In spite of the  obvious weaknesses among the candidates, a few of them manifested strengths in:
                        
                          - The knowledge of Nok art
 
                        
                        An in-depth  knowledge of the Nok art tradition was conspicuous in the candidates’ scripts.  Most candidates were attracted to the question and they performed creditably in  it as most of them earned the maximum available marks on the question. 
                        
                          - Comprehensive responses to question
 
                        
                        In the previous  years, candidates’ responses to most questions in Visual art were often sketchy  and lacked the required details. Contrastingly this time, some candidates  responded correctly and comprehensively to questions.
