The Ghana Education News has released the August 2022 Home Mock results for BECE candidates however, we present to the public a summary of the top 7 weaknesses of 2022 BECE Candidates detected in the August BECE Home Mock
The results released come with brief examiner’s reports which must be taken seriously. The trend analysis from the last four mocks has revealed the following Weaknesses of 2022 BECE Candidates.
- BECE candidates or schools do not take the literature aspect of the English paper seriously. The general performance of candidates in literature is weak.
- Most BECE 2022 candidates have a challenge answering descriptive-related essay questions. Teachers of the English language need to help their candidates master the organization, content, etc. of such essays and test their candidates in such areas often to help bring the needed improvement.
- Students are faced with the challenge of communicating answers accurately to obtain the full marks allocated.
- Candidates do not know how to approach Social Studies Questions. Social Studies teachers should not only concentrate on the completion of topics but must begin to dedicate quality time to teaching candidates how to answer social studies questions to obtain the allocated marks in full.
- Students further showed weakness in integrated science. It has come to light after the August Mock that most schools do not teach certain topics well enough for candidates to grasp the concepts and scientific knowledge. The biggest headache for candidates has to do with the practical aspect of the paper.
- Some candidates do not know the structure of articles for publication, as well as how speeches are written. English teachers must work on their students in this area very well ahead of the BECE.
- Finally, candidates must know that knowing the answer and not being able to express them in the English language has a negative effect on their scores and grade. Revisions and learning sessions should not only be about reading materials but also about practising, thus, retaining knowledge, rewriting them, and answering questions from retained knowledge to train and get ready for the upcoming examination.
