It was reported that the standard of the paper compared very favourably with those of the previous years.  The rubrics were clear and unambiguous and the instructions were precise.  The questions were also clear, straight-forward and had a good coverage of the syllabus.  Accuracies required were well stated and the diagrams were clear.  The marking scheme was reported to be quite liberal, clear and generous.  The marks distributions were adequate and student-centred.

Generally, the performance of candidates was reported not to be different from those of previous years although they appear to have improved over that of last year.  It was also observed that candidates whose performance on the question on Geometrical construction and graphs were above average, performed well in the paper.
