RME – EXAMINERS REPORT – APRIL 2024

The average performance of the candidates was VERY GOOD. Below are a key few mistakes I found;

3. Candidates are advised to desist from listing more than what’s needed from them. If a candidate is asked to give four examples, he or she should obey such instructions.
4. Candidates are advised to perform very well in the objectives in order to secure a good grade.
