You could easily predict the school you are likely to be placed by just looking at the grading system above. All candidates who had between aggregate 6 and 10 are likely to be placed in their first choices. Aggregate 11 to 19 candidates, are also likely to be placed in the their second choices.

However, it should be noted that getting the best grades doesn’t guarantee your first choice during placement. WAEC sometimes uses the Stanine grading system for BECE. It is norm-referenced, meaning, the result’s architecture is pre-determined. Under Stanine, the % of candidates who will obtain Grade 1-9 is virtually fixed, so you must justify your inclusion into that percentage.

The SHS placement is based on merits from the BECE aggregate and the best choices made after following the CSSPS guidelines

ABOUT CSSPS

The Computerized School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) is an online portal designed for BECE graduates to access Senior High School (SHS) placement after their BECE results have been released by WAEC.

The CSSPS is done based on six subjects namely; English Language, Mathematics, Integrated Science, Social Studies, and two additional best-performed subjects of a candidate.

Although there is no specific aggregate for school placement, the Ghana Education Service (GES) has over the year stated that candidates who had aggregate 9 in the English Language, or Mathematics will not qualify for placement.

The CSSPS policy guideline stated, candidates who obtained aggregate 9 in English Language or Mathematics which are the basic required subjects to qualify for placement, such candidate may not be placed by CSSPS.
