2024 BECE Marking Date and Grading System Out

2024 BECE Papers Marking Date and 2024 BECE Grading System

Information reaching the Education-News Consult portal is that WAEC has released the 2024 BECE marking date.

The Ghana Education Service disclosed that SHS1 students who are 2024 BECE graduates will commence term one of the 2024-2025 academic year on September 27, 2024.  However, this will not be possible since WAEC will still be marking the BECE in the first week of October 2024. Let us now find out the start and end dates for the marking of the BECE papers. We will also share with readers the latest 2024 BECE grading system.

On which date will WAEC start making 2024 BECE scripts?

According to our source, the processes for marking the 2024 BECE scripts have been stated, and the National Coordination for Exams and Assessments has already worked on the marking schemes for the BECE.

This important process took place at WAEC Hall, ACCRA.

WAEC’s zonal coordination for the marking of the 2024 examination scripts started on September 17, 2024. It is expected to end on the 11th of October, 2024.The nationwide conference marking starts on 21st September and ends on the 11th October 2024.
Since all the preliminary processes have been completed, NATIONWIDE MARKNG OF BECE starts on 10th August.

What is the 2024 BECE Grading System?

The BECE (Basic Education Certificate Examination) grading system in Ghana assesses students’ performance in various subjects. It is used by WAEC for each subject. Each subject is graded on a scale from 1 to 9, with 1 being the highest (best) grade and 9 being the lowest (worst) grade. Below is the full 2024 BECE Grading System

  • Grade 1: 80 – 100% (Excellent)
  • Grade 2: 70 – 79% (Very Good)
  • Grade 3: 60 – 69% (Good)
  • Grade 4: 55 – 59% (Credit)
  • Grade 5: 50 – 54% (Credit)
  • Grade 6: 45 – 49% (Credit)
  • Grade 7: 40 – 44% (Pass)
  • Grade 8: 35 – 39% (Pass)
  • Grade 9: 0 – 34% (Fail)

Key Points in the 2024 BECE Grading System

  • Grades 1 to 6 are considered as pass grades.
  • Grades 7 and 8 are pass grades but may not qualify students for admission into highly competitive senior high schools.
  • Grade 9 is a fail grade, and students scoring this grade may need to retake the exam or explore alternative education options.

What happens if you score 9 in Mathematics and or English at the BECE?

Students who score 9 in Mathematics, English Language, or both will not be placed in any secondary school by the GES. This has been the practice for the past 7 years.

For instance, if you score grade 1 in all other subjects but obtain a grade 9 in Mathematics or English language, there is no school placement for you and no self-placement. A student who scores grade 7 in all subjects, including grade 8 in mathematics or English language, will get placed. Note that the issue is about Maths and Science.

This grading system above applies to all subjects taken in the BECE.

School selection has been completed. However, students are expected to start their secondary education on a new date, which the GES has yet to communicate.
Now that the 2024 BECE Marking Date is out, one thing BECE candidates can do is keep hope alive and pray for whoever will mark each of their papers.

    I am a bit confused here. The information I had indicated that scoring 90-100 gives u grade 1.

    Please are you sure this is the original grading system for 2024 BECE all subjects?
    If so then God richly bless you all, WAEC, GES and most especially Education News Consult.

      It is not a bad grade, your raw scores will be good and you can get placed in choice 1 or 2 depending on the competition for space in the schools you chose.
