A mock exam is usually conducted for BECE candidates as a dress rehearsal for the main BECE.
Some candidates who spoke to GhanaWeb said they were confident about passing the paper with flying colors.
“It was manageable. It has been questions we have gone through which are also in the syllabus, so we have been taught and it was manageable. I know I have written what I have been taught and so I pray my paper will be in good hands so that I get the best grade,” one student said.
Another student also indicated that she wishes for fair marking of her examination script as that will enable her to secure her dream grade for the subject.
“It was okay for me because most of the questions appeared in our mock [exams] so I tried. I’m happy and trusting that my paper will go into good hands and then they’d mark and I’d do well,” she mentioned.
