Education-News Consult

Education-News Consult has conducted its first 2025 BECE Mock for would be candidates. In this post we share some of the  Integrated Science Objective Test Questions with students, teachers and parents. The 2025 BECE Mock 1 covered sections of the basic 7 and 8 curriculum for integrated Science. At the end of the objective test questions, we also share one of the section B questions.

Teachers and schools are to use these to test their learners; however, the full set of questions and marking schemes can be accessed from our online store –  Go here
