OBSERVATION

The performance of candidates was fair on this number as a good number of the candidates could name the parts which make up the reflex arc. A lot of the candidates however could not give examples of simple reflexes. In stating the lenses used for correcting short and long sight, many candidates mixed up the lenses stating that short sight will be corrected by convex lenses and long sight by concave lenses rather than vise versa.
