Garment Making Paper 2, WASSCE (SC), 2018

Candidates' Weakness

 

Candidates did not give enough attention to the practical aspect of the subject that must have accounted for their avoidance of question 5.Few of them that attempted question 5(a) were writing the answer in the space   provided for question 5(b) which cost them marks.
            Question 2(c)   was not attempted by many of the students, those who did, did not do well at all. The candidates confused patch work with amendment work done on torn or worn out garments. In question 4, many candidates  answered this question but most ,of them did not score high marks because most of their answers were general but not specific to the various parts asked.

            To overcome these weaknesses,

  • Candidates should give more attention to practical topics.
  • Candidates should be more depth in various topics and study the specific functions of the tools and equipment they use.
  • Teachers should be dedicated to their work.
  • Students should cultivate reading habit.
  • Teachers should ensure they do some demonstrations in the classroom.
