Candidates' Weakness

It was observed that some candidates had difficulty in the use of measuring instruments to obtain required readings based on the tasks given. A number of candidates also could not make reasonable comments on the results obtained from the experiments

(b)Suggested Remedy

This weakness can be overcome by:

  1. exposure of candidates to several practical sessions (hands-on in the use of measuring instruments is necessary as well as proper connection of devices);
  2. stakeholders providing functional electrical equipment, tools, instruments and consumables to secondary schools for practical sessions to ease transfer of formidable psycho-skills before examinations;
