Candidate grading and selection

The examination consists of multiple-choice and written questions, and Continuous (Internal) Assessment marks provided by the schools. In Ghana, candidates are graded on a nine-point scale, with Grade 1 for highest performance and Grade 9 for lowest.[5]

From 2017–Date, Candidates in Nigeria have been graded on a non-linear 5 point scale from

  • A(Distinction) The highest grade
  • B(Upper Credit)
  • C(Lower Credit)
  • P(Pass)
  • F(Fail) The lowest grade.

Before 2017, it was graded on a non-linear 4 point scale:

  • F(Fail)

Review of scripts

Scripts (graded tests) are kept for three months, then destroyed. During this time, they may be examined, for a fee, though by the authorization of a school's head or its accredited representative.

Certification

Certificates for successful candidates are produced within a month after results are released, and are sent to schools for collection by individual candidates. Certificates lost or damaged after collection are not replaced.[6]

2015 Cancellation

The 2015 BECE began Monday, June 15, with the English Language and Religious and Moral Education papers, and was scheduled to end Friday, June 19, with the Information Communication Technology (ICT) paper.[7] On Wednesday, June 17, two days into the examinations, the West Africa Examinations Council cancelled five subjects, claiming the papers had been 'compromised' and that cancellation was necessary to safeguard both the integrity of the examinations and subsequent certificates.[8] In its official statement, WAEC explained that leakage of the test was so widespread, some questions had been shared on the WhatsApp messaging platform.[9]

The following papers were cancelled:

  • English language 2
  • Religious and Moral Education 2
  • Integrated Science 2
  • Mathematics 2
  • Social Studies 2

The cancelled papers were re-administered on June 29 and June 30, 2015.[10]
