Examination Tips.
From our investigations and research, the following have been  the norm.

• Three multiple choices questions are asked for each unit, students should see the latest exam paper on topics covered. 
• One short answer question for each unit worth 7 marks have been written. 
• Mostly Save Books (save buks) haven been frequently used to get examination questions. 
• Teachers must teach all the units.
• Students must learn and study all the units and its topics.
