The standard of the paper  was comparable with those of previous years,
as it retained its high standard and adequacy in terms of quality. All the 
questions were within the scope of the examiriation syllabus.
The questions were clear, adequate and straightforward. The rubrics 
                          were clearly stated while the marking scheme was elastic enough to 
                          accommodate all possible answers. However, noticeable improvement 
                          was observed in candidates' performance when compared with recent 
                          years.
