The Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) is taken by candidates in the final year of Junior high school in Ghana once every year (June/July)

Candidates are advised not to fall prey to scammers who sugar coat their words to trace your papers. It is a total scam, there is nothing like paper tracing right after the exam ends.

Whatever you wrote will be marked pertaining to the answers in the marking scheme from the syllabus you were taught from the entire three years.

Again, there is nothing like paper tracing! Candidates and parents are advised to flee from such scammers. You fall at your own peril.
