Why students pass mock exams yet fail BECE/WASSCE [Tips to over video]

Have you wondered why some BECE and WASSCE candidates do well in their mock examinations but fail to impress or make the same or better grades in the main WAEC administered examination?

Schools organize mock examinations for BECE and WASSCE candidates with the intention of achieving several of the following results.

a. Introduce candidates to likely examination questions.

b. Make students get used to examination conditions and environment.

c. Help students to follow examination rules and regulations.

d. Test students to access their readiness for the main examination.

e. Identify mistakes students make during the mock and help correct them before the main examination.

f. Assess the impact of teachers and their lessons on students.

g. Have a fair view of the results each student is likely to obtain.

The above are just a few of the reasons why mock examinations are organized.

However, why is it that some students pass mock exams but fail BECE and WASSCE? Let us explain this.

In every examination, for instance, in Social Studies, there are often three sections under which two to three questions may be given to the student. You are often required to answer just one question from each section.
