The Education News Consult, an assessment institution has released the January 2025 BECE Integrated Science Mock Questions. The questions released in this post are part of those used to access candidates in homes and schools in the month of January as part of preparations for the June 9th to 16th BECE examination to be administered by WAEC.
Teachers, schools and candidates will find these questions useful. No marking schemes have been attached. In the near future before the BECE is written we will release the marking schemes.
