2025 BECE Grading System
Understanding the 2025 BECE Grading System: What Every Student and Parent Should Know
This knowledge not only helps in setting realistic academic goals but also ensures that learners understand how their final results will be calculated.
How the BECE Is Graded
The BECE grading system operates on a nine-point scale. In this system, Grade 1 is considered the highest achievement, while Grade 9 is the lowest. Final results are based on two key components:
•30% from continuous assessment conducted at the school level throughout the academic year
•70% from the BECE examination itself, organized by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC)
Together, these two components provide a comprehensive measure of each student’s performance over time and during the final exam.
Grade Score Ranges
Here's a breakdown of the scores and their corresponding grades:
•Grade 1: 90–100%
•Grade 2: 80–89%
•Grade 3: 70–79%
•Grade 4: 60–69%
•Grade 5: 55–59%
•Grade 6: 50–54%
•Grade 7: 40–49%
•Grade 8: 35–39%
•Grade 9: 0–34%
Students aiming for top schools should work toward the higher grades, particularly Grades 1 to 3, which are often regarded as excellent. Meanwhile, those scoring in the lower ranges may need to consider academic support or remedial strategies.
Final Thoughts
Understanding how the BECE is graded helps all stakeholders make informed decisions. With the 70%-30% split between the national exam and continuous assessment, consistency in schoolwork throughout the year remains just as important as performing well in the final exams.
Stay focused, prepare thoroughly, and make every effort count!
