Also, my key prediction is that candidates will not be able to answer questions 1 to question 8. However, there will be a massive and correct response to questions 10, 11 and 12.

Candidates must also note this. Social Studies is a reading subject and as such, examinations on it will require the usage of the English Language in it. There are few instances where candidates are asked to provide mathematical solutions to questions. Armed with this knowledge, students still fail Social Studies. And the main reason why they fail is that they cannot articulate their knowledge in written English(observation of the Chief Examiner). Therefore, the Chief Examiner has advised candidates to improve their grasp of the English Language.
