A Must Read For All BECE Candidates: See How An Intelligent BECE Graduate “Failed” By Scoring Aggregate 16
This is a true life story and as such, candidates must learn serious lessons from this. For the sake of the candidate’s privacy, his identity will be kept anonymous.
This candidate attended a private Junior High School and he was well known for his intelligence, brilliance and display of intellectual skills. His school organized 8 internal and external mocks for their BECE candidates and out of the eight mocks, this student in question got aggregate 6 in 5 of the mocks and got aggregate 7 in the remaining 3 mocks. You might think that the questions in the mock were easy. That was however, not the case. The mock they wrote were above the BECE standard. The boy was so intelligent that each time a marked script was distributed to his class, you will realize that he gets the highest mark and the second highest mark earner will get a mark, at least 30 marks less than his.
Let me give you the shock of your life. When he was in form 3, he was done with the syllabus and he had started learning some Senior High School topics and his aim was to represent his dream school in the popular NSMQ.
Because of his performance, the least the teachers expected from him was that he would score 1 in all nine subjects. The main target was for him to win the overall best performing BECE candidates in the country.
After writing his final exams, he continued learning the SHS syllabus. The boy and his school was shocked to discover the grade of the boy; 16. Let me share the exact results of the boy with you.
Mathematics: 4
English: 3
Social Studies: 2
Science: 2
RME: 3
Pre-Tech: 2
Twi: 4
French:3
ICT:3
The question you would ask is, what really happened? Why did he perform abysmally? There has been several suggestions about the cause of his failure.

The major cause that stood up was his daily challenging of the existence of God. Because he was intelligent, he was able to put up debates and articulately give reasons why “God does not exist”. And believe you me, if you are not a strong believer, you might cave into him.
So it is alleged that because of this and other reasons, he failed.
Candidates must therefore pray each day for some minutes, commiting this war (BECE) into God’s hands.
