CANDIDATES’ WEAKNESSES
Some of the weaknesses observed in the candidates’ scripts were:
- Many students are very poor in attempting basic mathematical questions which would have earned them full marks.
- Some students do not seem to understand the questions before attempting them. Most of them do not know the difference between list and state.
SUGGESTED REMEDIES
- The candidates should learn the use of English grammar to enable them express their points clearly and correctly.
- Teachers should thoroughly teach the candidates the aspect of memo.
- Candidates should study standard text books as recommended by the West African Examination Council (WAEC) in preparing for the examination rather than answering questions with residual knowledge.
- Listing could be put in simple words or clause while to state could be put in simple sentences.
