Latest BECE Mathematics Chief Examiners Report: Candidates weakness and challenges that can lead to massive failure in 2023.
The most current BECE Mathematics Chief Examiners Report released in 2021 has the key to helping candidates and schools prepare and unlock success but if nothing is done about the issues raised by the examiner, the identified candidates weakness and challenges can lead to massive failure in 2023.
During the 2023 BECE Mocks, it also came to light that candidates struggled to deal with the issues raised by the WAEC in its latest 2021 examiner’s report.
Latest BECE Mathematics Chief Examiners Report: Candidates’ weakness and Challenges that can lead to massive failure in 2023
THE SUMMARY OF CANDIDATES’ STRENGTHS
If candidates who are preparing for the BECE 2023 do not have these are their strengths, then we have a bigger challenge at hand.
In the 2021 BECE, candidates showed strengths in the following areas:
(a) solving set problems;
(b) algebraic factorization;
(c) ratio problem relating to sharing;
(d) solving problems on vectors;
(e) solving problems on frequency distribution table.
The question is can 2023 BECE candidates solve such questions at this time?

How to solve BECE mathematics questions the right way
Solving mathematics questions effectively during the BECE (Basic Education Certificate Examination) in Ghana requires a systematic approach and diligent preparation. Here are some key steps to help you solve mathematics questions correctly:
Understand the Question: Read each question carefully and identify the problem or concept being tested. Pay attention to any given information, formulas, or diagrams.
Plan Your Approach: Develop a clear plan of how you will tackle the problem. Break it down into smaller steps if necessary. Decide on the appropriate mathematical operations or strategies to use.
Show Your Work: Write down each step of your solution, showing all calculations and formulas used. This helps you organize your thoughts and allows for easy verification of your answer.
Apply the Correct Concepts and Formulas: Utilize the relevant mathematical concepts, formulas, and theorems that are applicable to the problem. Be sure to use the correct units, measurements, and formulas when necessary.
Check Your Answer: Once you have solved the problem, double-check your answer to ensure accuracy. Check for calculation errors, units of measurement, and verify that your answer aligns with the given question requirements.
Practice Regularly: Mathematics proficiency improves with practice. Solve a variety of math problems regularly to enhance your problem-solving skills and familiarity with different concepts.
Seek Clarification: If you encounter difficulties or uncertainties, don’t hesitate to seek clarification from your teacher or peers. Understanding the underlying concepts and techniques is crucial for solving mathematics questions accurately.
Time Management: Manage your time wisely during the exam. Allocate appropriate time to each question, keeping in mind the total duration of the exam. If you encounter a challenging question, move on and return to it later if time permits.
Review and Revise: After completing your answers, take a few moments to review your solutions. Check for any errors, ensure you have answered all parts of the question, and make any necessary corrections or improvements.
Stay Calm and Focused: Maintain a calm and focused mindset during the exam. Avoid rushing through questions and take your time to understand and solve each problem effectively.
Remember, consistent practice and understanding of mathematical concepts are key to improving your problem-solving skills. Utilize available resources such as textbooks, past exam papers, and online resources to enhance your preparation. With dedication, practice, and a structured approach, you can approach mathematics questions during the BECE with confidence and achieve better results.
