This publication seeks to educate students and Ghanaians on the 2023 BECE Grading System
In an effort to apply consistent measurements of various levels of accomplishment in a course, the WAEC BECE Grading System was developed. Letters, a range, a percentage, or a number out of a possible total can all be used to represent grades. In certain nations, grades are averaged to create a grade point average.
The grading system will help parents and students choose courses or programs that satisfied the necessary Cut-Off points.
Below is the BECE grading system covered in details.
BECE Marks and Grades: Interpretation
The following are their BECE marks and grades. GRADE A+ is assigned to 90-100. The second category in this classification, 80-89, is graded as GRADE A. GRADE C is 50-54 or number 6 in the grading system.
How are BECE Scores Calculated?
Candidates are graded based on their performance in the external examination (objective and written) and the school’s Continuous (Internal) Assessment marks. Candidates are graded on a nine-point numerical scale, with Grade 1 denoting the best performance and Grade 9 denoting the worst.
