The paper was remarkable in terms of coverage of the syllabus, content and validity. The rubrics in the question paper were clear and easy to understand. Virtually all domains of learning featured significantly in the paper. Candidates performance and styles of response was quite revealing. However, candidates’ performance was below expectation. The marking scheme was detailed, specific and less ambiguous.
