Signs that a 2023 BECE or 2023 WASSCE Candidate is Preparing towards Failing the Examination

The Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) and the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) are important milestones in the lives of Ghanaian students. They are the gateway to further education and employment, and a good performance can open up many opportunities.

However, not all students are equally prepared for these examinations. Some students may be struggling academically, while others may be facing personal challenges that are affecting their studies. If you are concerned that a student you know is preparing towards failing the BECE or WASSCE, there are some signs that you can look for.

Here are some of the signs that a student is preparing towards failing the examination:

• The student did not attend classes regularly during the preparation and critical revision session by teachers.
• The student failed to complete their homework or assignments or failed to revise the topics suggested by the teacher
• The student is not studying for the examination and is instead having so much fun and seems not to care. Not studying for the examination is the most obvious sign that a student is at risk of failing an examination. If the student is not taking the time to study, they are not going to be prepared for the test.
• The student is not confident in their ability to pass the examination.
• The student is talking about giving up or not taking the examination seriously.

If you see any of these signs, it is important to talk to the student and their parents or guardians. You can also offer to help the student with their studies or connect them with a tutor.

Here are some recommendations for students who are preparing towards failing the examination:

• Encourage the student to attend classes regularly.
• Develop a study schedule and stick to it.
• get the resources to help you study, such as textbooks, study guides, and practice questions.
• The student must stay positive and motivated.

It is important to remember that everyone learns differently, so there is no one-size-fits-all approach to helping students who are preparing towards failing the examination. The most important thing is to be supportive and to offer the student the help they need to succeed.

Failing the BECE or WASSCE can be a devastating experience for a student.

However, it is important to remember that it is not the end of the world.
