Comprehension
Answer: B. The passage on the paper
The fact has to be in the passage. A similar story can add people and reasons that are not there. A proverb belongs to literature. An English grammar rule does not answer a reading question. Write the fact the question asked for, in the language of your entry unless English was requested.
Composition
Answer: D. None of these pairs
Asante Twi and Akuapem Twi are separate entries. Ewe is not Ga. Ga is not Dangme. Fante is not Twi. You write in the language on your entry and you do not switch. None of these pairs is one paper. Akan is the family name for the Twi and Fante entries, not a single answer booklet.
Composition
Answer: B. The language on your entry
The composition tests the language of the entry. English is for the side of a translation that asks for English. Ewe, Ga, Asante Twi, Akuapem Twi, Fante and the other entries are not substitutes. A clear story in the wrong language has missed the paper.
Translation
Answer: B. The people, the action, and the time or place that was given
Keep who acted, what they did, and the time or place in the source. Do not add a reason. Do not drop a person. Copying English spelling into Twi, Ewe or Ga is not a translation. Read the direction: into your language, or into English, as the question says.
Translation
Answer: B. The answer is in a different language from the entry
The entry is Ewe. Twi is a different language and a different paper. A close meaning in the wrong language has not done the task. English is used only when the question asks for English. Do not treat Akan, Ewe and Ga as one answer.
Grammar
Answer: B. The form that fits the sentence in the language of the entry
The item asks for the word or the form that fits that sentence in your language. An English term alone does not show the form. A proverb is literature. A festival is a custom. Asante Twi, Akuapem Twi and Fante do not share every form, so stay in the variety on your entry.
Literature and customs
Answer: B. The saying and the meaning
The saying shows you know the proverb. The meaning, or a situation where it fits, is the rest of the mark. A folktale title is a different question. A list of festivals does not explain a saying. Write this in the language of your entry when the question is in that language.
Literature and customs
Answer: B. The Ga
Homowo is a Ga festival. It is not an Ewe custom and it is not an Akan custom. A custom answer names the people. Communities do not share every rite. If you are not sure which people practise a festival, leave it out rather than give it to the wrong community.

Notes, practice questions and a mark scheme for topics on the syllabus.
They are written in the style of the WASSCE, the way the examiners ask, and every one comes with the correct answer and a worked explanation. Inside glearn there are also questions taken from past papers.
Yes, on this page: type your answer and the coach marks it with AI and shows you where the marks are, a few a day with no account. Inside glearn, every answer you write.
No. You need one only to save your score and to keep going once the free marking for the day is used.
Nobody can promise that. These test the same topics and the same kind of thinking the WASSCE does, which is what practice is for. There are thousands more across BECE and WASSCE inside glearn; this page shows a small sample.
