Tips for 2026 BECE candidates

1. Currently, candidates need to study and also be in class for the last ‘APOR’ from teachers.
2. Also study past questions. One secret most candidates don’t know about the BECE and WASSCE is that WAEC doesn’t really set new questions. About 90% of all WASSCE and BECE questions are all past questions. WAEC usually frames the questions to make them new, but it’s a past question.
3. Candidates should concentrate on the last five BECE past questions, which include those for 2024 and 2025, but also make good use of BECE mocks from the same period.
4. Avoid Total Dependence On Teachers And Tutors For Exam Preparation. If you think total dependence on your teacher will help you pass your exams, then you are wrong. As a BECE and WASSCE candidate, you have to do a lot more on your own. Constant reading, preparation, and looking for additional materials on the subject matter will broaden your knowledge of the subject.
5. Mastering the act of answering questions will be an added advantage for candidates.
6. and understanding and make sure your answers are well written.
