One of the weaknesses noticed in the candidates' scripts was
their inability to draw good outline maps and locate the given
features accurately. This weakness contributed immensely to the
poor performance of the candidates. It could be overcome by
studying with good atlas maps and by practising constantly, the
drawing of maps and location of features on the map. Teachers
could assist by giving the students regular assignments on this
and correcting their work thereafter. Another major weakness
found in the candidates' scripts is poor explanation of points.
Many candidates did not give full explanation of their points as
required in essay questions and lost some good marks. Candidates
could overcome this weakness by reading standard textbooks to
enrich their knowledge and by giving explanation of their points
so as to earn full marks. Some candidates also violated the
rubrics. Some did not answer the required number of questions
and some answered more questions than required. Candidates
should read the rubrics
