Keys to unlocking 8As in WASSCE or 9 Ones in the BECE

The recommended article above and what I am about to share in this will help you to discover how to “Blow” your WASSCE. Let us now find the 8 Keys to unlocking 8As in the WASSCE.

#1 Self Belief and Leadership

The first of the 8 Keys to unlocking 8As WASSCE Success is to develop Self Belief and Leadership to help you  “Blow” WASSCE.

Getting ready for the WASSCE requires that you are in the right frame of mind. Some students even before they complete their registration for their Secondary School leaving examination administered by WAEC start asking themselves if they can pass. Some students even harbour the thought that they will fail.

This kind of mindset will mess up every good thing and the hard work you are doing just to excel in the examination. You need to lead your mind. Leading yourself includes good time management and your mind.

Do not allow your pessimistic mind to rule your thoughts. Students who perform well do not only prepare well for the examination, they also control their minds to think and believe in the positive side of things happening.

HOW TO OVERCOME EXAMINATION FEAR IN THE EXAM HALL

#2 Start preparing early if you aim at unlocking your 8As WASSCE Success record

We may be in April and your examination may be in August or September. You cannot wait till one month before the examination to start stressing your life with last-minute, ineffective preparation.

No way, that is not a good way to unlock 8As in WASSCE. Be an early bird. Start your preparation way ahead of the examination month and build momentum. Ensure that, you learn in piecemeal if you start early and be disciplined.

Late preparation is dangerous, “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” – Benjamin Franklin

#3 Forget about Apor

Unlocking 8As in the WASSCE, Success does not mean depending on Apor.

Chasing leaked examination papers, which are often scams, would only make you lazy and dependent on them. From the start of your preparation, take the thought of getting leaked papers and do your self favour by focusing on your lessons.

#4 Work on weak subjects and topics

Becoming specialized in one or two subjects as a WASSCE candidate is like signing your death warrant.

One of the 8 Keys to unlocking 8As WASSCE Success is that you must never specialize, instead work on weak subjects and topics.

If Mathematics is your weakest link, start working on it. Do not forget that if you are to score good marks and make it to the university, every subject you study and write at the WASSCE counts.

Get help from your friends who are good in the subject you have difficulties in if you want to make good grades. Do not be shy to seek help. Even if others tease you, ignore them and get what you want.

#5 Do not ignore past papers, sample questions

Past questions can be a game-changer after you have done all the learning. This is one of the 8 keys that can increase the chances of unlocking 8As WASSCE results.

Practice past papers and get copies of past questions and answers. Study how questions are framed and answered. Follow the same approach and technique in answering questions.

The sad thing is that many of our secondary schools and teachers are sometimes frustrated and have to do all they can to complete the syllabus and forget to coach candidates on how to answer examination questions until the last month or so.

Get books that explain how to answer examinations questions, know the meaning of words such as “List“, “Mention“, “Describe” or  “Define” and the others.

Know what is required each time they are used in general and for specific subjects. Knowing the content and the answer is not the same as writing it the way the examiner wants it.

#6 Use your phones for learning

Sometimes, I wonder why today’s WASSCE candidates are not able to make go grades when they have and use mobile phones. How can you use your phone to learn and make good grades?.

Now, this is the method that helped me back then as a secondary and university student. I used my mobile phone to record my notes.

Thus, I read the notes or textbooks loud and clear and use my mobile phone to record the audio, which is properly saved on the phone.

On my way to school, at home, or where ever I may find myself when learning with the textbook was not possible, I start to replay the audio.

TOP TIPS FOR PASSING WASSCE OR BECE

 

#7 Cultivate Good Reading Habits and Stop The Poor Reading Habits

Many students, without a doubt, have completely forgotten that the only way to pass an exam is to study and prepare diligently.

In recent years, I’ve discovered that the majority of students don’t read before exams such as the WASSCE for school and private candidates because they believe the exam is too difficult, and that their only alternative is to cheat during the exam. This, believe me, has contributed to the demise of numerous contenders.

Those who erroneously wrote without reading generally received more than 5 Fs, and those detected cheating were severely penalized by WAEC.

Reading is the surest way to study but do not read mathematics, you have to practice by solving questions.  Good reading habit is one of the 8 Keys to unlocking 8As in the WASSCE and recording exam success you can be proud of.

#8 Create and use a personal timetable

If you are hungry for success in the upcoming WASSCE, you will start planning how to overcome WAEC and pass your WASSCE. This requires a learning timetable.

This must be structured well to take care of other social activities. A personal timetable to guide you to constantly learn and prepare would make learning towards the examination a habit. In fact, it is part of the 8 Keys to unlocking 8As WASSCE result success.
