As shown in Table 4.3, the highest failure rates are found in questions 47, 48, 46, 44, 45, 36 and 43. These were questions on Units of area, Volume, Capacity, Length, and respectively. The failure rates in these items, in their respective Time Weight, order, range from 83.9% to 70.7%. The next category in the order of difficulty, were questions with failure rates ranging between 50% and 70% which were on: and Percentages, Angles, Number patterns, Algebra Arithmetic operations involving negative numbers. 4.3: Percentages of Students’ Failure on Competence Tested in the Task No Task/Question Class level Competence Percentage taught or skill required failures 47 Badili m2 100 kuwa sm2 IV, V, VI, Conversion of units of 83.9 area Convert 100 m2 into cm2 48 Badili m3 10 kuwa sm3 V, VI, VII Conversion of of 82.9 volume Convert 10m3 into cm3 46 Badili m3 1000 kuwa lita V, VI, VII Conversion of units of 81.9 volume Convert 1000m3 into litres 44 Kadiria urefu wa mlango wa III, IV, V, Estimation of length 76.9 chumba cha darasa lako kwa VI kutumia sentimita.
