What is School Placement Raw Score?
The School Placement Raw Score per subject is the actual score or mark you obtained in a given subject at the BECE. This score is obtained by adding up for each subject your continuous assessment score sent to GES/WAEC and the score you obtained in the BECE.
For example, if your school continuous assessment score sent to GES was 35/50, and you obtained 36/50 in the examination, your raw score will be the addition of the two scores which gives you (35+36) = 71 out of 100.
The total School Placement Raw Score for a student is the addition of all raw scores of the student’s best six subjects, thus 4 core subjects plus the best two from the rest.

How is your grade for each subject determined?
Each grade a student gets is determined based on the range in which the student’s raw score is found.
90-100 = (1) Highest
80-89 = (2) Higher
70-79 = (3) High
60-69 = (4) High Average
55-60 = (5) Average
50-54 = (6) Low Average
40-49 = (7) Low
35-39 = (8) Lower
0-34 = F (9)
Now, for example, if you scored 71 in Mathematics, your raw grade for that subject is 3 (High). You can notice that there are several scores between the 70-79 = (3) High grade.
