactivity, etc.
  • Inability to
    • handle computational and numerical problems in physics;
    • distinguish between variables e.g heat and temperature;
    • define to define terms using the appropriate key words;
    • to handle questions that requires drawing.

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

  • Candidates should prepare adequately before the commencement of the examination.
  • Physics teachers should endeavour to put more effort in solving mathematical problems after each lesson.
  • Qualified and experienced Physics teachers should be employed
