The life of the Prophet
Answer: A. Makkah and Madinah
The Hijrah took the Prophet and the Muslims from Makkah to Madinah after Makkah rejected the message. Damascus, Cairo and Baghdad are not the two cities of that journey. Naming only one city, or swapping the direction, misses the event the question asked for.
The life of the Prophet
Answer: B. It was a treaty, not a battle
Hudaybiyyah was an agreement, a treaty. Badr, Uhud and Khandaq are the battles, and they are different events. The first revelation is the call. The Farewell Pilgrimage comes later. Calling Hudaybiyyah a battle mixes two kinds of event and loses the point.
The rightly guided caliphs
Answer: C. Uthman
Uthman is associated with the single standard text and with sending copies out so the recitation would agree. Abu Bakr is associated with the earlier order to collect the Qur'an into writing. Umar is remembered for government and for the calendar counted from the Hijrah. A West African trader is part of a different topic.
The rightly guided caliphs
Answer: A. Traders and teachers along the routes
Traders crossed the Sahara and teachers taught. The pilgrimage also linked West Africa to the wider Muslim world. Ghana, Mali, Songhai and Kanem Borno are the places the syllabus names. Badr is a battle in the life of the Prophet. The standard text of the Qur'an is Uthman's work. A Gospel belongs to a different paper.
The Qur'an
Answer: A. Allah is one and has no equal
Al Ikhlas teaches that Allah is one, needs nothing, does not beget and was not begotten, and has no equal. It is not a battle narrative. Kente is cloth, and it is not this chapter. The pillars of Islam are a different list from the teaching of this short chapter. Give the meaning, not a topic from another section.
The Qur'an
Answer: B. Revealed in Makkah
Makki means revealed in Makkah. Madani means revealed in Madinah. The two sets are not the same chapters, so the labels cannot be swapped. Uthman arranged a standard text later. A hadith is a report of the Prophet, not a chapter label. If you are not sure of a chapter, do not guess the label.
Hadith and the Sunnah
Answer: A. The chain of narrators
Isnad is the chain of narrators. Matn is the text. Rawi is a narrator. The pillars are practices, not parts of a report. The Hijrah is a journey, not a term in hadith study. Swapping Isnad and Matn is a common way to lose the mark.
Tawhid and worship
Answer: A. Prayer, zakat and fasting
The pillars include the declaration of faith, prayer, zakat, fasting and the pilgrimage. Angels, books and messengers are articles of faith, a different list. The three battles belong to the life of the Prophet. The caliphs are leaders, not pillars. Do not mix the two lists in one answer.

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.
