How To Pass BECE/WASSCE English Language Paper

To pass the BECE/WASSCE English Language Paper, candidates must be creative writers in terms of their essays.

The BECE and WASSCE will be significant exams for candidates, and in terms of the English language, they must demonstrate good creativity, understand the demands of the essay question, and be adept at lying.

English composition questions are the only ones that permit learners to tell education-appropriate lies as they write their compositions.

While creative lies are allowed, candidates must adhere to the essay writing guidelines and make sure their essays meet the “COME” marking criteria.
C : Content: Candidates get a maximum of 5 marks here.
O: Organization: Candidates get a maximum of 10 marks here.
M: Mechanical Accuracy: Candidates get a maximum of 5 marks here.
E: Expression: Candidates get a maximum of 10 marks here.
